We are not as bad as Activision, Ubisoft recruiter
In addition to Activision Blizzard, months ago there were also a few cases of harassment within some offices of Ubisoft. Apparently things were not so serious, so it was not too noise about it, but anyway, they are things that would not have to happen. And well, a recruiter of the publisher French recognized this during a recent conversation.
Via Twitter, the user @ Accent shared an anecdote of when he talked with this Ubisoft recruiter. Of Hero with Accent, the recruiter asked him what he would need to tell him to convince him to work in Ubisoft for five or more years. Accent He replied that Ubisoft would need to improve their working conditions, so the recruiter answered, Well, at least we are not as bad as in Activision!
Ubisoft has been taking measures to improve working conditions, and even hired Anika Grant, Human Resources Exbabezal for Uber, who will now be responsible for this department in the French company. However, it was recently also reported that Ubisoft was ignoring all these cases of harassment and discrimination, but hopefully, and under the supervision of Grant, things will improve within the company.
Editor's Note: And although things within Ubisoft are not equally worse than in Activision Blizzard, the point is not really that. No company, beyond the gaming industry, would have to have toxic labor environments and much fewer cases of harassment or discrimination. Hopefully in the coming years things can change for good.
