'This dream job has turned into something I never expected.' Activision Blizzard is known for iconic video games but it's facing some serious allegations of sexual harassment.
This comes as the company settled with the federal government to pay harassment victims. As part of the agreement, the company set up an $18 million-dollar fund to compensate victims.
"This dream job has turned into something I never expected," said Christine who is suing the company."I've had men in these leadership roles put their hands on my lap, come up behind me and tightly hug me from behind, giving me their personal phone numbers with comments about coming home to take care of me, touch my breasts, make comments about my body and try to kiss me," she said."These were all unwanted advances.
"Experiencing it first-hand, I now understand. It's fear. Fear that we'll lose everything that we work towards. Fear that our loved ones won't understand," said Ariel."Fear that we won't be taken seriously. Fear that giving up and leaving will look like and feel like weakness."
