I see there was an update from the poor Halifax workers whose timeline isn't going so well https://ubisoftworkerscanada.com/
Ubisoft shares continue to collapse after announcements of cuts and closures: from a total value of $11 billion in 2018 to just $600 million today - https://hive.blog/hive-143901/@davideownzall/ubisoft-shares-... - January 26th, 2026

> Following the announcement of Ubisoft's restructuring and third round of cost-cutting measures, Ubisoft's internal communication channels are full of employees shaming upper management and asking for change. 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.
