John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, the company whose 3D game engine had recently seen backlash from developers over proposed fee structures, will retire as CEO, president, and board chairman at the company, according to a press release issued late on a Monday afternoon, one many observe as a holiday.

    Tell me again why these hacks get paid so much for “taking risks” when they never end up being fired? I have not seen a single CEO officially fired from a company for driving it into the ground. They always “choose” to retire after fucking up the entire thing and collect a fat paycheck for doing so.

      Once you slightly climb the career ladder, vocabulary turns into marketing bs. Suddenly you most not say “problem” anymore. They’re “opportunities” or “challenges”. So at that level you don’t get “fired” because that would sound bad for the next company you’re going with. You’re looking for new challenges elsewhere. Leaving behind a dumpster fire like in this very case.
