This is my feeling, too. I’m not criticizing anybody who chooses to continue playing the game. I feel this is a personal choice.
However, for me, at least, it’s overwhelmingly obvious that Blizzard is guilty of arrogance, abuse, dismissing grievances, and sexual assault, among other things. I don’t need the court to tell me or to wait for the evidence.
The evidence is clear in the way everyone in the company has responded.
Same, but the other side. I am still sticking around because there are things present in WoW that I enjoy doing with friends that are not present in other games, but I don’t blame people for choosing to leave for a second. If I didn’t have the friend thing tying me here, I would as well.
I’ve been watching Twitter and more employees (former and current) are signing. As far as I’m concerned every employee in the damn company should be signing it, a united front is absolutely necessary.
As well as keeping a roof over the heads of those working there and had to put up with all that has transpired .Some of those people being possible victims of the abuse. Losing the money won’t hurt the executives as much as it will those there that depend on our continued support of the game.
When asked about unionization by one of the employees, Taub’s answer was again pushing for internal handling of these situations. “The best way for protection is reaching out to your supervisors, hotline and avenues."
bosses: you dont need a union. we’re all family here
i would love to see blizzard employees unionize and create a ripple effect through the industry leading to better wages and treatment for them
This is the same corporate line every non-unionized workplace gives you. They don’t want a union because then they might have to be held accountable when people have grievances.
