New report details more of Ubisoft’s alleged institutional abuse and discriminationUnsurprising
Unsurprising
I don’t know if anything in the report is particularly surprising. It gives more examples of alleged sexist, racist, homophobic, and harassing behaviour which yeah, fit the pattern. It has more allegations about Serge Hascoët, the chief creative officer who resigned earlier this month, including that he and his team sometimes held business meetings in strip clubs and naturally this stifled women’s careers. It has more people reporting inappropriate sexual behaviour from colleagues and managers. It has more people alleging that HR did not help when they reported their troubles. It has accusations from a former HR person that the company distrusted victims and were hesitant to act. It has more accounts saying that high-ranking staff were valued more and protected. Yeah, this broadly fits with what people have been saying.
Do you want to read more allegations? Because now you can, in this new report, if you want to? I am so tired and so angry. Between Ubisoft andTwitchand others, I have read so many allegations from so many people (primarily women) over the past month, upsetting but unsurprising. It’s not just Ubisoft either. Ubisoft are only the latest company to find themselves caught ina scandal of their own creation. They surely won’t be the last.
