Online, employees will use the #ActiBlizzWalkout hashtag to participate virtually.

So they're going to work like normal

Are they walking because they feel attacked or because they stand with the victims?

The latter.

Man some of the recent ex employee stories are really difficult to read.. being told you (a game dev) should be a secretary ... having food thrown at you when you gave a requested answer ... guys undoing your bra through your shirt

Seems like the company is going to be given the hard goodbye and deserves it to boot.

They had a manager whose behavior was so well known and vile that they called his suite the Cosby suite.

That's easy to say when your livelihood isn't on the line and the company you work for gives a fuck. Activision Blizzard doesn't

@Blue_Inigo

That is why you have another job lined up or search for another job before doing this.

Never stay at a shit hole company long term, and down sizing temporarily to leave that shit hole company is more then worth it.

Remember in the early 00's when Blizzard was one of the most top-tier game devs? What happened?

Edit: I didn't know this was all happening all the way back then too. I thought this was a recent thing. Yikes >_>

They got greedy, corrupt, and had changes in leadership most likely.

Apparently HR *was* part of the problem as they'd try to minimize incidents or promote the victim (to buy silence)

Activision side is implicated in this too. Its just that more public stories are coming from the Blizzard side. The woman who was sexually harassed so badly she committed suicide was an Activision employee though

Nothing "happened" save the victims feeling more able to speak out. This was likely always a thing and always a problem, but the victims never had a way to speak out and be believed.

That is horrible, no one should ever be tormented at work to the point they end it all.

This is an industry-wide problem with any male dominated field. Anyone boycotting blizz should be quitting video games and tv/movies altogether

I simply mean this type of behaviour is nothing new in human society in general. It's the same with the whole "metoo" movement, people just feel they might actually be listened to and that the behaviour isn't something they just "have to tolerate as how it is"

100% activision is going to use this to their advantage and fire the rest of the blizzard old guard and replace them with activision lackeys, completing the takeover that bliz has been able to somewhat hold out against until now
