Ubisoft plans to cut around 200 jobs at its Paris offices
, by Thibaut
The purge is far from over at Ubisoft. In the midst of restructuring, the French company is now turning its attention to its Paris headquarters. A large number of jobs are expected to be cut during this process.
To reduce costs, Ubisoft will negotiate a collective severance agreement with around 200 of its employees (approximately 18% of its Paris workforce). To do so, the company will have to discuss the matter with the unions and obtain the approval of the French authorities.
A spokesperson spoke to the VGC website about the issue.
"n line with last week’s announcements on its new operating model and the acceleration of cost-reduction initiatives, Ubisoft International has initiated discussions regarding a potential Rupture Conventionnelle Collective (RCC), a collective, voluntary mutual termination agreement that could involve up to 200 positions at its headquarters in France."
"At this stage, this remains a proposal, and no decision will be final until a collective agreement is reached with employee representatives and validated by French authorities. The proposal applies exclusively to Ubisoft International employees under French contracts and has no impact on other French entities or Ubisoft teams worldwide."
