Activision Blizzard hat mittlerweile die folgende eigene Stellungnahme zu dieser Einigung erzielt. In diesem Schreiben betont die Firma deutlich, dass kein Urteil gef\u00e4llt wurde und sie sich keiner Schuld bewusst sind. Gleichzeitig streitet man weiterhin alle Probleme bei der Firma ab, weil es dort angeblich nie zu Missbrauch, Sexismus und Diskriminierung gekommen ist. Wie \u00fcblich muss man sich dann aber nat\u00fcrlich die Frage stellen, warum die Firma \u00fcberhaupt $54,875,000<\/span> zahlt und nicht einfach vor Gericht gezogen ist.

We are gratified that we have reached an agreement with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) today, as the CRD has now announced in a press statement. We appreciate the importance of the issues addressed in this agreement and we are dedicated to fully implementing all the new obligations we have assumed as part of it. We want our employees to know that, as the agreement specifies, we are committed to ensuring fair compensation and promotion policies and practices for all our employees, and we will continue our efforts regarding inclusion of qualified candidates from underrepresented communities in outreach, recruitment, and retention.<\/p>\n

We are also gratified that the CRD has agreed to file an amended complaint that entirely withdraws its 2021 claims alleging widespread and systemic workplace harassment at Activision Blizzard. As the CRD acknowledged explicitly in the agreement, \u201cCRD is filing along with a Proposed Consent Decree a Second Amended Complaint that withdraws, among other allegations and causes of action, the Fifth Cause of Action \u2013 \u201cEmployment Discrimination \u2013 Because of Sex \u2013 Harassment.\u201d As the CRD also expressly acknowledged in the agreement, \u201cno court or independent investigation has substantiated any allegations that there has been systemic or widespread sexual harassment at Activision Blizzard.\u201d In addition, the CRD has acknowledged that no court or independent investigation substantiated any allegations that \u201cActivision Blizzard\u2019s Board of Directors, including its Chief Executive Officer, Robert Kotick, acted improperly with regard to the handling of any instances of workplace misconduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
