Unity fires manager who tweeted the company is “out of touch”
A senior partner relations manager at Unity has been fired following a tweet critising an exec at the company. This comes shortly after Unity laid off roughly 8% of its total workforce earlier this month.
The tweet in question states: “A Unity exec just shared that they rent a secondary apt in SF to make it easier to be in the office- maybe we should all just do this to make it easier to RTO? This company has lost it. Completely out of touch.”
The poster, Miranda Due, followed up by stating that “renting an apt in SF would cost me over half my gross monthly salary 🙁 Probably 3/4 of my takehome at least”. Roughly two hours later, Due would confirm she was fired.

Later on down the line ray tracing, the much-hyped rendering effect, will also be out of preview with the 23.1 LTS release. There is no specific release date for either LTS release, but they are coming soon.
