Activision Blizzard is being sued by California over its 'frat boy' like culture, with numerous allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination.
alleges that women in the workplace are faced with constant sexual harassment, unequal pay and retaliation.
According to the agency’s complaint, women in the workplace were also often faced with sexual harassment and discrimination, dealing with constant sexual comments and advances by male workers and supervisors, as well as being groped during company events or “cube crawls.” The male employees would also play videogames while delegating their work to female employees, discuss their sexual encounters, talk about female bodies and joke about rape, the lawsuit says.
Female employees also faced discrimination in terms of payment and job opportunities, with the complaint alleging that Activision Blizzard offered women “lower compensation and less lucrative job assignments and opportunities than their male counterparts.” Women also received less stock and have to work longer and harder for a promotion compared to the male employees, the complaint says.
