Anecdote: I work on a game team at Activision Blizzard and have seen nothing like this behavior. If anything people are terrified of creating a harmful climate because the company is so “woke”.

I don't work there and I'm shocked after reading all the 29 pages, not to mention your company's response to the allegations.

This investigation by California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing uncovered a substantial amount of discrimination, harassment and retaliation. A female employee killed herself on a company trip, many others since spoke about their ordeals.

If you haven't seen anything it's because you failed to notice it, just like you failed to notice that your company is currently trying to save face. This also means that the company failed to address any of the issues, otherwise there would have been a conversation about it, and not just these insubstantial exercises.

You working for them, yet being completely in the dark speaks volumes.

you say it "speaks volumes". Post bad things you've seen and name names. Don't be cowardly
How long have you worked there, and how long has it been this way?

The company has been under investigation for a long time and known it. Of course you've been subject to an oversized response: the company wants to portray that clearly they've always been ""woke"".

They know that a single new incident right now, during this lawsuit, will cost them dearly.

Companies that present themselves as woke seem to be among the worst perpetrators.
