https://kotaku.com/inside-the-culture-of-sexism-at-riot-games-1828165483 The story about the male employee presenting the same idea to a group of people that she had presented is actually terrible and really really concerning. I had a friend working at a different gaming company and another friend at Twitch who told me similar stories.... "Both male and female sources have described seeing unsolicited and unwelcome pictures of male genitalia from bosses or colleagues. One woman saw an e-mail thread about what it would be like to “penetrate her,” in which a colleague added that she’d be a good target to sleep with and not call again. Another said a colleague once informed her, apparently as a compliment, that she was on a list getting passed around by senior leaders detailing who they’d sleep with. Two former employees said they felt pressure to leave after making their concerns about gender discrimination known. One former male employee said that Riot’s “bro culture” is more pronounced behind closed doors, and hurts men too: One of Riot’s male senior leaders regularly grabbed his genitals, the source said, adding, “If he walked into a meeting with no women he’d just fart on someone’s face.” Riot Employees what do you think? What do you think can be done to improve Riot and other gaming company culture of sexism?
Someone tldr for me pls thanks!
This article was from a full year ago. The article has sparked a lot of really great change at Riot. Check out this: https://www.riotgames.com/en/news/riot-one-year-later-my-reflections
representing somebody elses work happens irrespective of gender and is not sexism but assholism
The sexism part is when management like an idea when it’s presented by a male but not when it’s presented by a female. It’s not about the stealing of people idea.
Happens both ways. Unless you can control for presentation skills, not that meaningful
What the hell...
Not at Riot but yes I have seen this too many times to count. At Microsoft. Recently
What? Someone taking credit for other's ideas, the dick pics or the fart-in-your-face thing? Because I've definitely seen the first, but never the other 2...
Honestly I bet you someone like Ballmer did back when the company had 50 people...
My God it's run by a bunch of children
This is f*ing disgusting. When you step back and look at the bigger picture.....no wonder other countries are out innovating us. We have serious issues.
What are those other countries?
Germany has a higher performance, Japan is just behind us.
Disgusting
“Zero tolerance of general toxicity” - must be a great place to work lol.
I prefer at least a little toxicity tbh
The funniest that if the recruiter finds your lol account and finds that you were coursing when useless mofos are just stupid, than you are getting questions and looks and internally this is the culture...
