Ubisoft Montreal employees are expressing anger and frustration over what they perceive as broken promises from Ubisoft leadership regarding a return to the office. Many employees believed they could work remotely long-term, but the company has now mandated a minimum of two days a week in the office starting September 11, 2023. Employees have cited various issues with working in the office, including noise, expenses, lack of equipment, and health concerns. The announcement has further eroded trust in Ubisoft's management, with some employees speculating that the change is a soft layoff strategy. The situation mirrors Blizzard's experience, where a similar forced return-to-office policy resulted in a mass exodus of talent.
