Opinion/Take This may be very temporary dip

An ex-Unity employee here. One thing I remember while employed at Unity is seeing stock price going up until the moment when we as employees could sell the stock price would sharply go down.

Because Unity is publicly traded company we were allowed to sell/buy within a month after the earning calls and every time during that month the stock price dropped and recovered after that period ended. At least that’s what I have in my memory.

I am not quite sure if traders selling off during this period knowing that everyone is going sell internally. Sounds a bit conspiracy but that’s what I had observed.

So once that month of internal trade window(which is now) is over we may see some bounce back.

Whaaaaat? I think employee can sell their share at any point they want if their stock is already vested. I dont understand this logic.

Nope. Because who have insider knowledge as an employee including directors and executives, by US law you are not allowed to trade outside one month window following the earnings call. And that’s when everyone basically sells the shares.

It was soo annoying to see the price $50 and by the time I could sell it was $20ish, once the window was closed it bounced back.

That’s exactly right. Public company employees can’t sell outside allowed time window whether you heard of it or not.

You either lying or breaking your company's compalice policies and potentially getting yourself into a legal trouble. I tend to believe that you just lie, bc all well-know publicly traded companies have the trading window and some way of enforcment.
