> Ubisoft is going to start letting people return to the office
You say you're working at Massive which is a studio "part of the
Ubisoft family". Is it the ubisoft part that hinders
remote-work? I would have thought that such technical things are
in responsibility of the local business. And I think the
decision of going back to the office should also be in the local
business as it's highly region dependent.
Would you say you work for Ubisoft or for Massive?
- dijit 6y agoThat's an interesting question. I work for Massive, and while there is some level of local autonomy there is also a global pandemic response to this. When it comes to who decides it goes: Swedish Law > Massive > Ubisoft > whim of worker. The Swedish Pandemic response has been to recommend: "if your company can work from home then it must make every effort to do so". And so it has been. Since that happened Ubisoft has decided to close down the majority of its studios, with the strategy being to open them up as soon as the law permits. In Sweden there has been no "law" as far as I know, but Massive prefers to keep to the recommendation. So as far as it goes, the Ubisoft strategy is taken into strong consideration, but yes, I believe Massive gets the ultimate say on this. And I feel quite strongly that Massive is a unique studio in Ubisoft. There is definitely an internal struggle for independence and to retain its identity.. sadly this comes at the cost of some of our games. :(
