Although criticized and hailed for its alleged role in creating a toxic workplace culture in Activision Blizzard, as well as for the concealment of many cases of employee sexual abuse, the company appears to continue keeping Bobby Kotick on the board until at least 2023.

And the point is that, among other things, the last annual meeting of shareholders voted on who will be a member of the company’s board of directors next year, approving with the overwhelming majority the stability of Koticka in the dome of Activision Blizzard, with a total of 533,703,580 votes against against 62,597,199 votes against.

However, during this meeting, a new plan was also approved, after which the company must start publishing an annual public report in which describes in detail how Activision Blizzard handles any disputes concerning sexual harassment and discrimination based on sex within the work environment. The report, which seeks not only to offer greater transparency, but is also self-critical in nature, as it must include details of how society prevents these incidents and what it does to reduce the time needed to resolve them. .

Even so, there are still many doubts as to whether or not Bobby Kotick’s stay on the board is the right decision. Recently, the New York City Employees Retirement System sued Kotick, called it inappropriate to negotiate a pending sale to Microsoft because of his “personal responsibility for a broken Activision Blizzard workplace«.

And this is because, despite the current decision of the company’s shareholders, if the purchase was completed by Microsoft, he could decide on the procedure in the process of leaving the managing director.
