re: #14 Obdicut

I saw a metric fuckton of sexual harassment at EA. Everything from ‘normal’ sexual harassment of women by commenting on their appearance, to guys talking about the female coworkers they’d had sex with, to the taunting of gay and disabled employees. I ‘reported’ some of it internally and small things were done, but there were systemic problems. Looking back, I should have— and many other people should have— filed lawsuits.

Hell, one fucking programmer included a web address as a graphic on some random crate texture. One of my testers followed it, and it went to that programmer’s personal website— which was a collection of links about sex tourism to countries with low age of consent laws. It really fucked with the tester’s head; he was a sheltered dude who’d never even encountered such shit before. That programmer wasn’t even reprimanded, and the tester who found it got let go in the next wave of layoffs.

Yay US employee protection laws!
