Wow: Townsend issues posts, such as 3000 Blizzard Employees

The manager Frances Townsend gives one of their positions at Activison Blizzard, but remains in the company. 3000 employees had demanded their resignation in a letter as "Executive Sponsor" of the women's network. Townsend played an unfortunate figure in sexism scandal around DenWow developer Blizzard.

Which position gives Townsend? Frances Townsend was "Executive Sponsor" of the women's network of Activision Blizzard. The function serves as a kind of project manager and was responsible for the activities of the network against the board. If you are transferring it to German conditions, it would probably have been something like the high-rankest Equality Officer at Activision Blizzard.

From this position, she returns.

Townsend remains with Activision Blizzard. There she dresses the function of an Executive Vice President. She had come to the company only in January 2021.

Internal statement after sexism complaint caused a lot of criticism

This caused a lot of trouble: The resignation of Townsend from her function had challenged employees of Blizzard in an open letter to the management. This was first signed by about 1,000 employees, meanwhile, the number of signatories has risen to 3,000.

The staff and employees of Blizzard annoyed each other about an internal e-mail of Townsend. She had responded to the action of a state authority against Blizzard. This internal e-mail became public.

Townsend called the allegations in the lawsuit "distorted", "outdated" and "factually incorrect": Activision Blizzard is a great company with great values. She told her in her function as an executive sponsor of the woman's network and Chief Compliance Officer of the company.

In addition, there were trouble on Twitter, when Townsend shared a contribution that practiced criticism of "Whistlebowern". She was criticized for the post office. But her reaction was criticized even sharper: she blocked critics, including Blizzard employees, and ultimately deleted their Twitter channel completely.

As the page Kotaku announces, she did that from its own pieces, the company would not have asked her to delete her Twitter account.

Townsend now says: She says, with her resignation you do the right thing for the network, but you will continue to support the women's network as well as you could.

The Washington Post also reports, Townsend told the Blizzard employees in a zoom meeting, with their original statement, they have heard a lawyer in terms of language. Therefore, that would not have been so sound like you.

The resignation of Townsend is another consequence of the scandal:
