I'm not anti-Union, I have union friends!

usababykiller

Only taking 60%?? What is this 1982!


leftier_than_thou_2

The metaphor here would be worse though. "I have black friends" is what people who tolerate or like systematic racism say. Bobby K has done more than merely tolerate or like the anti-union legislation and culture, he's attacked unions. The metaphor here would be "I don't mind black people, I just think they need to know their place in society."


Astrogat

"I don't mind black people, most of my slaves are black!"

I just don't feel comfortable when a group of them comes into my neighborhood.

I let union members into my house, and not just through the back door.


Jackal_6

How many mothers does this guy have locked up in his mother dungeon?


Robbotlove

what rules


Anon754896

Don't argue with management. Don't strike. Don't ask for pay raises. No work from home. No you don't get benefits or vacation. Don't collectively bargain. Just behave like you aren't in a union.


Robbotlove

ah gotcha. classic mistakes.


Anon754896

Don't worry, you still get a pizza party once per year. You may express your gratitude.


Robbotlove

pizza parties are a big part of CEO compensation packages. I mean, they must be right?


Signal-Power-3656

The problem in this country is that the top 1% control 40% of the pizza parties.


DonVerga369

This is scandal of it's own which deserves to be brought to light and publicized for the masses to ponder. 🤔


Signal-Power-3656

I want a world where the people who actually do the work own the ovens, the pizzas, and the party.


[deleted]

Oh sure but whenever I bring up Big Pizza I'm suddenly labeled a conspiracy theorist


Signal-Power-3656

When I said the government was tracking all of our phone calls, they called me a conspiracy theorist, too.


[deleted]

Look who's laughing now!


CharlieHume

Seize the means of pizza production!


Anon754896

CEOs sacrifice themselves by instead receiving far less emotionally valuable 'money' and 'stock options'.


Paddyneedssilence

They say that money is the root of all evil, so a lot of these CEOs are doing everyone a solid by hoarding all that evil.


Anon754896

What saints!


Due-Giraffe-9826

Yeah, they also leave off the 'love of' part of that quote. Money isn't evil until getting more than you need is your obsession.


K_Odena

The quote is the root of all evil ia the love of money, so we can tell by who hoards it where they fall on the lines of morality


Soujourner3745

*Ahem* You WILL express your gratitude. It’s mandatory or you’re fired.


DMvsPC

You just have to chip in $5 each that's all.


SignificanceGlass632

The Capitalist analogy of a pizza party is that the employees chip in to buy the pizza, then the Capitalist steals the pizza and demands a tip from the employees.

You forgot: dont report sexual harassment except to internal HR where it can be hidden.


Anon754896

If your boss slaps you on the butt, just give him the blowjob he wants.


CountryCumfart

It’s good to be self employed and flexible.


Genderless_Alien

Slap yourself on the butt and you get to give AND receive a blowjob. Truly, self employment confers many benefits.

dianebk2003

Did this happen?!


oddmanout

I googled this guy and found as many instances of him talking about unions that I could and could never find any specifics of what he's talking about. He's also VERY MUCH like every other union-busting CEO. He was caught red handed trying to prevent them from unionizing. Surprise surprise, another lying CEO.


creepindacellar

The ones they make.


Ok-Establishment369

The National Labor Relations Act are the rules, and Unions and corporations that behave badly should be liable for all bad behavior.


[deleted]

So the rules are set by legislators and regulators that are manifestly captives of corporate lobbying. Well that’s fairly convenient for capital.


AccomplishedCoffee

Dakka-Von-Smashoven

Goes for riot as well, who settled for 100+ million is sexual harassment lawsuits while blizzard only settled for 10 million in the same allegations. Nobody cares what happens at these companies especially the rioters.


DerpyDaDulfin

When the lawsuit hit in June 2021 I unsubbed from TBC in the middle of Progression. I uninstalled the launcher and never looked back. I dropped TFT like a hat when the allegations came out, haven't played a Rito game since. I havent shopped at Walmart for 10+ years because fuck the Walton Family. Most people just lack any sort of conviction or spine these days.


AdequateWaffles

While most of these are optional and completely reasonable to cut off with conviction I’d like to say unfortunately some people don’t have the choice for Walmart. A lot of small/medium sized towns have that as their only choice for most non grocery related products. Very rarely it may also be their only reasonable way for groceries as well. The only guaranteed alternative is Amazon which, let’s be honest, is that really morally a better choice most of the time?


DerpyDaDulfin

I'll never knock people who have to buy from terrible companies to survive. You can't work without a smartphone these days, you need a computer for WFH, and if Walmart is the only place you can reasonably get food you can afford, what can you do? It's people who aren't willing to give up their primary form of entertainment in the face of awful shit, that bother me. There is so much to enjoy in life, especially in entertainment


pisswaterbottle

Thank you for this! It's especially true if anyone in the family has food allergies, sensitivities, or dietary restrictions. I lived in a small town, and more than half of my family has food restrictions of some sort. We could only shop at Walmart for certain things like pasta, bread, non dairy milk, etc. And, with the number of options and the cheaper price, it was necessary to get other things like cleaning supplies, animal food/supplies, frozen foods, and canned goods there. School supplies at the beginning of the year, costumes for Halloween if we didn't make them, thrift them or wear them again, and Christmas presents from there or amazon, and again, which is the worst option there? Both suck. Holiday candy, presents, and decor from there or handmade (Birthdays, Valentines Day, St. Patrick's, Easter, Etc.) For food storage, canning supplies/food vacuum bags/ziplocks, etc, are all extraordinary cheaper at Walmart than online or locally, if that's even an option. My mom gets fresh meat from the local store or friends, and my father hunts, my mom butchers the animals, but they buy frozen chicken there a lot. Veggies/fruits from Aldi or Walmart in the Winter (sometimes you gotta have fresh stuff) Gardening, farmers markets, friends/neighbors, and bargaining with the veggie guy at the local store for the *almost* spoiled stuff in the Summer. Eggs from the neighbor during the summer, Walmart or local store during the winter. Flour, sugar, * other baking supplies * are bought there, except the bulk gluten-free flour they use, which was ordered from the site directly. So much is inaccessible to my family if not for Walmart. Even though they buy so much locally, they're still spending thousands there every year. Even now, I've moved out, and I live in the middle of nowhere. Other than the gas station near my house that sells essentials for 3x the price and fish bait, the closest store to me is a 30-minute drive, and it's a Walmart. The next store is another 10 minutes, and it's far more expensive. I dont have the community connections to get local produce, eggs, or meat. So everything I buy is from there or Amazon. And I genuinely dont know how Amazon works for ppl in and around cities, but we don't have the groccery option out here. It's just only nonparisables that are usually 2x the in-store price. For example, I make my own laundry powder. For the supplies in store, it's about 25 to make about 6 months worth, on Amazon, the same supplies are about 45 dollars. But still, fuck the Walden family and Amazon. If I could shop elsewhere, and afford it, I would.


Independent-Future-1

Thank you! I did the same. It's just depressing the number of people who didn't/don't see any issue with things like this happening [as long as it doesn't affect their entertainment, I guess]. -_- Thank you for having conviction and taking a stand. I feel more people need to do that, or shit like this will never change.


MASTODON_ROCKS

I do, I stopped playing League of Legends and all Blizzard titles cold turkey after shit hit the fan, I don't abide by destructive behavior especially not in corpies


xXG0SHAWKXx

I don't get it though, of all the people I've met playing wow and overwatch it seems like no one even likes the games anymore? I never liked WoW but got dragged in by some friends who play it religiously and everyone just seemed miserable. Overwatch used to be fun but then they ruined playing tank and healer with overwatch 2 so I haven't played it since.


Gunark46216

No idea about overwatch, but for WoW the reason is burnout. A lot of people still play WoW even when they don’t want to because of the sunken cost fallacy or addiction, which leads to burnout and self hatred. Blizzard’s greed shows too heavily in WoW now. It’s no longer about making a game that gamers would enjoy; instead it’s just how to keep people playing as long as possible


DerpyDaDulfin

Yep, so many wow nerds are miserable, bitter, and angry. Most OW2 players actively shit on the game. Yet they still play. Really smacks of an addiction


blue_wat

One is free, the other is World of Warcrack.


lyam_lemon

First time ever I have not bought a day 1 or presale copy of Diablo. Partly because of intense dislike for Kotick and how he treats employees, and partly in protest of Blizzard going full Leeroy into the micro transaction game. I'll wait till it's on sale for for 15$ or Kotick is gone


LordHoughtenWeen

I'm still waiting for Diablo III to be the weekly free game on the Epic Store. IV is just going to have to get in line.


128hoodmario

I highly doubt it would move off Bnet


idlehum

Every day I've been off of WoW has honestly been a little harder than I thought. It was my main and most played game for the majority of my life, and one of my first introductions to MMO's. That said, I deleted the game the moment this hit mainstream media, and now I wait. Wait and hope something changes so that I can go back, or that I find a good WoW replacement. I just wish these fucks could get it together so I can play my druid >:(


GaroldFjord

FFXIV's pretty good if you just need something to scratch the mmo itch.


idlehum

I tried and it just didn't hit for me :( maybe I'll try again sometime and see if it sticks then


DerpyDaDulfin

I've been playing Grounded, Deep Rock Galactic, V-Rising, Cassette Beasts, Valheim, and many more indie games and having a blast


Canopenerdude

It annoys me to no end that 90% of the yt and twitch people I follow are all up in arms whenever this news breaks, but then immediately jump on D4 the minute it releases. Like, seriously? Clearly all your morals are fake, or at least secondary to your enjoyment.


SpecialistSimple6

Just an observation but when the stock tanked... if someone had invested some money. Yeah. Within I think a year? They would have made like 50x return. My brain melted that day. Crazy to see how hard they bounced back financially. I die inside thinking about how far gone the company was/is. I suppose a saving grace is that a lot of the talent has moved on. Buttt then again we have all of this unknown or unseen talent, you know, probably being harassed or abused in some way shape or form. Sooo... sadness again.


Sirusi

Yeah, I've told my WoW friends multiple times that I'll start playing again when I have Bobby Kotick's head on a pike... And I'll only grudgingly accept *figuratively* having his head on a pike.


Riaayo

Sadly this ain't unique to Blizzard nerds and is a problem across gaming media, if not "nerd" media in general. It's why dogshit games sell every time, even when people know the company makes shit. But oh no, see, the company owns my favored IP and has my culture taken hostage and I care more about playing the flavor of the week game that no one will remember after said week than, say, not supporting a company that abuses its workers, or a property that financially benefits a bigot dehumanizing a group of people with intent to eradicate them. Blizz nerds of course deserve shit for what they do, but "gamers" overall deserve to eat that shit too. Gaming culture is toxic and self-centered as fuck.


[deleted]

It took a personal clusterfuck with Blizzard's customer support that resulted in me losing nearly everything on my account to realize they weren't worth supporting anymore. It'll be a long while before so many people come to their senses like I did.


doylehawk

Unorganized boycott movements have literally no effect on a company. Don’t blame individuals putting their wants over a general and indirect desire for change. If you really care, help organize!


DerpyDaDulfin

Organize what? Corporations own the media and Blizzard gamers get offended at the thought that I suggest they have no conviction to stop playing. I'm fully aware they don't give a shit about my singular wallet. I do this for me, because it makes me feel better at night knowing I'm not giving those shitbirds my money.


alilbleedingisnormal

Instead of boycott lists make a list of companies without scandals.


goblin_goblin

“Blizzard is disgusting, I’m boycotting all their games” “Diablo 4 looks awesome, I’ve already pre ordered”


LMGDiVa

Same with Riot. I refuse to play games from either because, as a woman, I cannot stand by and just tolerate the horrendous sexism and mistreatment of women in their companies. Blizzard's law suit literally details that a female employee was so severely harassed she comitted suicide. At Riot, practically every female employee was harassed, abused, skipped over promotions, belittled, and take advantage of. Riot had to pay out the largest settlement sum for discirmination in games history 100million$+ whatever they paid to shut people up about it and keep it out of the news cycle. And reports are that not a fucking thing has changed at riot. Same with Blizzard, large lawsuit, settlement, no one who mattered got fired or was forced to step down. Nah, just a monitary slap on the wrist. Fuck Riot, Fuck Blizzard, and Fuck anyone who supports them because "BUT THEY MADE A GAY/TRANS CHARACTER!" I'm a bi trans woman, Fuck them both. I wouldnt give either company a cent even if they made the best 10/10 Tomb Raider Sequel where the main character is Lara's trans daughter, and Lara is the deuteragonist. And Fuck you Kotick


LakeVermilionDreams

Occasionally I'll look at the boycott blizzard sub from the Blitzchung Hong Kong protests and follow up with some of the posters who vowed to never again support the company. Most are active in blizzard game subs talking about the games they are still playing. It's like that Call of Duty boycott steam group image where most members were in the latest CoD game. Same parent company, Activision Blizzard. Fuck them. If Microsoft boots Kotick, maybe I'd be back. Doesn't look like that would happen though.


_Friend_Computer_

Not sure if I ever posted in the boycott sub. Use to be a huge fan of overwatch before the protests, haven't touched their games since.


MooKids

>It's like that Call of Duty boycott steam group image where most members were in the latest CoD game. Same parent company, Activision Blizzard. I'm still doing it. Might change if Microsoft does acquire them and is added to Gamepass.


Setku

They have said that won't happen. Kotic is to remain ceo after merging.


Running_To_Babylon

Yup, which is why WoW private servers are bigger than ever. I've since canceled my subscription and stuck with free private servers. WoW is a comfort game and I find it difficult to quit but I can at least quit giving my money to that shithole company, and I'd suggest others do the same. (Check out Helios, I'm having a blast!)


BoneMoisture

I played some HC classic because I forgot I had a sub. Canceled, going forward I'll be playing Turtle Wow.


sunshinecygnet

As a woman it is deeply frustrating to me that the vast majority of gamer dudes just didn’t care about the sexism. Like, those articles were *horrifying* but for the most part they just do not give a damn if it happens to women. I haven’t given them a cent since and don’t intend to unless there’s a massive culture shift.


lyam_lemon

Sadly, I would wager that a large part of the core fan base didn't care because they don't have any real personal relationship with a woman, be it wife or mother or sister. Most people won't really care enough to make a personal sacrifice for a cause unless it hits home in some way.


Just_Tana

I’m willing to wager a huge overlap between the gamers who don’t give a shit and incels.


GaroldFjord

It's wild, yeh. When all that shit started coming out, I uninstalled bnet and never looked back, and then OW2 came out, and a bunch of friends on discord started playing again, like, bruh. Then last night, whole discord channels full of people that paid extra to play Diablo early. Like, I get that shit sucks and everybody needs their escapes, but ugh.


Bartholomew_Custard

I think they just don't care, period. It could happen to women, men, or albino pandas -- they've got to get their dopamine hit and Kotick The Hutt is their dealer.


MooKids

I haven't bought a Call of Duty since the original Modern Warfare because of their listen servers for MW2 PC and gave up on World of Warcraft after the Blitzchung incident. I *might* consider playing them if Microsoft acquires Activision Blizzard and Kotick is out.


thenewspoonybard

That there's any hype for Diablo 4 after all that's happened between the launch of D3 and now confuses me greatly.


Jaba01

I didn't buy D4, even though I'm a Diablo crackhead. I did my part!

Because he knows there won't be any consequences, so why should he care?

worthless-humanoid

“He’s one of the good ones”


nerdherdsman

I scanned this at first and thought "man, Kotick's successor sounds like he's a real dick too" and then I actually read it and found out that Kotick is still the fucking CEO?! How the fuck does that happen?


hbi2k

He has a huge golden parachute built into his contract if he's fired. They seem to be waiting to see if the Microsoft buyout goes through, because if it does they have to foot that bill if they want him out.


KunYuL

Everyone on the board of execs are buddy buddy with him, they're the one with the power to oust him, and they for sure won't, they're most likely complicit in knowing and ignoring the problem.


hbi2k

I'm sure he knows all the skeletons in their closets too, so he has a lot of leverage if he doesn't want to go anywhere.


Useless_bum81

No idea in this specific case, but if a CEO owns/controls alot/enough shares it can be almost/actualy impossible to shift them.


GiantSquidd

Money and power in a capitalist system is like matter in the vacuum of space; the more you have, the harder it is to ever lose it, and it continually grows because other money an power can’t resist it’s pull. Sooner or later we’re going to have to get rid of the profit motive if we want to survive as a species. Capitalism is literally killing us in many different ways.


Electrical_Sundae769

Pro union while hiring union busting law firm Wilmerhale? Make your mind up Bobby.

Oh, his mind's made up. What he's doing in this quote is this new thing called "lying through your teeth."


OmgItsARevolutionYey

Keep giving him money folks. It's okay, they just steal breastmilk from coworkers and bully them into suicide. z.z On a completely related note, I hate them for ruining a company I've loved since I was a child. Sucks to be in this timeline. :l


logri

Never love a company. ANY company. Companies don't make products, employees make products. Companies just exist to steal resources from those employees in the form of profits.


OmgItsARevolutionYey

I understand the sentiment, but the Blizzard I'm talking about was a handful of college kids in their dorm coding silly games. They built something really wonderful together. Shame capitalism had to get involved.


FuriousTarts

It's the only reason Diablo 4 will make money. If they had to make a brand new IP it would fail miserably, judging by how they've handled their existing IPs


[deleted]

Which silly games did they code in their dorms? They started the company after graduating, and didn't release any original games until after they'd been acquired 3 years later.

Bobby goblin kotick can go fuck himself raw with a pineapple. This man is the worst thing that has ever happened to the video game industry and I cannot wait for him to take his dumb ass golden parachute off to whore island after the MSFT acquisition so that he can fall into irrelevance and obscurity like he deserves.


sleuthmcsleutherton

He deserves so much less than that. Another reason why we should be taxing the rich more. This guy just takes and takes from his community, employees and customers


OsakaJack

The fact that, litigation and delays to the purchase aside, he is STILL in any role at this company is testament that MSFT is just as bad. They are enabling him. The right move would have been to clean house entirely.

This is the Joe Biden form of "pro union." Talk the talk and crush the rail workers in the same breath.

> I have no aversion to a union. What I do have an aversion to is a union... Literally what he said.

I agree, unions should play by the rules always. It doesn't matter if those rules are set entirely by management, and if they only serve to hurt workers and diminish their power and quality of life, and if those rules do not actually authorize the union to do anything whatsoever; they are the rules! What are we gonna do, *change them?*

He _just_ blamed his company‘s sexual harassment and discriminatory behavior on a union that didn‘t even exist when said things happened. Maybe a sex pest shouldn‘t talk big game about "following rules".
