Last week, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot sent a letter to all staff in which he asked employees to “give it [their] all” and to be “as efficient and lean as possible.” French union Solidaires Informatique have written their own letter today, arguing that Guillemot’s “words mean something: overtime, managerial pressure, burnout, etc.”
In response, they’re calling for Ubisoft Paris employees to strike from 2 to 6pm on Friday, January 27th, with demands that include an “immediate 10% increase for all salaries” and the “implementation of a 4-day week.”
