168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Activision Blizzard’s annual meeting concluded yesterday with CEO Bo💙bby Kotick re-e♑lected to the company’s board of directors along with all previous board members.
According to the and the company’s own , shareholders voted 91 percent in favor of Activision Blizzarꦓd’s current board of directors despite calls for Kotick’s resignation amidst ongoing litigation and several bombshell reports accusing Kotick of dirওect involvement in discrimination and harassment complaints.
However, it seems that Activision Blizzard shareholders aren’t entirely satisfied with the status quo. Shareholders voted 67 percent in💛 favor of a non-binding proposal fro𓆏m New York State that would have the company publish annual reports of pending sexu𒁏al abuse, harassment, and discrimination complaints, an estimate of monetary settlements, and updates on Activision Blizzard’s efforts to tackle th𓆉ese issues.
Activ🧸ision Blizzard said it would “carefully consider 🌺the proposal to enhance our future disclosures,” but stopped short of agreeing to fully implement the proposal.
Last Thursday, Activision Blizzard announced it had found no evidence of "16🌌8澳洲幸运5开奖网:widespread harassment or systemic harassment" after an internal investigation. That's despite an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ongoing lawsuit from the California 💎DFEH which accuses the company of having a "frat boy workplace culture," a wrongful death lawsuit 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:that was later dropped, and a report from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Wall Street Journal accusi🎐ng Kotick of direct involvement with several cases of harassment.
In addition to re-electing the current board, shareholders also voted 88 percent in favor of executive compensation levels. Only five percent of shareholders supported a proposal that would see an Activision Blizzard employee appointed to the board, a motion that the board also 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:unanimously opposed.
Greater employee representation may still yet come to Activision Blizzard. The company’s first union, the Game Workers Alliances, recently formed from Raven Software’s QA staff. The union has been 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:officially recognized by the National Labor Bo🐷ard, and Activision Blizzard has confirmed its legal requirement to engage in “168澳洲幸运5开奖网:good faith negotiations” with the nascent union. Microsoft has also 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:committed itself to neutrality following its acquisition of Activision Blizzard in🗹 a $70 billion deal that’s expected to close next summer.
