I'm being sarcastic, if it's not obvious. This is a giant fuck you to everyone who moved, marched, and spoke up about the horrifying things that Blizzard and Activision were doing. Great news, everyone. | ||

Great news, everyone. And, the state of California was in the process of fucking over any possible "victims" by their silly legal over reach. California's DFEH is more interested in scoring big headlines than helping out average workers. Any how , the moral of this story is : don't rely on government bodies to improve your working life. Go out and find other work. Stand up to chance. Bet On Your$elf. Waiting for the state of California to make one's life right is a waste of time, energy, and it diminishes one's self esteem. | ||

If you can't grasp that much, and you'd rather spend your time downplaying what they did, I'd rather spend my time not discussing the matter with you. They weren't just kind of a dick to people, they harassed and abused their employees. meh, I've offered a remedy not post after post of polemics. They should do what Jennifer Gonzalez did and leave. | ||

they're leaving. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/culture/more-blizzard-employees-are-leaving-the-company-due-to-ongoing-crisis Canadian nurses are in a variety of really solid unions. The job sucks....they are getting crushed....they're leaving. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-canadian-nurses-are-leaving-in-droves-worn-down-by-16-merciless-months/ Canadian nurses are leaving their union jobs and going to the USA for better work. https://bloomberg.nursing.utoronto.ca/news/canadas-nurses-continue-to-migrate-to-us-for-full-time-work/ A union is not a silver bullet. Being proficient at finding good work puts one in a much more autonomous position as opposed to relying on some union.

Got a garbage job and are a skilled, talented, hard-working professional? Look for other work. It appears many are leaving for better work elsewhere.

In an interview, Kotick said the deal has nothing to do with the controversy surrounding Activision or calls for him to step down and that Spencer reached out to him last year. A person familiar with the discussions, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said Microsoft looked at Activision’s situation, given all the negative attention and pressure on Kotick, and wondered if the beleaguered CEO would be willing to do a deal. Kotick initially didn’t want to sell, according to another person familiar with the talks, and also put the word out to see if any other company would outbid Microsoft. But at that point, Kotick had little leverage with his board amid the ongoing public scrutiny at his company. Source | ||

But for all the sexual harassment, abuse, discrimination, and rape, I'd agree with your take. But unfortunately that stuff matters to people. | ||

But unfortunately that stuff matters to people. and when the job violates your dignity it qualifies as a job that sucks. Thus, you look for different work. Just like Jennifer Gonzalez did. Just like many employees are currently doing right now. Over 100 construction workers died in Canada in the past 5 years. To them I say... if your construction site is dangerous.... start looking for different work right now. Again, ATVI is not the USSR. You can leave. | ||

No, that qualifies as a situation where heads should roll, companies should get fined, and the people responsible fired. You don't get it. Also please stop invoking Jennifer Gonzales, as though what she did supports your point. She left Blizzard and has since been busting her ass in support of the people still working there, attempting to organize a union. She ain't in your camp. Also your construction metaphor is fucking garbage from top to bottom, and you can continue fucking off if you think there's merit to it. | ||

Nurses and construction workers face far more brutal conditions than the ATVI employees. For those that face the worst of the worst I think their best move is to find different work rather than waiting 3+ years for government agencies like the DFEH or the EEOC to improve things. Tens of millions of people are constantly looking for better/different work. Good on them. Sitting around waiting 3+ years for the DFEH and the EEOC to finally change things is a bad bet. When are these clowns going to stop fighting with each other and start addressing the issues? Its been a long long time.

There is a big exodus from Blizzard. Lots of employees are leaving. Good on them! If everyone keeps leaving Blizzard then Blizzard is forced to increase their salary offers and improve their work environment. | ||
