New lawsuit alleges harassment and retaliation at Activision BlizzardMirroring complaints in previous lawsuits
Mirroring complaints in previous lawsuits
Doe began to dress “more conservatively” to avoid the harassment, says the suit. When she complained about the excessive drinking and sexual advances, the suit alleges that Doe was told that this “was just her leadership being nice and trying to be friends with her.” Jane Doe was also allegedly told to keep the concerns to herself because they could be “damaging” to the company.
The suit says that Doe applied to other open positions in the company and was rejected, but was eventually offered a role in a different department after writing a letter complaining about the harassment to Blizzard’s then-president J. Allen Brack. The new role was of lower status and salary.
More recently, the suit says that Doe applied for an open executive assistant position at the company but her application was rejected after she spoke about her harassment at apress conference in December.
Since these allegations came to light last year, Microsoft have made moves tobuy Activision Blizzard for $69 billion.
