The DFEH California Department, following honest working and living conditions, sued Activision Blizzard. The stateganese claims that the company reigns a murple atmosphere in which women are forced to endure harassment, attacks and unequal salaries, however Activision Blizzard shows teeth in response: in her opinion, incompetent bureaucrats carried out the trial.
DFEH studied culture in Activision Blizzard for two years (apparently, mainly in Blizzard, not in Activision). Part of the cases that the Department distinguishes:
The company has a phenomenon called “Cubes campaigns”, when male employees get drunk, roam other people’s jobs in the office and often stick to female employees.
Male employees openly joke about violence and play video games during the working day, transferring their duties to female employees.
Women prefer not to give a promotion, as they can become pregnant (or they will “like” too much). DFEH also mentions the moments when women were criticized if they left work to pick up a child from kindergarten, and kicked out of breastfeeding rooms to hold a meeting there.
One of the women made suicide during a business trip with a male manager who took an anal cork and a lubricant. DFEH believes that this woman became a victim of harassment before: for example, at a party until her death, male staff showed each other a photograph of her vagina.
According to DFEH, the share of women in the state Activision Blizzard is about 20 %. Through the court, the Department wants to achieve compliance with the protection of employees at the workplace, payment of compensation, equalization of salaries and fulfilling the benefits that women rely.
Representatives Activision Blizzard They have already given an official comment and reacted to the lawsuit not on corporate acute:
DFEH includes distorted and in many cases false descriptions of events from the past Blizzard. We walked in every possible way to meet DFEH throughout the investigation, including provided extensive data and abundant documentation, but the department refused to inform us of the problems that he discovered.
The law obliges DFEH to conduct a high -quality investigation and a conscientious discussion with us in order to better understand and resolve all problems before suing. But the department did not do this. Instead, he hastily issued a lawsuit with inaccuracies – we will prove it in court.
We are averted by the reprehensible behavior of DFEH, who pulled the tragic suicide of an employee whose death is not related to business. DFEH did not express respect for a grieving family.
We consider this behavior shameful and unprofessional, but, unfortunately, this is an example of how the department behaved during the investigation. It is such irresponsible behavior of state bureaucrats is one of the reasons why the best enterprises leave California.
As states Activision Blizzard, DFEH claim does not reflect the working culture of modern Blizzard. Over the past few years, the company has significantly increased the gender and racial diversity (including among the leadership), introduced hot lines for anonymous complaints, began to further monitor the equality of benefits and payments, began to conduct active trainings against harassment and much more, claims Activision Blizzard.
The company is sure that it will be able to prove the failure of DFEH in court.

Toad and viper again converged in a duel
You also take an anal traffic jam with you on a business trip, and at parties you show the vagina of your employees?
At a party until her death, male staff showed each other photos of her vagina.
To each other? T.e. Everyone had their https://www.trsports.co.uk/no-deposit-bonus-online-casino-uk.html own photos of her vagina?
Public service and 2 years of investigation
The same public services that have been investigating Trump’s connections with Russian intelligence for 4 years?
On the other hand, if you read the 11th and 14th page of the document, it is written there that even if only half is true ..
Photos of the vagina at a corporate party to show of course a monoton. But the question is, but where did they come from?
Game company employees play games during the day, here is nonsense then! You play == do not work == You shift the responsibility to the women, the logic is apparently like that.
DFEH tells some kind of coarse stories
When an employee committed suicide, the police conducted an investigation. As far as I understand, the manager was searched as an involved in the case.
Boasted with a collection, exchanged rare pictures.
Uuuu is a legendary photo.
Game company employees play games during the day, here is nonsense then! You play == do not work ==
If this is not included in your work duties (and the fact that you work in the game studio does not mean at all what is included), then yes, you do not work.
Yeah, the problem of Andromeda is not that her Tima developers did not have the experience of playing games, but that women.
It’s worse, because special committees “to control the variety” are engaged in such “investigations” in public services, which are headed by any transgender deer, as on twichy. And even on such a trial, without blinking an eye, they can appoint a judge – an ardent feminist, who will pass the corresponding sentence, precedents of which have been more than once or twice.
In my life, I won’t believe that in a male company, when a man was able to attach his childbearing body for its intended purpose, also a beautiful woman, he will not talk about it or boast a little, such as: look with whom I spent this night.
Perhaps among spermotoxic adolescents it is accepted, but in the normal team there is no.
Well, in general, there are no doubts on foreign forums – the type of public service and 2 years of investigation. Plus a lot of indirect traces float, for example … very zealous (to the point of absurdity, following these all the trends of tolerance, for somewhere for about two years.
play video games during the working day, shifting their duties to female employees
Still, I would like more specifics. So in many companies there are restrooms where there are prefixes or billiards or some other entertainment for employees. And the fact that men use these rooms and women do not say that men shift their duties to women. Or in Blizzard, a hard patriarchy and any man can simply tell any woman-college “Go make such a tassum for me, and I will play the console for now”? I can hardly believe it in this.
One of the women made suicide during a business trip with a male manager who took an anal cork and a lubricant. DFEH believes that this woman became a victim of harassment before: for example, at a party until her death, male staff showed photos of her vagina.
Some kind of sur who is like the stories from all sorts of “victims of violence”. Suicide is undoubtedly a tragedy, but I do not believe that in Blizzard there is a whole department of troll-abecuers, which purposefully brought the girl to suicide. Yes, and I do not believe that the girl did not appeal to the managers with complaints, did not try to resolve the issue, and that the leadership did not react in any way. I am just sure that in this story everything is not so simple and possible that the girl originally had some mental problems. And above in the comments the question was already asked the question “where did the pack of colleagues take pictures of its vagina” where did the pack of colleagues “? And the main question “is the truth is easier to commit suicide than change the work?”
In short, I am very skeptical in relation to these charges.
You read and fucking: that, there are no normal people left at all?
I am more confused why everyone believed that it was her photo? Maybe one of the morons downloaded a photo from the Internet and began to brag about it.
Zhenya are more adapted to sit and sort out, weave
So that our conversation remains on the topic, ignore this stuffing
So also on such a legendary series of games
But some horseradish when it comes to the search for employees in the posts of computer professions, you can’t find the normal ones, but the quotas are pressed
Picture from Appendix is the team that created Mass Effect: Andormeda.
I am sure that it was one and a half women in the team that destroyed a masterpiece that all other men created.
And the quality of this masterpiece was in no way affected by the fact that the whole experience of the team was reduced to DLC for SIMS, a pair of gun guns and cards for the multiplayer ME3.
I am confident with such a portfolio, it is very easy to convince the bosses of the mega-corporation to allocate millions to you for a large project and the bosses EA well, the Niiiikak could not predict that something would go wrong (and not, for example, they decided to save on development, entrusting the project to low-paid beginners, hoping that the game would pay off at the expense of the name).
by what right they thought that they would take out such positions? or prestige to them all eyes? Where is the respect for business? Why did they not sober that they hung their work that they were too tough?
Remind what song the team has chosen for the “advertising” game?
And they slapped about this, in anonymous interviews, where they did not threaten to lose their jobs and forever end up on the black list of HR-n all gaming companies and did not have to say to the children “with today we spend the night on the street. But I told everyone that the game from EA will suck, because Slime Ball considers it more important!”
Also absolutely inherited prehistoric culture of women
We wider, because special committees “to control diversity” are engaged in such “investigations” in public services
You can refer to a link to this committee inside DFEH? I’m very interesting for me.
A judge – a fierce feminist who will pass the corresponding sentence, precedents of which has been more than once or twice can be appointed to such a trial.
You can examples of “similar judicial examples”? For only Riot comes to my mind and they themselves solved the issue and the fact that the judge was a “ardent feminist” also does not fit the example.
