What I got from the Kotaku article was that the real problems were Holt and Schlosser and Strain had good intentions but was just too burnt out and not able to handle the level of scale the company had grown to

I worked with Phil Holt at Arenanet and largely had good experiences working with him. He was involved in our Diversity and Inclusivity SIG and was just about the only member of the c-suite there that I had any faith in. He always struck me as a guy who was really, truly interested in doing what's best for whatever studio he worked for. That being said, it's disappointing to hear that he bungled the management of Undead Labs after Jeff left, though my own experiences with UDL makes me think the studio was rancid from the start. Was a pretty big red flag when I interviewed there after the Anet layoffs and one of my interviewers grilled me on the purpose of me participating in the aforementioned DEI SIG.

A good reminder of all the people who pretended to be outraged over what was going on at Activision-Blizzard even though they'd clearly enabled the culture for over a decade.

An example is that a former attorney general will never suffer for work, any major company would be happy to pay out the nose to have an insider able to help them out.

Activision did not respond to a request for comment from Wasserman.

Politicians are also just ludicrously easy to bribe, especially when they don't actually want to do good things in the first place.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Politicians are also just ludicrously easy to bribe, especially when they don't actually want to do good things in the first place. For most of them the choice is "I can accept this sack of money in exchange for being told to look the other way and not do poo poo or occasionally put my finger on the scale a little bit" or "I can watch them hand that sack of money to one of my opponents and possibly push public opinion against me in other ways". Unfortunately, very few are willing to stand on principle and ethics in that scenario. Newsom in particular is a notorious corporate sock puppet who will do pretty much anything a sufficiently wealthy corporation tells him to(see his response to Disney during the pandemic, for reference), and California is hosed because even if you manage to avoid a republican governor, the state democratic establishment is riddled with people just like him.

California is actively hostile to small businesses and does everything it can to stomp them out in favor or the large corps. Nothing shocks me anymore

Yeah, I 100% absolutely believe that NoA might have done a naughty regarding unions - because it's a safe bet that every single large company is doing naughties regarding unions - but there's nothing there of substance right now.

Yeah the article's super light and no companies are providing comment. The complaint is linked to from the article, but it's not much other than the main bulletpoints.quote:8(a)(3) Discharge (Including Layoff and Refusal to Hire (not salting))
