We talk to two employees of Activision Blizzard about the sexual harassment lawsuit, last week's walkout, the current mood of employees, and what changes they hope to see.
last Wednesday to protest leadership’s response and the mistreatment of employees. We talked to two current employees who were at the walkout, one from Blizzard and one from Activision, about the current state of worker morale and what actions the company could take to address their concerns. As per their request, they will remain anonymous.
Paste: You were both at the walkout on Wednesday. Were you nervous about participating? What made it worth it to be there?: I was definitely nervous. But honestly, the people made it so worth it. Everyone there supporting each other, elevating these voices and speaking out against injustices that we see in these companies that we love, speaking out for the people that we love. It was really, really beautiful. And I was invigorated by it. It was stunning.
: That’s the dream, that’s the plan. You know, it’s very hard to say or predict what will and won’t happen. A sentiment that has been spreading throughout the organizers, as well as outside of the organizers of the walkout, is we don’t want this momentum to die. And it’s very important to take this inertia and run with it, I don’t even want to say for as long as we can but indefinitely.
: Absolutely. It’s been honestly incredible to see people outpouring their support to these victims, to these stories that we’re trying to shed light on and trying to elevate, because they happen and it’s an ugly truth. And a lot of people don’t want to recognize it, but because of action like the walkout, people are recognizing it and taking steps to change things in whatever way they can other than their own personal sphere of influence or on a greater level.
