Seems like former Unity VP is suing the CEO for sexual harassment "The sexual harassment allegedly took many forms — ranging from making sexist jokes to propositioning her and other employees for sex, to making references to his erect penis and saying, “I want to fuck you. I want to throw you down on the bed and fuck you.” https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/08/former-unity-technology-vp-files-lawsuit-alleging-ceo-sexually-harassed-her/ What are your thoughts?
Lol, Riccitiello. Drove EA to negative profit for years.
Toxic
Gaming has had a reputation of toxicity for a while. It’s an avenue where people bring their worst behavior. Teenagers yell really the most inappropriate profanities till they get into college. Most of that crowd wants to build games and goes into industry. I am sure some grow up but not everyone does. Cases like these will come but they will be hushed up later.
I worked directly for hm for years and he was a great boss. I Never saw inappropriate behavior. He always treated me and other female reports with respect. I am all for changing toxic environments and supporting victims having experienced a great deal of quid pro quo level sexual harassment in my career. I just know JR and this characterization of him seems so different from the man I know.
And if he didn't harass you he obviously isn't capable of ever doing it to anyone else right? Predators always harass literally every female they know.
Yes that could be true but the lawsuit also talks about the workplace culture With the men creating an overly sexualized environment that openly talked about female employees. That I never saw when I worked for him and I don’t think he as CEO would allow that. He didn’t tolerate men interrupting me or other female reports in meetings. I can’t imagine he would support men talking about sexual topics in front of female employees. I worked with him for 5 years and continue to partner with the Unity team and see no evidence of this behavior in my interactions past and present. I have had my own experiences of quid pro quo sexual harassment in my career and several inappropriate interactions as Well. None were with JR or any of the Unity team members he brought over from EA. Hence, I am Going to wait for the final outcome of this suit until I change my opinion of him. I don’t work for him now but I would again as he was one of the best bosses I have had and was very kind and supportive of me.
