It's quite something seeing people very openly criticising a company they work for to such an extent, but after years of struggle, it's not surprising. > Some employee's tell me that this was the final nail in the coffin for them, and that they will be seeking employment elsewhere, and others have decided to fast-track their already existing contingency plans in case they were laid off. More have taken to LinkedIn to publically announce they are now looking for work, despite still having a job at the company. > Ubisoft is going to experience a massive exodus of talent, even without the impending layoffs.
