Ubisoft Faces Potential 'Massive Exodus' of Talent Amid Internal Unrest
Ubisoft is facing major internal discontent because the company announced its new cost-saving plans and organizational changes. According to industry insider Tom Henderson, this has led to widespread criticism of upper management by employees and could result in a major loss of talent.
Widespread Employee Dissatisfaction
Henderson reports that Ubisoft's internal communication channels are filled with employees openly "shaming upper management" and calling for change. The public nature of this criticism within the company is notable and is seen as a result of years of ongoing struggles at the publisher.
The 'Final Nail in the Coffin'
Some employees see the newest cost-cutting measures as "the final nail in the coffin." The situation has led to many employees choosing to leave their positions because of the company's changes. Some employees who had existing plans to leave the company have started to accelerate their departure while others have begun searching for new jobs on LinkedIn despite still being employed by Ubisoft.
Concerns of a 'Massive Exodus'
The situation has led to predictions of a significant departure of staff. Henderson predicts that Ubisoft will lose a large number of its employees. The company will experience a major reduction in staff who will leave their jobs before any layoffs become effective.
