Just days before Activision Blizzard revealed how profitable the last quarter has been, Blizzard staff were protesting wage disparities.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a Bloomberg<\/a> report, Blizzard<\/strong> employees have been circulating a spreadsheet internally to anonymously compare salaries.<\/p>\n

For context, Blizzard found in a survey conducted in 2019 that over half of its staff are unhappy with their salaries. Blizzard’s response to the results of the survey was implemented in July, according to Bloomberg. It came in the form of raises and readjustment of salaries for some employees.<\/p>\n

Unsatisfied with the results, Blizzard’s workers began tracking all the readjustments across the studio, to measure the increase in pay. The results, according to the report, were well below what they expected after answering the survey. Some of the raises were less than 10%, particularly for those in quality assurance and customer service roles.<\/p>\n
