US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began an investigation of how Activision Blizzard responded to accusations of harassment and discrimination of her employees.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the SEC requested certain documents from the company. Among them are different communications (apparently, correspondence and calls) the general director Bobby Cat (Bobby Kotick) with other senior managers about complaints.
In addition Cat And some bosses Activision Blizzard received summons to the court.
SEC also requires personal files of six former employees, minutes of meetings of the board of directors over the past two years and agreements on the dismissal of employees who left the company in 2021.
Representative Activision Blizzard He said that the company is cooperating with the SEC:
We have made and make a number of important changes to improve our policy and procedures. We must guarantee that in our company there will be no place for discrimination, harassment or unequal handling of any kind with employees.
In addition, SEC is trying to find out if it was obliged to Activision Blizzard inform investors about the investigation of the DFEH California Department before it was released.

The best comments
Well, yes, there have never been court scandals, unjust accusations when a dud after a dude, after 20 years, apologized that the mistake came out, there is also no corruption there, as it simply, just to the place of the place, instead of fulfilling their duties-personal ambitions persecute
Do not understand me wrong, in Europe and the USA, the judicial system and law enforcement agencies are really better than in our latitudes, and corruption looks different there, but to calculate that the judges are purely impartial, and exclusively high -class professionals are working not pragmatic and quite naive, people with their vices are sitting everywhere in the soot
Actually, there are a lot of scandals on the same thing about the same thing about the fact that they create problems not for those companies where violations are identified, but those that are not beneficial to the state. That in general, the situation is not much different with us
Bobby Kotik fell under the fire
All caliber fire! Seriously, apparently, this is the only chance to remove this effective manager from the post, otherwise in (relatively) recently under his leadership Activision has become worse than EA. And even if you do not care how rotten the statements of the allegedly affected side look like – it is better than in any way.
how rotten the statements of the allegedly affected side look like
I don’t know what accusations you are https://moneyslotsonline.co.uk/ talking about, but in the lawsuit from the state of California – everything is quite serious. So serious that Activision-Blizzard began to destroy evidence.
The only chance to remove this effective manager from fasting
Given that Activision-Blizzard, so as not to pay taxes created a tax hole in Barbados. In the end, in 2019, they were forced to pay increased taxes for the period 2008-2018, but it still does not even close all their fraud. So that the interest of SEC in the case is quite logical.
The most polar reaction? From the states that allowed anarchist zones without the police, to the states where they called the National Guard and dispersed protests. This is not a Russian Federation where there is one official position, there is each state – it has its own. If we are talking about the reaction of the president, Trump called them terrorists and called for calling the army to disperse them and arrest them.
Bratan, you are too optimistic about the state state organs)
It is unlikely that the SEC is concerned about all sorts of chorassic and other Fem movements. Most likely SEC is interested in financial transactions.
Apparently some of the employees who were very offended by Activision sent some part of the information to the SEC.
And this was already the reason for the test.
It is expected to increase the cost of the company’s products
The change will be for the better for employees for sure, but whether it will remain by the company? Everything went too seriously, it feels like a beautiful stone – even, strict, reliable and was always the same as you remember. But as soon as you turn it over, you will see the side of the teeming worms, beetles and humus. It seems that everything is the same stone that pleased, but having learned that side, the attitude changes and will not be the same. This is a monstrous reputation blow, bomb explosion level. And the reputation of Metelitsa has always been in the first place.
All this is very sad, I hope how you are the best.
the American political system also has a place to populism and politicians
Without this, politics is, in principle, it is impossible. Real elections, this is the struggle based on popularity, which is built, including at populism and deception. If people voted for politicians, neither Trump nor Biden would never even come out of the primaries. This is not to mention the squeak inside the political parties themselves.
When all this began, thoughts like “they suffer, it would be better to work more on the game”, and now I think, but what if work on the game was so suffering that they had a terrible atmosphere in the team? Suddenly, they will make changes now and in addition to replacing the paintings with fruit will be more significant and good changes?)
Something I can’t even believe that all this is due to harassment. More likely that someone really wants to turn the activist to the wrong side. And either the company has been guilty of something much more than discrimination, or someone sharpens the tooth on the cat and KO and is ready to lower all the dogs on them for personal benefit.
But this is so, for lovers to see the theories of conspiracies everywhere.))
The investigation will be conducted scrupulously and not for the engagement.
This is optimism.
So, in any, even a very good person, there is shit, any pathologist will confirm.
I already honestly want an activist to cause some kind of weighty damage, or remove the cat from the post, but it brings just incredible profit, but those 2 hacks that come out, or rather one came out, Black OPS Cold Var, the Uninocabula campaign, the multiplayer causes complaints in some things, but as I know, it has problems with productivity, I also have it on PS5 very often flew out, but I am generally silent about RTX. The only technical innovation that I noticed is that my game Rendonomo drops up to 15 FPS. And it’s too early to talk about Vangurad, but the bets of the multiplayer made it clear to me that I, albeit in a very small perspective, worry only the Sing, and I will take (and that is not a fact) by the discount at the end of the year, if it is really worthy, but knowing the past game WW2, I will honor the motivation that will be very dubious. And with regards Vanguard, well, I can generally say one of the Multi problem (and there are many more there), in the game you can equip a perk that increases the headbox of the head.
Well, the last 2 games, as I know, are done in agony, that is, they cannot in the production plan in the form of 3 years of development. Although all sorts of non -foresighted circumstances were introduced there.
Attempts to hush up the question with strikes and riots in pre -trial order
Only Activision-Blizzard is cutting out the issue, destroying the evidence and hiring the yur of firms that break the trade unions. Whether employees will have a way or not – it will not affect the court, because they did not exhibit the lawsuit, but the state of California. They actually started to exhibit and the requirements, after there were several official answers from the top managers – “they say everything is fine with us, believe me, I work in the company for 4 months, I know."Plus, it seems to me that workers know better than us, do they have reasons to put forward conditions for management or not.
They are not politicians and populists, they are guided by laws, and there everything is strictly with this.
There is a working judicial system, but you are not the best understanding of how it works. The recent law on abortion in Texas – violates both laws and previous decisions on such courts. And the only reason why he was able to shove him, this is because people who praised him are politicians and populists.
Until people begin to judge artificial intelligence (what I strongly doubt) the court cannot be impartial in principle, since people are people.
But as soon as you turn it over, you will see the side of the teeming worms, beetles and humus. It seems that everything is the same stone that pleased, but having learned that side, the attitude changes and will not be the same.
If you use this metaphor, near the "stone" near the nearby had long been dropped. I remember at least one former employee who said that with the release of Wow, Bluezi began to change and not for the better.
Perhaps, for the general public, little familiar with the industry, Blizzard still retained their reputation as the legend, but those who soberly looked at the situation, after Starcraft II and Diablo 3, became clear that "not the same" is not the same ".
Well, how can I say, their actions feel bad enough already like six months, and this scandal does not help
Bobby Kotik fell under the fire
Well, how are you there? Hold on? Don’t worry, everything will be ok)
Look for a story about the development of Diablo 3: when it began, who was engaged in it, how much they did it. Those who made the Great Blizard are also involved in this.
In general, to build the founding fathers into the rank of celestials, who with their eyes turn shit into gold, does not at all make them so. They are just the founding fathers-and that’s it.
