Don't get fooled, he's just a scapegoat.

IIRC, that was the board's plan, not the CEO's.

James Whitehurst has been appointed as Unity’s interim CEO

James Whitehurst is the guy who played a part of the "IBM buys RedHat" deal that's been "awesome".

Roelof Botha, lead independent director of the Unity board, has been named its new chairman

Roelof Botha is from South Africa and one of Elon Musk's friends. He's one of the guys from Sequoia Capital who established part of the massive finical instruments that Musk used to purchase Twitter.

I'm actually shocked Shlomo Dovrat or Egon Durban didn't receive some role in this. This would have been a who's who of the likely five that lead the charge on the Board for the whole episode. But that said, the ascension of these two is hardly the indication that the company has learned anything. Scapegoat is indeed just a scapegoat.

Do they think we can't look up who these people are? Nothing changed

I think they (corporations) really don't understand the younger generations at all. The kids (though many are now much older than that) these days will stand up to employers who treat them badly, boycott things that become unfair, and find better ways to do things.

I think I read somewhere that boomers are the only generation that left the world worse than they entered. The fact that people are fighting back against it says a lot. It may not always be effective right now, but the more people brought up in this ridiculousness grow up, the more people will fight back. Unfortunately, what took one generation to destroy will take many to fix. We won't see it in our lifetime. Our grandkids or great grandkids will get that honor. I hope.
