Activision Blizzard Said to have Threatened Employees
Activision Blizzard is dealing with more accusations. Employees allegedly heard threats from the company.
- Individuals employed at Activision Blizzard were alleged to have heard threats from the company;
- Employees were also coerced into following social media policies that were against their rights;
- Activision Blizzard has not addressed these allegations.
A week without an Activision Blizzard scandal is a week lost. So the company decided to give us another dose of controversy and present a perfect example of a toxic workplace.
Employees victimized again
Information on yet another controversy has been shared by prosecutors at the U.S. Labor Council. As it turns out, Activision Blizzard employees allegedly heard threats from the company.
Moreover, they were forced to comply with social media rules that were against their rights.
At the same time, the prosecutors informed that if the company does not agree to a settlement, the National Labor Relations Board (a federal agency that defends the rights of private sector employees) will be forced to file an official complaint.
Activision Blizzard so far has not responded to these accusations. In fact, this is not the first time the company has faced them.
A month ago, similar allegations have appeared. Employees who divulged information about working conditions in the company were supposed to have been met with threats.
Considering all the scandals, it should come as no surprise that recently Activision Blizzard has staffing problems. Apparently, fewer and fewer people want to work in a company with such a reputation.
Raven Software employees are not idle
It is worth noting that the people who remained in the structures of Activision Blizzard, decided to take matters into their own hands. A few days ago the news broke that employees of Raven Software (a studio that is part of the holding company) had formed the first large trade union in the history of the American game industry.
