Activision Blizzard: More than 20 employees for sexism

Activision Blizzard, Inc. is an American computer game holding company based in Santa Monica, California. The company was founded in July 2008 through the merger of Activision, Inc. (the publicly traded parent company of Activision Posting) and also Vivendi Games. The company is traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the ticker icon ATVI, and also considering that 2015 has actually been among the stocks that compose the S&P 500. Activision Blizzard presently includes five service systems: Activision Posting, Blizzard Home Entertainment, King, Big League Video Gaming, and also Activision Blizzard Studios.The company possesses and operates extra workshops under an independent workshops design under Activision Posting, consisting of Treyarch, Infinity Ward, High Moon Studios, and also Toys for Bob. Among major copyrights created by Activision Blizzard are Telephone Call of Obligation, Crash Bandicoot, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk s, Spyro/Skylanders, Globe of Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, and Candy Squash Saga. Activision Blizzard s titles have actually damaged a variety of launch records. As of March 2018, it is the largest video game company in the Americas and Europe in terms of revenue as well as market capitalization.

The sexism lawsuit changed a lot at Activision Blizzard. Internally and externally, the publisher tries to rebuild its image, as sponsors have jumped forward as a result of the action. Also important shareholders demanded more changes in the company.

What has happened within the company since the indictment will only be revealed brittle. So far, the external changes were much more visible. Especially in World of Warcraft many transhobe and sexual references were removed. Overwatch also met the change measures. There, the character of McCree is renamed because his namesake is entangled in the indictment.

It has so far been unclear what Activision Blizzard has undertaken in relation to your employees outside your games. On the company website there is now a longer statement of Vice President for Corporate Affairs Fran Townsend:

Activision-Blizzard Just Had A Major Victory... It does not matter what rank you have or what job you have to practice. If you have made a kind of misconduct or are a manager who has tolerated a culture that does not match our values, we will take action.

According to their information, 20 employees have been released so far and that against more than 20 people were imposed on other types of disciplinary measures . What exact measures that are and who was fired exactly, but they did not do further.

In addition, in the opinion at the Blizzard website Activision, it also provided more information on how to continue with the company. The company wants to better protect employees from harassment and abuse in the future.

The company s ethics and compliance team should be expanded by three other places - with another 19 posts in the future - in the effort to make Activision Blizzard a more responsible workplace . In addition, Activision Blizzard plans to triple his training resources.

So far, Townsend did not consider as a leit character for the protection of employees. Because she is the same person who has made very unpopular at the beginning of the lawsuit. In an e-mail directed to employees and employees of Activision Blizzard, she named the investigation of the California Department of Fair Employment and Housings Investigation as unfounded , whereupon the employees on work-breaking up. She also was forced to delete her Twitter account after she demonstrated the charges there and closed employees and journalists.

VfL Bochum: What Bella Kotchap has to learn as soon as possible

A spasm in the calf stopped the youngster at the 1: 3 defeat against the Berliner, but on Tuesday, the U-21 international played the training session together with the colleagues at Castroper Straße. The first four Bundesliga games were not just as desired for the 19-year-old; Now the curing test is waiting for the Bavarians, but without his ancestral partner Maxim Leitsch, which can not play for muscular problems in Munich yet. So it stays with the center-defender duo Bella Kotchap and Vasilios Lampropoulos. A true cure test for the newcomer and especially for the defensive department, and here, too, Thomas rice sets a quick learning effect. Rice roared Bochum naivety Overall, his team had to be green at the first home defeat in some situations, too naive, rice is rightly. This is especially true for Bella Kotchap, who would have been able to clarify the second goal with a long stroke, and wanted to fall into the fight at the third goal, though he was already struck and was not rea

The definitive cosplay of Marge Simpson amazes with a impossible wig

While Hobby Consoles celebrate its thirtieth anniversary, other pop culture icons, such as the Simpson, did the same, a couple of years ago. The series created by Matt Groening was the protagonist, in fact, from our first cover, and has repeated at number 364 of Hobby Consoles, with Bart Simpson as always as always. While it is true that much of the success weight of the Simpson falls at BART and Homer Simpson, the contrast papers that exercise characters such as Lisa or Marge Simpson have also faraged a good amount of fans The women of the yellow family. Today we are going to focus on Marge Simpson, the family matriark and a counterpart of the madness of Homer. She suffered housewife, mother and who, next to Lisa, usually put the dose of it from her to family follies. One of the most iconic points of Marge Simpson is the excessive blue bun of her, worthy of an English royal guard cap. I m sorry I Can not Wait to Whole Week to Show This Bitch Off. LOOK AT THIS WIG I MADE FOR MY

Everything changes in 30 years... minus the closures

For those who do not know, the closure is the stop date. The day the number has to be ready, all the pages finished, revised and PEDEFeades. It is the day in which those pdf are delivered to printing and crosses the little fingers so that everything goes well. Then there are what we are still called Ferros (although they are no longer Ferros). Some fotomechanical tests to verify that everything has been mounted correctly (the sheets is a bit mess) and that give us a new possibility of retouching some little thing... The last closure of Hobby Consoles was last Thursday, the number 364, the 30th anniversary number. And yes, it has been a bad closure. Look that lately we had them very controlled, because this has been a number of those who come twisted from the beginning... Always, in each number, there are things that go wrong. Some plan is always twisted, something always happens. Therefore, I always have a plan B, and up to a plan C. In general, when the number goes very well and
