Considering the mindset that seems to have been prevalent at Blizzard, that's highly possible. But the wording of the answer doesn't talk about such cases, and seems to just focus on the typical "woke" buzzwords.
My gut feeling is that of political hijacking, and I've become really, really allergic to this shit.
I guess it takes dedication to virtue signal so hard.
I'm pretty sure people enjoy more the company of those who can have a laugh than preachy "better-then-you" with a stick in their ass, but whatever can scratch that itch to make you think you're superior I guess.Hey but if joking about dead babies and rape make you happy, more power to you. Won't win you may friends I suspect.
This is off-topic so I'll make this short: There are a couple of states that cover exempt employees under their overtime laws. Usually there are some conditions attached to that. Federal law, which most states follow, does not provide a requirement for overtime for exempt employees.
Blizzard, being in California, does not have to pay salaried workers overtime. If they did I'm sure the entire industry would move and incorporate elsewhere in a heartbeat.
"...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
Like everyone's favourite dickhead Elon Musk did.
It's a fair question, though? Every industry has different benchmarks. I work in finance. If I said to my boss, 'mate, I ain't working on this deal worth XYZ to the company because my hours are up' he'd laugh me out the building. And every company would do the same. So food for thought.

Again, only my part cause editing on a phone is a pain!
Yes that is my logic, no one speaks for anyone in this forum. The same way you can’t put words in people’s mouths so that your anecdotal evidence is more important than actual evidence (hint, it’s not). The person you quoted stated a very well known fact (https://towardsdatascience.com/is-th...c-6051dff3a041). You can easily ignore what I say, this a discussion forum. It’s your choice to have a discussion or throw accusations with nothing to back them except your feelings.
Ok. Some men speak about tits and ass. Some women speak about dicks. Some gay men talk about dicks, some lesbian women talk about tits. Some bi-people talk about both. Some non-binary and trans people also talk about both.
Is that better? Because I'm pretty sure you and everyone else very much understood what I meant with my first post, except you still decided to go down that route.
To those who are crying out for everyone tenuously linked to be cancelled - stop it. Sure, if anyone actually carried out a sexual assault then go after them, but for "banter" in a facebook group or some lame tweets - get a life.
Stop trying to punish people for having a life and work buddies just because you don't.
I don't believe everything is explained away by gender discrimination either. BUT, it does exist.This doesn’t mean that gender discrimination doesn’t exist. Our analysis just shows that, at the aggregate level, most of the gap is not explained by gender discrimination.
Like I said, try taking that attitude in finance for example, and see how that roles out for you.
Work life balance is absolutely a focus, but not in the hard and fast way you try and paint it. If there's work to do, there's work to do.
For context, I didn't come after you. I see what you're saying. But that aside, the bigger issue at hand is that talking about it amongst your own gender does not create a permission structure for the opposite sex to discuss it openly. It's a simple case of boundaries. Someone's wife for example can find the comfort to discuss their menstrual cycle with their husband, but that doesn't mean they're going to fly out the door and chat about it with their male colleague. It's not rocket science. So factor that into the notion of 'everyone talks about something'. Yes, but not to EVERYONE.
Equality is great. Attacking competency hierarchy is bad idea.
