Guillemot Must Go — Demands Ubisoft's Own Union
Representatives of the Ubisoft union have stated that employee trust in management cannot be restored while Yves Guillemot leads the company. According to them, the team is in a state of shock following the announcement of a "restart," which includes studio closures, project cancellations, and the introduction of mandatory five-day in-office presence.
Employees are openly questioning Guillemot's continued tenure, as he has been at the helm during years of downsizing. Activists insist that to restore trust, he must step down, noting that his inner circle consists of "yes-men," which was also a problem during the 2020 scandal.
Particular criticism has been directed at the appointment of Guillemot's son to a key position in a new subsidiary structure. This practice is seen as nepotism, harming the creative process and limiting the influx of new ideas.
The policy of a full return to the office has also met with sharp rejection. It ignores employees' personal circumstances, with many now at risk of losing their jobs because their salaries are not sufficient for living in expensive metropolitan areas. At the same time, the company has not provided justification linking this decision to increased productivity.
As a way out of the crisis, a change in the board of directors and the appointment of new responsible executives is proposed. There is a call for global solidarity among employees, including support for an upcoming international strike.
