Activision Blizzard, Inc. (ATVI) Accused of Sexual Harassment Against Female Employees
Activision Blizzard discriminated against women and minority employees and fostered a pervasive “frat boy” workplace culture that continues to thrive. Numerous complaints about unlawful harassment, discrimination, and retaliation to human resources personnel and executives went unaddressed. As a result, the Company was at a greater risk of regulatory and legal scrutiny and enforcement. In fact, the California Department of Fair Employee and Housing (DFEH) had been investigating Activision Blizzard for harassment and discrimination. However, the Company failed to inform shareholders and the public of the investigation, rendering defendants’ statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects materially false and misleading.
Since disclosure of the DFEH’s findings, nearly 1,000 current and former Activision employees have signed a letter calling the Company’s responses to the lawsuit “abhorrent and insulting” and even staged a walkout. Dozens of current and former employees have come out on social media to share their own allegations of discrimination. Additionally, several gaming outlets have halted coverage of any games released by the Company.
