Activision Blizzard workers are furious with Mike Ybarra in particular
Game Developer collects information from certain workers, some anonymous. First, on the issue of the annual bonus cut, Mike Ybarra defended this decision. He mentioned that this cut affects everyone equally, that no executive receives a higher percentage. This is true, but the standard of living of the employee located in the lower echelon of Activision Blizzard needs the original percentage of the bonus to maintain his lifestyle with few frills.
This problem is intensified by knowing that, in the coming months, employees will have to return to face-to-face work, further affecting their economy. Blizzard made an official statement and said that those hired for complete remote work will retain this way of working. They also indicated that those who want (and must) relocate to work in the office will be supported.
The anonymous statements indicate that Mike Ybarra declared that, if one was not happy with the decisions that were made, it was best to do what makes you happy. The use of those words and their intention is more than evident, alluding to a migration of workers who went to a company that met their requirements to be happy. Mike Ybarra also alluded to customer service and quality control workers, calling them non-long-term positions.
Activision Blizzard workers are furious after perceiving in Mike Ybarra’s statements an executive who agrees with the company’s problems.
This means that the company looks for those who receive less compensation to move up in the company, with positions with greater opportunities and rewards. It is a very sweet way to place these two sectors in the lowest echelon of the company. The quality control workers see how they will not be able to create a lasting career in this company, or at the very least, that this decision will not be supported by the executives. Non-long-term charges are the same as receiving lower monetary compensation.
