I’m thinking it’s more that he’s just full of excrement.
The fact he said that he wouldn’t train a female if he found out she’s pregnant because she’ll be gone for a year? Huh?

Still researching what’s available.
I can’t find any names named yet, but does anyone know what department this (allegedly) happened in?
Like are we talking E-sports division, Diablo team, Overwatch Guys, or something more core to WoW like the arts team or system devs?
It doesn’t really, but as someone else pointed out there’s a lot of info on twitter right now. I’m looking at the stuff on Bellular’s twitter right now.
Kill? No. Delay? Definitely.
And I am 100% okay with delays if they’re because Blizzard cleaned house and got rid of all their PoS employees that do this type of crap.

Exclaiming ignorance of the laws of this country seems to be the meme of the day.

Yes, link back to your original post where you are yet again for the third now? fixated on victimizing women. Your literally closing your eyes saying “lalalalalalala” so you can keep up the fake battle you have concocted.

Blizzard is a video game company that got big 20 years ago. The fact that video game development, especially in the 90s and 2000s, was one giant frat party pre-Gamergate-backlash collection of barely-washed testosterone, especially at the management level, was not at all a secret.
Despite California’s very strict laws against gender-based harassment and discrimination, they likely thought that they were “just” a video game company and that was “just how things were in the industry” and didn’t do anything but pay PR lip service to cracking down on their pervasive top-down sweaty broculture. Because that’s how video games are! For the bros! Everyone knows that!
Guess it’s finally biting them in the butt.

I won’t lie, Blizz’s response reads like it came straight out of the Trump legal team. The ad hominems and the strawman about California driving honest jobs out of the state in particular sound like something that come from McEnany’s mouth. It’s mind-boggling.

It should be at least a year is the problem.

I really want to be a fly on the wall to see this kind of stuff. It blows my mind it happens. How bad is it really? Like, I’m my world, people say some pretty raunchy stuff to each other from time to time as jokes. Is it that kind of stuff or are we talking like seriously wanting to rape people. I just don’t get it.
I’m also a hillbilly from a small town so we aren’t such big snowflakes about stuff either. I hate using that word but idk what else to call it.
The investigation is over, it lasted 2 years. This is a court filing because now the state of California is taking this to court.
Nah.
Accusations based on real facts do start on court, not on the media like now. If it starts on the media, it means there is a quick need to shut down the target of the accusation’s moves, so they’ll settle more quickly, and for more cash.
Which part of this involves Twitter?
Every. There’s literally dozens of people here quoting some whatever that followed exactly the three steps I mentioned.

I live in WI.
The issue of a woman needing to breast feed or use a pump has never arisen despite having more the 200 emplyees at anyone time over the course of a decade.
But had the issue arisen it would have been dealt with in accordance with the law without needing to even know it. Its for the most part common sense. Here is a supply closet or unused office at the moment go ahead and use a do not disturb sign. If we need the space we’ll let you know alternative locations you can use. Please limit it to breaks and if you do need to use it during a nonbreak time period please make it as quick as possible.
I would then deal with any other issues as they arose. People are usually more then willing to work around uncomfortable situations and compromise if treated politely.
And ignorance of a single law is not only not uncommon but completely expected. You would need to go to law school to fully understand each and every work place law regarding OSHA, equal rights, work times based on age (despite age being a protected category,) insurance, taxes etc.

I do think it would kill the game, look how long 9.1 has taken. If the trash people that get fired are important for the game and it ends up taking much longer I don’t see as many people playing, 9.1 already feels like few people came back for the patch.
The suit also points to a female Activision employee who took her own life while on a company trip with her male supervisor. The employee had been subjected to intense sexual harassment prior to her death, including having nude photos passed around at a company holiday party, the complaint says.
Holy wtf. Did anybody get to this part???

ive quit jobs because of stuff like this. One cook went so far as to say he had my license plate written down and maybe one of the times it broke down, maybe I wouldnt come in the next day. I dont even remember why, (nearly 20 years ago). I was told the guy who said it was the nicest of the cooks and there’s no way.
If there was anything that would get me to quit this game, that would be it. How many other people (women) had to suffer through worse? IDK why i thought Blizz/Activision was immune to this particular guy culture but i really thought it was.
