After Yves Guillemot, head of Ubisoft demanded more and better games after poor results, several French unions asked workers to go on strike and protest everything that has happened in recent months within the company.
We know that around 40 Ubisoft Paris employees took the Solidaires Informatique union at its word and went on strike last Friday. They met to discuss the studio's problems and demand improvements in the work culture.
UBISOFT PARIS DEVS RAISED THEIR VOICES AGAINST GUILLEMOT AND HIS POLICIES
According to the details, the developer group paused its activities at 1:00 PM on Friday. Instead of protesting in the company's immediate vicinity, they met in the cafeteria to discuss all the internal problems the company is experiencing.
One of the central issues was Guillemot's demands, since they implied undergoing harsh development cycles and an excessive workload. The workers believe the situation will be very complicated in the coming months, so their goal is to think of actions to deal with certain abusive policies.
They assured that the development of certain projects has led them to exhaustion, so they will not throw in the towel with their demands despite the pressures. This meeting was attended by approximately 15% of the workers of that Paris office.
The workers clarified that there would be more such strikes, as they want Ubisoft management to change its stance and facilitate better working conditions.
“This strike has helped build the next strikes to come. If Ubisoft management doesn't want to hear from us, they may understand that it's the workers who decide when the games are released," said one attendee, who remained anonymous for fear of retaliation.
