Activision’s internal investigation finds no “systemic issue” with harassment | Ars Technica

Last November, The Wall Street Journal published a damning report alleging that Activision CEO Bobby Kotick withheld information about harassment allegations from his board of directors. The report also suggested that Activision executives failed to act decisively to address the kind of widespread complaints contained in a California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) lawsuit filed last July.
In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Thursday, Activision’s board of directors said the company has concluded its own thorough investigation of those claims, which it says shows that “we are not a company that looks the other way.”

After consulting with external advisers, talking with employees, and reviewing contemporaneous notes, Activision writes “that there is no evidence to suggest that Activision Blizzard senior executives ever intentionally ignored or attempted to downplay the instances of gender harassment that occurred and were reported.” The company’s board of directors also didn’t withhold any information from the company, Activision writes.

We are writing to provide you with an update on the work that the Board and its Workplace Responsibility Committee of independent directors have been doing related to our workplace. The allegations in media and legal filings about our company were as distressing to us as they were to all of you. The Board resolved that we would dig into these issues directly, go where the facts took us, and that our work would be supplemented and informed by independent investigation and analysis conducted with the assistance of well respected, experienced outside experts with deep subject matter expertise.

Sous les projecteurs des médias pour une culture toxique et des tentatives de dissimulation des plaintes par la direction des ressources humaines, Activision publie les conclusions des enquêtes interne et externe : il n’y a rien à voir, tout va bien.

L’Esport à l’Elysée – Solidaires Informatique
▻https://solidairesinformatique.org/2022/06/13/lesport-a-lelysee

Vendredi 3 Juin, un évènement a rassemblé certains des acteurs les plus connus de l’esport français à l’Elysée autour d’Emmanuel Macron, pour un grand selfie célébrant la beauté du secteur en France. C’est un sacré coup de com’ à une semaine des législatives, mais un coup de com’ qui cache des jeux d’influence violents. Ainsi, ZeratoR, grande figure du milieu, raconte avoir subi de fortes pressions, devant finalement annuler la répétition de la Trackmania Cup pour être présent. On a donc mis en péril l’un des grands moments du milieu qu’on est censé célébrer.

[…]

Ainsi, on retrouve sans surprise dans la clique du SNJV menée par Julien Villedieu, Guillaume de Fondaumière – dont l’entreprise Quantic Dream avait fait les gros titres du Monde, de Canard PC et de Mediapart, qui dénonçaient une ambiance toxique, des photomontages racistes et sexistes et du crunch violent. Ces dénonciations ont abouti sur une série de procés, dans lesquels Quantic a déjà été condamnée.
Également présent, Florent Castelnerac, directeur d’Ubisoft Nadeo. L’année dernière, d’anciens employés racontaient à Numerama qu’il n’hésitait pas à lyncher publiquement certains employé-es, leur hurlant dessus pendant 20 minutes au vu et au su de toustes.
Ce type d’évènements permet de créer des ponts avec le milieu politique, ce qui facilite l’existence et l’attribution de fonds publics (subventions, crédits d’impôts, etc.) dont le patronat du jeu vidéo est si gourmand. (Cf. ▻https://rb.gy/ktthzu)

Interpelé sur Twitter, le représentant du syndicat patronal SNJV offre une réponse pour le moins saugrenue qui met en lumière l’absence de dialogue entre patrons et salariés dans l’industrie du jeu vidéo :

Activision Blizzard will begin “good faith negotiations” with the Raven Software workers who unionized with help from media union Communications Workers of America (CWA) to strike up a collective bargaining agreement.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has led to extensive crunch at development studio TT Games - Polygon

late 2017, development studio TT Games began work on Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga at a time when dozens inside the company were at odds with management. Citing frustration over tight development schedules, the company’s crunch culture, and outdated development tools, more than 20 current and former TT Games employees tell Polygon that calls for change over the years had largely been ignored.

More TT Games Employees Speak Out After Skywalker Saga Report

In late January, roughly 30 current and former TT Games employees spoke anonymously to Polygon (and myself) about the culture of crunch and mismanagement at both its Knutsford and Wilmslow offices. The final report highlighted instances of premeditated crunch, mishandled projects, and allegations of sexual harassment that occurred under the company’s former management, in addition to complaints of micro-management under the new leadership that had arrived from Sony. Former employees claimed these factors were responsible for a large turnover of staff over the last few years, with at least forty people leaving the two studios since the beginning of 2021, though that number has since grown considerably.

Sheryl Sandberg allegedly leant on Daily Mail news site to drop stories about ex-boyfriend | Sheryl Sandberg | The Guardian
▻https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/apr/21/sheryl-sandberg-meta-daily-mail-bobby-kotick-activision

Sheryl Sandberg, the Meta executive, allegedly pressured the Daily Mail to drop unflattering stories about her then-boyfriend Bobby Kotick, the Activision Blizzard CEO, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.

The Journal reports that she persuaded the digital edition of the Mail not to run stories revealing that an ex-girlfriend of Kotick had obtained a temporary restraining order against him in 2014. Kotick reportedly said that Sandberg, who he dated for three years until 2019, told the Mail in 2016 that if the article were published, it could damage the outlet’s relationship with Facebook. Sandberg allegedly contacted the Daily Mail in 2016 and 2019 to put a stop to the articles, and both times the stories never ran.

According to the Wall Street Journal’s reporting, Meta and Activision employees were involved in Sandberg’s effort to kill the story, as well as outside advisers.

Le patron d’Activision-Blizzard-King serait empêtré dans une nouvelle affaire de harcèlement. À titre personnel, il avait déjà été accusé d’avoir menacé de mort une hôtesse à bord de son avion personnel. Et il est indirectement mis en cause d’avoir laissé une culture toxique se développer à Activision-Blizzard, au coeur d’un scandale de culture toxique au sein du groupe que les ressources-humaines auraient fait taire, au lieu d’y faire face.

Microsoft says it will respect outcome of Activision Blizzard union drive - The Washington Post
▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/03/24/microsoft-activision-union-statement

Microsoft “will not stand in the way” if Activision Blizzard recognizes a union, said the company’s corporate vice president and general counsel, Lisa Tanzi, in a statement to The Washington Post on Thursday.

“Microsoft respects Activision Blizzard employees’ right to choose whether to be represented by a labor organization and we will honor those decisions,” Tanzi said.

In January, Microsoft announced plans to acquire Activision Blizzard, the embattled video game publisher and developer, for nearly $69 billion in an all-cash deal. Fifteen workers at Raven Software, a studio owned by Activision Blizzard, signed a letter Wednesday calling for Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to encourage Activision Blizzard to voluntarily recognize their union, the Game Workers Alliance. Microsoft vice chair and president Brad Smith was copied on the letter.

Activision Blizzard, which is already embroiled in multiple lawsuits from former and current employees detailing sexual harassment, discrimination against women and other marginalized groups, and more, has been hit with another lawsuit.

Activision Blizzard is facing a new sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit | VGC
▻https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/activision-blizzard-is-facing-a-new-sexual-harassment-and-discr

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/files/2019/04/activision-blizzard-hq.jpg

Attorney Lisa Bloom filed the suit in the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday on behalf of a current employee referred to as ‘Jane Doe’, Bloomberg Law reports.

“For years, Activision Blizzard’s open ‘frat boy’ environment fostered rampant sexism, harassment and discrimination with 700 reported incidents occurring under CEO Robert Kotick’s watch,” the lawsuit reads.

Doe, who joined the company in 2017 as a senior administrative assistant in the IT department, claims she was regularly pressured to drink alcohol and participate in lewd games.

She also says female employees were regularly subjected to sexual comments and groping by male colleagues during alcohol-fuelled ‘cube crawls’ around the office.

Doe alleges that complaints about excessive drinking and sexual advances made by her supervisors were explained away as “leadership being nice and trying to be friends with her”.

She also claims to have been told not to air her concerns due to the reputational damage it could have on the company.

Having failed in multiple attempts to escape to a new job in a different department, Doe says she was eventually offered another role with a lower status and a significant salary decrease, after complaining directly to ex-Blizzard president J. Allen Brack.

Gaming fans know Moon Studios for its amazing Ori games with beautiful art and emotional stories. But a number of current and former employees consider the Ori studio an oppressive place to work. That is according to GamesBeat’s interviews with Moon developers.

I worked at Moon Studios for two years. I was the only woman on the story team. I struggle to find the words to express what a soul-destroying experience it was to work with the heads of the studio, Thomas and Gennadiy.

The whole studio is built on the lie that Quality justifies everything. Verbal abuse. Crunch. Public humiliation. But it just wears you down, and burns you out. Burnt out people do not produce quality.

Anything good that you had made before they had killed your creative spark was used to lure new, unwitting devs in, to fill the places of the friends you watched leave, one by one.

Please, don’t be fooled. Don’t perpetuate the problem by working for places like Moon. We have to stop the defeatist mentality that this is just what the industry is like. There are better places out there. You deserve better.

Activision Blizzard did not respond to workers’ request for recognition of a union formed by quality assurance testers at Raven Software, the workers said Tuesday evening. Last week, 34 quality assurance workers seeking to unionize at Raven had set a deadline of 6 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday for a response from the software developer’s parent company and will now proceed to file for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing has issued a formal objection to the recent settlement publisher and developer Activision Blizzard made with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, with the DFEH noting it could cause “irreparable harm” to its ongoing legal proceedings.

L’accord de $18 M annoncé récemment pour clore les accusations d’agressions sexuelles, discriminations, ou encore de viol de la part de certains employés d’Activision Blizzard ne suffira peut-être pas à calmer les autorités judiciaires qui souhaitent poursuivre leurs investigations.

Activision-Blizzard is working with a union-busting firm, “Wilmerhale” - the same one that Amazon is using.

Il apparaît que le cabinet d’avocats Wilmerhale choisi par Activision-Blizzard pour gérer en interne auprès des salariés les accusations de harcèlement et de discrimination en réponse au récent procès à son encontre a notamment pour spécialité la lutte contre le syndicalisme, empêchant la création de cellules syndicales au sein d’entreprises clientes.

Some of you may remember that Ubisoft was recently rocked by accusations of sexual misconduct, harassment and assault, and rape against female staff members within the company. While several figureheads accused of these crimes are no longer with the company, they were allowed to resign, get a payout and keep other bonuses. The sad reality is that Ubisoft higher-ups like Yves Guillemot didn’t and still don’t care about the victims of the culture they managed and covered up. It seems the staff have realised this, mentioning it during a letter of solidarity; close to 500 of them have written in support of Activision Blizzard staff that have also been victims of a culture of rampant sexual discrimination, harassment and assault.

Between multiple series of layoffs, the California State lawsuit, and this case, it’s becoming more and more clear that the issue of toxicity in Activision Blizzard’s company culture is one that touches everything the company does. On Wednesday, July 28[, 2021], Activision Blizzard employees are holding a walkout to protest company leadership’s response to the California State lawsuit. According to both Bloomberg and IGN, the company is offering paid time off to employees who participate.

Selon nos informations, une première action en justice devrait être déclenchée ces prochains jours, concernant des faits de harcèlement et de manquements dans leur gestion par le groupe fondé et présidé par le morbihannais Yves Guillemot.
