Activision Blizzard said it hired a law firm to investigate complaints of sexual harassment in the workplace, hours before a planned employee walkout
Activision Blizzard Inc. late Tuesday said it had hired a law firm to investigate complaints of sexual harassment in the workplace, hours before a planned employee walkout over the company’s reaction to“Our initial responses to the issues we face together, and to your concerns, were, quite frankly, tone deaf,” Chief Executive Officer Bobby Kotick said in a statement.
Activision is fighting the charges. It previously said the lawsuit includes distorted, and in many cases false, descriptions of its past. The company said it strives to pay all employees fairly. More than 3,000 current and former employees digitally signed a letter to leaders of Activision that was viewed by The Wall Street Journal in which they called the company’s response to the lawsuit “abhorrent and insulting.” The letter also called for immediate action “from the highest level of our organization.”
