Bobby Kotick said in a new interview that there was never any"systemic issue with harassment" at his company., Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick said there's actually never been a problem with"systemic" harassment at the company, and that reports of such things were mainly the result of unions trying to cause trouble.for Activision Blizzard.
Despite all of that, Activision Blizzard's board of directors said in June 2022 that, after conducting its own internal investigation, there wasat the studio. Now, Kotick is not only sticking to that story, he's taking it a step further by pointing the finger at labor organizers. "We've had every possible form of investigation done," Kotick said."And we did not have a systemic issue with harassment—ever. We didn't have any of what were mischaracterizations reported in the media. But what we did have was a very aggressive labor movement working hard to try and destabilize the company."
That's certainly audacious, but it fits a new approach Kotick is apparently taking: He told Variety that his mistake when the allegations about widespread misconduct at Activision Blizzard first came to light was not forcefully defending the company and himself against them."I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you if any of what you read in the inflammatory narrative was truthful," he said.
Ironically, Kotick also insisted that he is not"anti-union," and in fact claimed that he's"the only Fortune 500 CEO who's a member of a union.
