If the dream job is such as the nightmare that as a private person is a public press conference, in order to finally move the employer to a rethink. So it seems to be in the case of the Blizzard employee Christine, who came on December 9, 2021, via Instagram with her legal guard Lisa Bloom live in front of Cameras and a statement released, that rows in the long series of allegations of sexual subsidies, misogyny, Harassment and discrimination against Blizzard and Activision Blizzard.
Christine has been working for four years and also currently at Blizzard Entertainment; The press conference was kept only a few meters from Blizzard headquarters in California Irvin's. The video can look at Instagram, following a translation of what she says about her four years at Blizzard. We have translated the original transcript of GameInformer.
Sexual rapprochement attempts, unwanted comments, immoral invitations
My name is Christine. For more than four years, I have been working at Blizzard Entertainment, a Department of Activision. I'm still working here. I did not want to be up here, but we have to make great changes in Activision Blizzard. The Work at Blizzard was my dream job. When I first heard all the talented people working with Blizzard, I knew that I wanted to work there and that I could distinguish myself in my career. I was so excited, part of a community to be so much to take care of your employees. Unfortunately, that has not been true for me. Since I am busy with Blizzard, I was exposed to rude remarks about my body, unwanted sexual approach attempts, inappropriate touches, alcoholic tea events and cube Crawls, invitations for casual sex with my superiors and a damaging frat-boy culture for women.
When I complained to my superiors, I was told that she had just made a joke and I should accept. I started to keep away from job events to avoid all the sexual comments and mugs. I was told that I should not contact the HR department. Furthermore, I was told that the harassing men just tried to be friends with me. Furthermore, I was told that she had done nothing wrong after the law. After I had complained about the sexual harassment, I was degraded. Then I was further harassed and relational measures were taken against me. My full profit sharing was denied me, shares were denied in the company and I have received minimal salary increases in the four years in which I am involved in Blizzard.
The fight for my workplace in this toxic work culture has strongly affected my mental health. I am here today because I want to fight for a secure work environment for the employees. Blizzard has some great people who work for them, but we have to feel safe and supported by people in leadership positions, and people have to be responsible for their actions. Thank you to all who are here today and to all who fight for a better blizzard.
Receivables for all employees of Activision Blizzard
The well-known lawyer Lisa Bloom and Christine have chosen this form of publicity to make it clear how important it is that something to the corporate culture of Blizzard and Activision Blizzard changes. We demand a streamlined, fast and fair procedure for victims to regulate their legal rights with an enlarged victim compensation fund, says Bloom. In addition, the potentially furnished pot of 18 to 100 million US dollars should be increased from 18 to $100 million.
Furthermore, Christine demands, like many other victims of the past, an apology. Also, a neutral, third party should investigate the case because the career employee as Christine had damaged, of trying to keep everything to be lowered or even to sweep the table. The statement given a spokesman for Blizzard Entertainment according to the Press Conference of Christine and Bloom against the authors of polygon sounds more like a standard response.
Languagelessness
The thing is: In the beginnings of the claim of the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, Activision-Blizzard spokesman, as among other, Fran Townsend presented that the allegations of employees are arising from time-barred operations.
We do not want to confirm neither the authentic of Christine nor to doubt them, we are unable to include our law restricted knowledge. But when Christine's are true, then nothing is barred at all.
