Activision Blizzard employees are reportedly planning a walkout for this Wednesday – a direct result of the leadership team’s response to a discrimination lawsuit raised last week. An open letter supporting the lawsuit has garnered over 2,600 signatures from past and present Activision Blizzard employees.

The open letter is seeking to make change within the organization, and the walkout on Wednesday will be a further call to executive leadership that their employees are demanding change. The strike will take place at the Blizzard offices in Irvine, California.

"Given last week’s statements from Activision Blizzard, Inc. and their legal counsel regarding the DFEH lawsuit, as well as the subsequent internal statement from Frances Townsend, and the many stories shared by current and former employees of Activision Blizzard since, we believe that our values as employees are not being accurately reflected in the words and actions of our leadership." reads a statement from the group.

The statement continues: "As current Activision Blizzard employees, we are holding a walkout to call on the executive leadership team to work with us on the following demands, in order to improve conditions for employees at the company, especially women, and in particular women of color and transgender women, nonbinary people, and other marginalized groups."

Responses from management have been mixed, with one executive claiming the lawsuit portrayed the company in a distorted light.

Filed on July 22 by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the lawsuit alleges a culture of sexual harassment, racism, sexism, and the denial of promotion opportunities for female employees. Since becoming public, more information about working conditions at Activision Blizzard has surfaced, including reports of sexual harassment against men.
