This employee letter fails to point out the most disgusting part of the Activision Blizzard response: blaming it on unaccountable state bureaucrats who purportedly are the reason for companies leaving California.
It was like Activision Blizzard was trying to rally Republicans and the Gamergate people to their defense. "It's not our sexist culture! Blame the Democrats running CA into the ground!!"
So people are upset over someone’s wording of a tweet. But at the same time are not interested in the fact that things have slowed down at the Company. And it’s due to internal turmoil thanks to the mismanagement of cases of sexual harassment, which would obviously detrimentally affect employee welfare and morale. But yeah, let’s dissect his words. Man, if empathy was a minimum system requirement to play video games, so many people would be screwed.
It worked though. I’m sure the tolk showing a lack of empathy probably told people speaking up during Gamergate to ‘get over it’.
Not what he said at all you didn't even read it. He never said they wern't working on any content or that there will be any dlays. What he did say was that anyone who responds to the lawsuit news by complaining about how long the nect patch could be delayed are idiots who value the games over human decency. That is a part of the problem.

Exactly. Also, people have twisted his words into him claiming they aren't working on content and things are delayed even though he clearly said neither.
Right. That looks poorly on you because they would start to ask themselves if you were contributing to that toxic environment and also could be looked at as you trying to absolve yourself of anything that happened.

Yo continue to prove him right. Nothing has been proben and nothing that has been alleged comes anywhere close to rape. And calling the company rapists is flat out absurd because the company never raped anyone. Calling someone an apologist is further of of what he said too.
As someone who works with rapevictims I can say that violence-fantasies or in worst case when people act on them don't help in the slightest.
Not hard at all.
You don't need to be an intellectual beast to come up with a story on how you really enjoyed working there and value any experience you got there but are now looking to further your horizons by exploring a career in a company that's not so far along the "corporate" path, thus allowing you more self-fulfillment and engagement.
Anyone else not give a fuck and think this will all go away in a couple weeks?
Nice to know you and your self interest is all that matters and who cares that people were harrassed and harmed right? Your addiction is more important. I hope nobody in your family goes through it because I'm sure your response would be: "I don;'t care you were sexually harrassed and violated. Shut up and fix me my hot pockets. I'm hungry.".
He is referring to the people who whine about contents being dry and lack of contents in without thinking of the current circumstances (covid-19 + the lawsuit and the people who lost their jobs and died from suicide stuff).
Imagine you are in a funeral and the one who died is a dear family member then you have your apartment manager visiting you there in the funeral telling you "hey when will you pay for your rent? I want my money"
What will be your reaction? you will be at least super disgusted by that guy because the god damn timing is super bad and he didn't respect or pay attention to the circumstances.
