Cleo_II 07/22/21 1:10:20 AM #23:	Im glad they are being called out for this shit finally. I have sources that have confirmed rampant sexual harassment and discrimination there. To the point they quit because HR wouldnt do anything about it and just made it out like they were the ones causing issues. I hope this trend of exposing these companies continues. I used to be an engineer as well and faced rampant sexual harassment. I had a client joke that I should sit on his lap while we were at a work lunch, in front of my male coworkers who sat by and chuckled at it. Its like its expected that women should just accept it and it needs to end. <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:956339048] in Blizzard i...
