Ubisoft Singapore faces reports of harassment and discrimination, with data showing only 40% of their senior expert roles are local residents.
Singapore, an office of the French video-game developing firm, is now under investigation following claims of sexual harassment, bullying, and workplace discrimination. The organisation that’s handling the probe is the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices , a Singaporean group started up by their Ministry of Manpower and others fighting for worker’s rights.
These claims even include racial discrimination, as Tafep reports a ‘French ceiling’ that caused only 40% of Ubisoft Singapore’s expert and senior expert roles to be Singaporeans or permanent residents.The Straits Times These reports may lead to civil sanctions which could lead to blocking the studio from providing new work passes to foreign workers, and the more serious allegations may start a criminal investigation.
Managing director Long has acknowledged these statements and responded by saying that they have hired a third-party agency to look further into the matter, and that the studio “does not tolerate harassment, discrimination or misconduct of any kind”, even though the data seems to say otherwise.
