Activision Blizzard, as you’re probably aware, is currently engaged with a series of lawsuits related to the company’s alleged “frat boy culture” and various harassment claims.
Activision Blizzard has also confirmed that HR executive, Jesse Meschuk (who had been at the company for 12 years), also left at the start of August.
The state of California has already accused Activision Blizzard of “withholding” and “suppressing” evidence related to the case, and the worries about this new settlement seem to be re-igniting those worries for the state.
California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing has issued a formal objcetion to the recent settlement publisher and developer Activision Blizzard made with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, with the DFEH noting it could cause “irreparable harm” to its ongoing legal proceedings.
