A report has detailed instances of sexual harassment at Nintendo of America, and a working environment where some women – particularly contract employees without full-time employment – felt pressured into silence.
Back in May, Nintendo of America boss Doug Bowser labelled reports into how the company differentiated between full-time and contract staff in terms of benefits and inclusion as “troubling”.
Bowser’s predecessor, Reggie Fils-Aimé, distanced himself from the matter, and claimed the issues raised did not reflect the Nintendo which he left.
Now, women who worked as contract employees have come forward to discuss some of the issues they faced in particular, such as instances of sexual harassment and unequal pay.
