Nice postering, but CEOs are not ideas guys, this likely wasn't even his brain child. The people responsible are still likely there and will continue to push the company in the wrong direction.
Whether or not it was his idea is irrelevant, he's the one who approved it.
I mean, realistically these days nothing gets done without the investment boards decision. Investors control fucking everything, and IMO are directly the root cause of the enshitification of everything.
Sure. And whether he was a sacrificial goat here is not for us to know. But let's not pretend that the CEO had no responsibility.
He was at Unity for nine years.
If I hadn't seen this play out so many times before the fall guy theory might seem crazy, but it's totally plausible if he's only been there a short time, but I thought he said in his message he'd been there 10 years?
