“We, the undersigned, no longer have confidence in the leadership of Bobby Kotick as the CEO of Activision Blizzard,' reads the petition.
The petition leads with a letter calling for Kotick to step down and for shareholders to vote on a new CEO without his input.
“We, the undersigned, no longer have confidence in the leadership of Bobby Kotick as the CEO of Activision Blizzard. The information that has come to light about his behaviors and practices in the running of our companies runs counter to the culture and integrity we require of our leadership — and directly conflicts with the initiatives started by our peers,” the letter reads.
“500 [signatures] was enough for us to feel confident in not being retaliated against,” said Valentine Powell, a senior engineer on “World of Warcraft” who uses they/them pronouns. “We will continue updating the petition as more signatures are added, so it won’t only be 500 in the end.” The petition will “show leadership we mean business and we’re not settling for the bare minimum anymore,” said Jessica Gonzalez, a senior test analyst for Battle.net at Blizzard.: “The Board remains confident that Bobby Kotick appropriately addressed workplace issues brought to his attention … The Board remains confident in Bobby Kotick’s leadership, commitment and ability.

Allen Brack stepped down from the role. In September, Oneal emailed Activision’s legal team to discuss her resignation, saying that she had been underpaid compared to her male co-lead, Mike Ybarra. Oneal“I’m toward the top [of the list of signatures] and I’m just tired.
