Scandal at Ubisoft - Another Veteran Laid Off

The Ubisoft scandal continues. Tommy Francois became another veteran of the company who was fired due to inappropriate behaviour towards the women employed by the publisher.

Tommy François.

In recent weeks, there has been a lot of publicity about the misbehavior that occurred at Ubisoft. As a result, there have been purges in the ranks of the publisher. The newest high-ranking employee with whom the corporation parted is Tommy Francois, who acted, among others, as a brand manager.

A month ago, Francois was suspended from his duties so that the company could investigate the matter. He was accused, among other things, of making sexual comments and initiating unwanted physical contact with women employed by the company. The accusations must have been at least partially true as Ubisoft decided to fire this employee.

Let us recall that also Serge Hascoët, Yannis Mallat and Cécile Cornet, Ashraf Ismail and Maxime Beland said goodbye to the company earlier due to inappropriate behavior.
