"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.
