Ubisoft has put forward a proposal that could eliminate as many as 200 positions at its Paris headquarters, following a recent round of project cancellations and internal restructuring. The staffing plan arrives alongside a directive pushing employees back to the office full-time, a move that has prompted union backlash. Several unions have reportedly committed to a three-day strike next month in response.

  • Management has offered voluntary redundancy measures that could affect up to 200 staff at the Paris site.
  • The cuts follow last week’s substantial slate of cancelled projects and organisational reshuffling across the company.
  • A new attendance policy would see most employees expected in-office five days a week, with only a limited number of remote days allowed annually.
  • Multiple unions have pushed back; some groups have reportedly agreed to a coordinated three-day strike in the coming month.
  • Discussions between Ubisoft and worker representatives are ongoing as the company navigates the fallout from the restructuring.
