Unity employee here, idk anything specific about the departments that handle this I wouldn’t even know what their name is. With that caveat, I will say that all the layoffs last year going into this year, changing CEOs, and the competition between big company beurocracy and the dying breath of small company culture, a lot of departments are behaving erratically. I wouldn’t be surprised if nobody internally has a clear answer why this was banned but others aren’t. Some workers may legit be trying to help but their hands are tied for corporate or maybe even legal reasons, it could be people trying to keep their heads down and close tickets quickly to keep metrics up in the hopes they’re less likely to be fired. I think you all know this already but please don’t be too hard on the workers we’re doing what we can but it’s a corporate mess right now
Look, it’s a low level employee of a faceless corporation!
GET 'IM!
Jokes aside, thanks for the transparency, and salute to you and your coworkers for trying to weather the storm caused by “shifting paradigms”… that’s what they call it, right? I know the execs can shift my paradigm, that’s for sure.
Tech in general but especially the game industry desperately needs to unionize. If the last couple years doesn’t convince tech bros they’re just as expendable as all the other working class out there, idk what will. Got to do something to insulate us from “restructures”, “rightsizing”, and “company resets”
A friend of mine worked in a position I would have assumed was considered vital to one of Unity’s products, in fact to my knowledge they were the only one keeping that part running. Apparently the higher-ups were able to lay them off without much hesitation this time around. The company seems to be leaking hard.

I feel like more than anything right now, you need a hug. 🤗
Stop making excuses for your fuck ups and start fix things.
Amazing lol. Yeah I’ll get right on that maybe I can talk some sense into the CEO during my daily morning cocktails with him
THAT’S BETTER GOSH
Wow I never knew it was that bad. I hope you have something else lined up it sounds like everyone’s employment is shaky
