Blizzard Accused of Shredding Documents Amidst Sexual Harassment Investigation

California is continuing with its lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, and this story is becoming more troubling by the day. It started with a number of startling allegations of sexual harassment, but now it seems to have spiraled into something much worse for this hugely profitable video game company. The State of California is now accusing this company of shredding evidence and other forms of misconduct. It’s a worrying development, especially for the victims who are trying to see justice served.

If you have been sexually harassed in the workplace, know that you can file your own lawsuit. With the help of a qualified, experienced attorney in California, you can hold negligent employers and co-workers accountable for their inexcusable actions. Not only will you ensure they see consequences for their actions, but you can also receive a substantial settlement for your damages. It’s best to work with an attorney who specializes in matters related to sexual harassment and employment law.

What is Blizzard Being Accused of Now?

The lawsuit against Blizzard is nothing new, and it has been going on since July. This lawsuit alleged widespread instances of sexual harassment in Blizzard’s workplaces, including one incident that allegedly caused a woman to take her own life. Accusations of retaliation and inaction in response to reports of harassment were also included in the initial filing.

However, a second filing has emerged recently that puts an entirely new spin on this case. According to this latest development, Blizzard is now being accused of actively interfering with investigations conducted by state officials. This includes alleged shredding of documents related to past sexual harassment investigations and complaints. These documents were reportedly shredded by human resource personnel who work at Activision Blizzard.

The company then responded with an official statement:

“With regards to claims that we have destroyed information by shredding documents, those claims are not true. We took appropriate steps to preserve information relevant to the DFEH investigation.”

It’s unclear who is correct here, but one thing is clear: things are not looking good for Blizzard, and this is being reflected in the company’s share prices. This overall story seems to get more controversial by the day, and we can only hope that by the end of it all, the victims of harassment see some justice.
