"Ubisoft Montreal's Mandatory Return-to-Office Order Sparks Turmoil Among Staff"

Ubisoft Montreal is facing backlash from its staff after reportedly reneging on promises of long-term remote work and mandating a return to the office for a minimum of two days a week. The decision has left employees in "turmoil" as many had made life decisions based on the belief that full-time remote work would be possible. The sudden policy change has sparked anger, health concerns, and issues surrounding the state of the office. Ubisoft is encouraging employees to find solutions with their managers, but exemptions to the return-to-office order will only be considered as a last resort. This move follows a similar policy at Activision Blizzard that led to a significant staff exodus.

"Chaos ensues as Ubisoft Montreal faces backlash over mandatory office return"

Ubisoft Montreal employees are in disarray after being forced to return to the office following a three-year work from home (WFH) period. The move has been met with division and accusations of broken promises, as employees made major life decisions based on the belief that WFH would continue. Concerns include transit, safety amid rising COVID cases, accessibility accommodations, and the quality of the office. There is a lack of trust in management's ability to address these issues, given previous allegations of a toxic workplace culture. Some speculate that the move is an intentional effort to push employees to leave without severance. Ubisoft claims the return to the office will improve effectiveness and agility, but employees remain skeptical.
