Activision Blizzard employees plan to walk out following the company’s response to a lawsuit alleging widespread sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace. In their statement, Activision condemned sexual harassment but downplayed the allegations in the lawsuit. The walkout organizers are demanding an end to mandatory arbitration clauses, policies to improve DEI, published compensation and promotion data, and a third party audit of the company. Activision’s CEO emailed employees apologizing for the company's reaction and announced steps they are taking to ensure the company has “the most welcoming, comfortable, and safe culture possible.”
