Ubisoft’s plan was to make big cuts to the workforce and it seems that they are strictly following it
Ubisoft has laid off 60 workers as part of the announcement of staff cuts that they announced at the beginning of the year, and which has already had great effects in several locations, one of them its offices in Spain. With this movement, what the company (one of the largest in the video game sector at the moment) intends to do is get rid of jobs mainly focused on customer service areas.
The layoffs have occurred in the North Carolina and Newcastle offices. The company has stated that these organizational cuts allow them to focus on offering more effective and consistent support to players, something that may be shocking at first if we see how the customer service staff in several of the company’s offices has been seriously affected. reduced.
I just got let go from my job at Ubisoft in a massive layoff out of nowhere. With no indication or preparation.
I really just don’t know how to feel. If anyone has any job leads on game audio stuff, or just game tech stuff let me know. I’m in a weird pleasure rn lol
