What better way to manage head counts down?
That’s the devious part. It’s just mass layoffs without the severance packages.
It still counts as firing you most places. Materially changing the work environment and obligations is constructive dismissal
Especially in Canada, and particularly in Quebec
I am truly fortunate to work for a game industry studio, also Montreal, that has not seen fit to do this. A good thing, as I was hired on fully remote from halfway across the country 😆
Even if I were local, working remote has been transformative for me to the point that it is a criteria in my job seeking. I won’t, can’t take a role without it.
If done right, with the right trust and understanding, remote work increases productivity for most butt-in-chair jobs.
To re-iterate, Ubisoft has done nothing to curb the sexual harassment issues that were reported ages ago and, frankly, simply not requiring return to office would’ve solved that problem along with a boost to employee happiness and workplace attractiveness.
