Wont let me copy and paste
Google Bloomberg Activision frat boy
he’s just a troll.
was super, super critical and nasty about the ga,e/devs, got banned for some reason, and this is his response. I’d just ignore him.
Irony?

Mostly I see the ones who are brave enough to call everyone ‘cowards’ from behind a keyboard…mostly…
Or Eletronic Arts.
yeah…seems like they got quite a bad reputation a while back too, if memory serves.
Another one that I loved their stuff way back when.

You know, it’s not really. There is toxicity but mostly great people. I’m tired of seeing this thread bumped and am muting.
I don’t normally take Blizz side in things like this but this reads oddly.
A two-year investigation by the state agency found that the company discriminated against female employees in terms and conditions of employment, including compensation, assignment, promotion, and termination.
These are just statistics and if true can cause some serious problems.
female employees make up around 20% of the Activision workforce
Not surprising as females tend not to want to be programmers. And those that are are often drawn to other industries and not gaming.
According to women in tech statistics for 2020, men outnumber women in the Engineering industry. A whopping 80% of those in the field are male, while only 20% are female.
The agency alleges male employees play video games during the workday while delegating responsibilities to female employees
I’m not sure how this is even surprising. If your testing for bugs in a video game you need to delegate the debugging to interns whom may be female.
Female employees allege being held back from promotions because of the possibility they might become pregnant
As a supervisor if I hear a woman is trying to get pregnant it means leaving for a year, I stop all resources going into training her on anything further. This doesn’t mean she’s no longer valuable to the company, but she will be treated like people who are looking for another job or are finishing school to enter a different industry.
Now if its a case that woman are being looked over for promotion because there is a possibility of pregnancy by the mere fact that they are a woman then there are issues.
being criticized for leaving to pick their children up from daycare
Yeah its irritating. If your scheduled a certain time to work you should be there. If your not then you should be fired. This goes for anyone consistently missing time from work. And it really irritates co workers who are behind on a deadline and forced to work over time…
being kicked out of lactation rooms so male colleagues could use the room for meetings, the complaint says.
Why is there a lactation room to begin with? Thats just odd. But was it currently in use for its intended purpose? Was there any other space for the meeting?
The suit also points to a female Activision employee who took her own life while on a company trip with her male supervisor.
Unless there is proof that there was cause and effect then this is circumstantial at best.
This entire thing sounds like a woman who wanted children not being promoted having the child and missing work. Then when management tried to push her out because she couldn’t/wouldn’t push the workload of other employees she filed a complaint with the state.
They never would have made a change unless there was an outcry.
Not the questiobs I have.
When was the investigation preformed… It was over which 2 years cause you know covid and no offices.
Just fits well with a post about toxic environments…
