~~Yet another reason to avoid Activision Blizzard. It's amazing to me how their corrupt and broken internal culture is apparently widespread throughout the company and their subsidiarys, and no one stopped to be like, "hol' up, we can't act like this" while the culture was taking form. So now you end up with people like the article trying to fight against it and getting doors shut in their face~~.

~~Also, it should be pretty easy to prove whether or not she resigned voluntarily. The resignation form would either be missing her signature or have a forged signature. Dunno what Activision Blizzard is doing trying to claim she resigned voluntarily.~~

Edit: I thought Bungie was still owned by Activision.

All for avoiding Activision/Blizzard but they have nothing to do with this. This is all Bungie.

I had an employer try this on me too. I beat the claim in court by pointing out that people who quit don't tend to bother showing up on time and ready to work at their next shift. Judge agreed with me. Shortly after I was offered about 80% of my claim as a settlement with the understanding that the taxes on the settlement would be paid by the company. Pretty good deal when I didn't even have a lawyer ngl

Umm, isn't this more on Bungie than ABK?

I mean yeah ABK has toxic culture, but Bungie has been with Sony for over a year now (Aug 2022), and Alm was hired just few 2 months before Sony acquisition and the issues followed up until September with false termination.

What does this have to do with Activision Blizzard?
