So there's a big thing about Unity shutting down Weta and that sucks and etc but buried in the middle is this:

"Unity will no longer mandate that employees work from offices three a days a week and will reduce 'full in-office services' to three days a week in most locations, the company said."

Which amounts to a patent admission at a corporate level that (1) WFH is cheaper, and (2) Return To Office isn't worth pushing at a corporate level.

Wonder if the worker bees at other studios are just meant to ignore this. Cus, er. It's right there.

@glassbottommeg Shit, they're really closing down Weta? All of it?

@atmanrising @glassbottommeg nope, Weta isn’t closing down. I don’t understand the whole business structure, but Weta-proper is saving a few of the Unity employees

@leroy @atmanrising it's probable they'll all be re-hired and Weta will just have pocketed 1.5bil of Unity money for literally nothing, and that's just hilarious, heh
