Following the Blizzard president, Activision Blizzard’s HR director also resigned

According to the latest report, Blizzard President J. Allen Brack is not the only executive to leave the company. Prior to this, the company culture he led was accused of contributing to continued sexual harassment. An Activision Blizzard spokesperson confirmed to Bloomberg and The Verge website that Jesse Meschuk, the company’s global human resources director, has also resigned.

A spokesperson for Activision Blizzard wrote: Jesse Meschuk is no longer in the company. However, the company declined to comment further. Meschuk also appears to have deleted his Twitter account. Although Brack is responsible for managing the entire Blizzard brand and was accused of being behind the scenes in the California lawsuit, Blizzard’s human resources department has also been accused of collusion.

According to a former Blizzard developer in an interview with Kotaku, the lawsuit indicated that employees were dissuaded from complaining because it is well known that human resources personnel have a close relationship with the so-called harassers, and it appears in the photo of the Cosby suite. One person is said to be a human resources employee.

In a new report published by Axios, multiple current and former Blizzard employees said that the company’s human resources team is part of the problem. They point out that the problems they report will only be ignored, belittled and retaliated.

According to reports, a human resources representative told an employee to accept reality because they acted like an urchin. Another woman told Axios that after she was assaulted by a male colleague, a human resources representative stood by him and told her to work from home or change departments.

Last Tuesday, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick promised to clean up. He wrote in a letter at the time: Anyone found to hinder the integrity of our assessment requirements and impose appropriate consequences will be suspended.

In Activision Blizzard’s earnings conference call on Tuesday, Kotick defended the company’s intention to make the necessary changes– First of all, I want to make it clear to everyone that our company will not tolerate any form of discrimination, harassment, or inequality. Treatment. We will be a company that sets an example in our industry. However, he continued to say that these allegations are old news. In the past few years, we have made major changes to the company’s culture.
