San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

    Then why don’t they look for work at another company?

    Making death threats is still a major dick move regardless of the circumstances.

      It might have been wiser, but seems to me we got to a point we should be thinking of the circumstances.

      Besides, that only would have solved their individual problem, IF they even managed it. The way the company is being run would remain the same. How it would impact all the people who rely on that engine would remain the same.

      It’s “never acceptable” to threaten someone, but intentionally ruining countless people’s livelihoods is “nothing personal”. Something is off about that.

        You can’t just solve a company’s culture by yourself.

        You can either convince enough people to unionize, or you can save yourself.
