The walkout follows a report that CEO Bobby Kotick knew about sexual misconduct claims at the company and didn’t inform his board of directors.
“Anyone who doubts my conviction to be the most welcoming, inclusive workplace doesn’t really appreciate how important this is to me,” Kotick said.
A number of Activision Blizzard employees declared on Twitter that they would stop working Tuesday in protest. They advanced several demands, including that Kotick be replaced as CEO and the company undergo a review by a worker-appointed third-party. Those who work from home plan to pause work to join in solidarity with employees who are meeting up at noon Pacific time in front of the Irvine, Calif., campus in a physical walkout.
“We all think Bobby’s not leading like he should be leading,” Gonzalez told The Post in a phone interview last week. “He’s trying to do the minimum possible to get people off his back. I just don’t feel that he’s in touch with game development and having this weird crunch and exploitation of labor in this industry, it’s just not how you make a good product.
