Former Ubisoft Execs Go On Trial Over Toxic Workplace As Union Calls For CEO To Be Tried For Complicity
Three ex Ubisoft execs have gone on trial over toxic culture in Paris as Solidaires Informatique calls for Yves Guillemot to stand for complicity.
In the backdrop, the Solidaires Informatique union, representing workers in the French video games sector, has announced it is issuing a request for Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot and long-time HR executive Marie Derain to also stand trial for complicity in alleged toxic behavior.
