    The headline is not even the worst thing their accusers talked about during the trial, and makes it sound like this shit is supposed to be funny when its really not.

    Female employees testified to being made to do handstands while wearing a skirt, being tied to a chair, and being physically restrained while their boss forcibly kissed them.

    Some really gross quotes:

    “In four days of hearings, female former staff members variously described being tied to a chair, forced to do handstands, subjected to constant comments about sex and their bodies, having to endure sexist and homophobic jokes, drawings of penises being stuck to computers, a manager who farted in workers’ faces or scribbled on women with marker pens, gave unsolicited shoulder massages, played pornographic films in an open-plan office, and another executive who cracked a whip near people’s heads,” The Guardian reports.

    “[Hascoët] reportedly told colleagues at an away day that one of the senior female colleagues did not have enough sex, and said he would “show how to calm her” by having sex with her in the next room.”

    “[Tommy François] is also accused of kissing a member of staff on the lips without consent at a Christmas party as his colleagues “restrained her by the arms and back,” while a different witness said that during a US trip, he “grabbed [her] by the hair and kissed [her] by force.””

    ” what are you in for?”

    “Sexual harassment and farting in workers faces”

    Reading some of the accusations makes me question how people like this even exist. These are borderline maniacs.

    They really DO fart in your general direction.

    Well I’m just glad they aren’t perpetuating the myth that gamers are immature boys…

    Do people really not expect this behavior to catch up with them? I assume to get to that role you have to be smart, educated, logical human being

    Genuinely not surprising. When life gives you money, be a fucking asshole.

    Is this the assault that we’ve known about for years and years or is this some new, fresh hell?

  9. so that’s why they want to remove work from home

    Some people are just weird af.

    Have some common decency.

  11. Interesting stuff for such a “inclusive” company…so much smoke to hide the…fart I guess

  12. I wonder if the sexual harassment part is purposefully being omitted from the headline.

    Reading the details is wild. These people are disgusting

    How the fuck does this stuff happen?? Guess I’ve been lucky enough to work at boring-ass grind-fests where everyone just follows HR policy and does their work and slowly loses their soul each day

    Ubisoft just needs to be dismantled at this point!

  16. The title really doesn’t do good work. The article is way more grave.

    Geez, showing pictures of naked backside, taping someone to chair and shoving them in an elevator and threatening to carry out an office shooting. I feel so sorry for the employees having to deal with not one but three psychos.

    i dont know how this headline went through because it almost intentionally sounds more “haha funny” than “absolutely sickening behaviour”. when you read the article it becomes clear that people were dehumanized by these executives.

    Amateurs. You fart while walking by someone’s cubicle or office. You dont rip ass right into someone’s face.

    I’ve got friends and former colleagues still employed in the Montreal and Quebec office.

    The shit i know from some of the higher ups…

    I mean who doesn’t love a bit of cocaine during the company Christmas party?

    Being unemployed sucks, but I don’t think I could deal with a lot of this stuff.
