"I know that they need to be trusted to be your advocates - not labelled as 'enablers' or seen as company resources who provide bad actors with safe harbour," Bungie head of HR Gayle D'Hondt said in an email announcing her resignation after 14 years at the company.

Earlier this week, a report came to light 🐽168澳洲幸运5开奖网:accusing Bungie of crunch and workplace toxicit꧑y with the accounts of 26 current and former employees.

She also talked about her own abuser, "A man, an executive, and someone I thought was my friend at Bungie - which resulted in Bungie firing him." The reason for her stepping down specifically is that she believes the company needs to "move forward" with "people new to Bungie," those that can be trusted, not "labelled as 'enablers'".

Several employees have been let go while CEO Pete Parsons issued an apology, stating that he doesn't want to "refute or to challenge the experiences" of ♛168澳洲幸运5开奖网:those alleging🌌 abuse and crunch culture, but instead that he "feels a deep sense of empathy and sadness reading through these accounts꧑." The company is also said to be reviewing its "hiring, compensation, and promotion practices" in an attempt to prevent and stop these problems.

D'Hondt ended her email by saying, "I am proud of the work I did at this company. I believe I made recommendations that were in the best interest of our people and in service of the company we wish to become. I also believe we made some mistakes, and that to become the better version of ourselves - the company I know we can be - we have to acknowledge and confront them, in good faith, and grow together."
