Video game maker Activision sued over "frat boy" work culture that tormented women
CBSN
Activision Blizzard, maker of World of Warcraft, Call of Duty and other popular video games, has a "frat boy" workplace culture in which male employees could "banter about their sexual encounters, talk openly about female bodies and joke about rape," according to a lawsuit filed by California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH)
For that reason and others, the state agency is suing Activision Blizzard, accusing the video game maker of gender pay discrimination and of allowing sexual harassment incidents to go unresolved. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, follows a two-year DFEH investigation into Activision's workplace culture that found evidence of women being subjected to sexual harassment including groping and unwanted advances, as well as pay inequities for women throughout the company, state officials said this week.
