🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com French game workers union SJIV calls for a three-day strike on October 15, 2023, against Ubisoft’s return to office policy requiring employees to work at least three days per week in the office. The union considers Ubisoft’s policy abusive, claiming it lacks tangible justification and consultation with workers’ representatives, forcing employees to rebuild lives they efficiently managed during five years of remote work. Ubisoft faces financial crisis with stock price under $3 per share (lowest since 2014), employee layoffs, and high-profile game failures like Star Wars: Outlaws and delays of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. SJIV demands a formal agreement on remote work and salary raises to account for drop in living standards, but Ubisoft management remains unresponsive to employee representatives’ proposals. The union argues that the remote work period of the past five years allowed workers to efficiently manage their lives, which would be disrupted by the new office policy. Ubisoft’s financial struggles and game failures make it a challenging time for employees to demand more from the company, despite the union’s push for better working conditions.
