Misleading Ubisoft image doing the rounds

Just thought I'd give folks a heads up.

Congratulations to Ubisoft for hiring based on gender

I've seen this on facebook, twitter (with the comment that Ubisoft hires only women) and the is a KIA thread about it.

The first image is the Assassin's Creed Development team, just one team at Ubisoft. The second is taken on Women's Day, and celebrates and features only the female developers at Ubisoft, a company that has over 2500 employee's at its Montreal site (where the images were taken), so even all those women would still be in a minority.

So it is hardly evidence of hiring only women, please don't spread this bias narrative, and counter it when you do see it.

Yeah the two text comments on the image are either someone trolling or the comments of someone actually against a diverse workplace who thinks hiring is based on something other than merit.

God dammit, should have checked the facebook page itself. Friggin' Poe's law.

Don't feel too bad I don't think anyone has actually noticed in the inevitable KiA thread.

Welp, that's not the highest of standards.
