168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Activision Blizzard is being sued again. This time, rather than board members angry over Activision Blizzard's pending acquisition by Microsoft but the bereaved parents of a former employee who committed suicide whil🎐e on a comp𒊎any retreat.
In documents obtained by , Paul and Janet Moynihan accuse Activision Blizzard's toxic work environment of contributing to their daughter's suicide. Kerri Moynihan was found dead in her room at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa during a company retreat in 2017. The complaint alleges sexual harassment from her male boss, Greg Restituito, was a "significant factor" leading to her death.
Furthermore, the suit accuses Activision Blizzard of trying to obstruct the investigation into Kerri Moynihan's suicide. The suit alleges detectives from the Anaheim Police Department requested both the company laptops and cell phones of Moynihan and Restituito. Activision Blizzard refused to provide either for Restituito, and when the company did produce Moynihan's cell phone the device had already been "wiped."
The suit follows after the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Califorꦇnia DFEH issued its lawsuit last year with harrowing details of a female employee who committed suicide. Although the DFEH suit never provided a name, the details seem to line up with this recent lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday from Moynihan's parents.
The DFEH suit told of a female employee who killed herself in her hotel room whi🃏le on a company retreat after pers🔥istent sexual harassment. The suit also noted that nude photos of the female employee had previously been shared at a holiday party.
When news of the DFEH lawsuit first broke last summer, Activision Blizzard denied all culpability with their employee's suicide. In a statement to The Washington Post, the company had little to add. "We will address the complaint through the legal process as appropriate, and out of respect for the family we have no further comment at this time.”
News of this latest lawsuit comes just days after Activision Blizzard faced renewed calls for reform after failing t♈o meet a government-mandated deadline to increase the diversity of its board of directors. Activision Blizzard stated it failed to meet the minimum requirements of f✅emale boa🌸rd members as required by a 2019 California law due to the pending Microsoft purchase.
