Blizzard employees plan walkout over company’s handling of discrimination, sexual harassment suit

At least 50 employees from Activision Blizzard plan to join a walkout Wednesday, rallying at the company’s headquarters in Irvine, California to protest the company’s response to a recent discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuit. The suit, filed by the state of California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) against Activision Blizzard on July 20 in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges multiple instances of gender-based discrimination, inequality and harassment throughout Activision Blizzard’s network of companies.
