Given the share price has fallen so hard, I won’t be surprised if Ubisoft just lays off most the workforce anyways.

I feel like most of the forced return to the office is just a stealth layoff tactic.

People will leave, and also there is no proven benefit of being in the office. On the opposite there are papers talking about work from home being more efficient.

Most companies that force people back into the office are also struggling so it makes sense they want people to leave, they just don't have to provide severance pay this way.

The publisher is also launching an internal review "in light of recent challenges" to identify ways the company can improve how it releases games, engages with its players, and benefits its stakeholders and shareholders.

We all know you will exclusively go for the last part and start shouting oh no what happun?!
