Blizzard employees plan walkout over company's handling of discrimination, sexual harassment suit

Blizzard employees will halt work, citing the company's statements on the lawsuit and an internal email from Activision Blizzard Chief Compliance Officer Frances Townsend, which had called the lawsuit claims "a distorted and untrue picture of our company." While the workforce is mostly remote during the coronavirus pandemic, at least 50 employees plan to meet at the front of the Blizzard Campus, multiple current employees confirmed to The Washington Post. The walkout will start at 10 a.m. Pacific time, and is estimated to end at 2 p.m.
