The group A Better Ubisoft has denounced that the increases do not occur fairly.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a huge success, evidenced by the release of a detailed roadmap for 2021 after becoming the second most profitable game for Ubisoft. But, although Eivor still has a long way to go, It seems that Ubisoft Canada has to participate in its own struggles, since the salary of your staff has risen to avoid resignations from its longest-standing developers.
A Better Ubisoft believes there is a lack of equity in the salary increaseUbisoft Canada is the headquarters from which powerful projects such as the aforementioned Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or the recent Far Cry 6 have been born, but various factors such as the pandemic or disruptions in the Canadian market they have led to several developers resigning their jobs. Therefore, and following the information that the A Better Ubisoft group has provided to Kotaku, the company has decided to increase salaries: employees with less experience will receive an increase in 5-7%, while more experienced workers will see this figure increased by 20%.
With such a disparity in numbers, A Better Ubisoft has raised its complaints due to what they consider a lack of equity in the company: “greatly favoring the salary increase of the senior staff, the board of directors is compounding the space between high-earners and low-earners. ”This complaint adds to a list of demands from A Better Ubisoft that, according to employees, have not been met at the company.
According to Kotaku sources, Ubisoft Canada has been suffering for months a bloodletting of workers who leave the company to join the ranks of different companies, so an economic strategy has been carried out to stop this phenomenon. However, Ubisoft still has a smudged picture because of the class-action harassment lawsuit in their offices that, despite all the data it has uncovered, remains unaddressed. Since, while publicly expressing his enthusiasm for carrying out strategies related to blockchain and NFTs, he also tries to prohibit his employees from speaking to the press.
