The only failure of leadership on his part was allowing this woke culture to grow in Blizzard. Probably unavoidable outside of moving it out of California. You all talk a lot of shit about Kotick but you don't have receipts for any of it.
Did you not read the WSJ report on how he knew about allegations of women being pressured to overconsume alcohol at company events and multiple allegations of rape that he ignored? The WSJ isn't exactly a woke news organization.
So....
Nothing?
I was actually expecting to be put in my place with clear info about this story that I know little about but looks like I was right all along.
Anyone got an actual concrete thing here?
Otherwise I'll continue to ignore it like other social media "news".
The WSJ isn't social media , if you want to bury your head in the sand or insist on being spoonfed information because you're too lazy to keep up on what the topic is even about, maybe just sit the next one out. Or, what would most likely happen if I acquiesce to your laziness, you'd just go "so what's the big deal about that?" and it's just a waste of everyone's time because you've already made up your mind.
Where's the substance?
Take the whole "Cosby suite" thing. It was a joke. Literally.
Laddish? Sure. Bad taste? Definitely. But so fucking what? That function of the thing as a party area was to party in it. And we all know that means standards of behaviour and decorum are loosened!
You want to go to a party where people announce their pronouns, talk sensibly, and drink moderately?
Yet apparently, we're supposed to believe that because it wasn't like that it was the 2nd coming of Sodom and Gomorrah! That it was some sort of shame on the entire company?
What. The. Fuck!
Just stop and question the narrative.
Maybe you should question the narrative that there's never any "there" there. There are actual shitbags out there letting other shitbags get away with shitbag behavior. There's a lot of room between woke social media mobs going after someone for using the wrong pronoun and credible journalism showing a pattern of abusive, possibly illegal workplace conditions that were repeatedly ignored by management. And as the CEO, especially one who apparently was made aware of this stuff with receipts in the form of e-mails and subsequently did nothing, Bobby's responsible. Do you really think he'd be taking that huge symbolic pay cut and showing he's open to leaving if he didn't think his head would be on a pike soon? He knew he was out before the WSJ report showing his complicity dropped. He's done and, in this case, rightfully so. Just because you can't distinguish between a social media mob going after someone for some nonsense and a legitimate failure of leadership allowing untoward behavior to continue doesn't mean the rest of us can't.
