The cycle of layoffs continue to derail our industry because of the prioritization of shareholder profits over workers lives and quality game development.

If you want to help change the industry for the better, we encourage you to get involved today.

It's disgusting to hear Kotick boasting about record revenue for the company then announcing an 8% staffing cut in the next breath.

Kotick was especially proud to announce the 9% bump to stockholder values. That 9% comes from our labor. #FireBobbyKotick

[Game Workers Unite ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾 @GameWorkers]

If we divided Kotick's obscene annual pay (one the highest paid CEOs in the world) it alone could pay full salaries for all 800 laid off workers. #FireBobbyKotick

[Game Workers Unite ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾 @GameWorkers]

Not convinced Kotick's leadership is anything but greedy and exploitative?

Iwata, as CEO of Nintendo, cut his own pay during times of trouble to ensure no employees would lose their jobs.

And Activision saw record profits this year! They have no excuse. #FireBobbyKotick

[Game Workers Unite ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾 @GameWorkers]

Activision, under Kotick's leadership, gave a $15 million dollar bonus to the CFO *just for changing his job title* then they have the gall to turn around and lay off 800 workers just days later?

Bobby Kotick has been raking in $30 million dollars a year as Activision CEO, that massive income doesn't come from nowhere.

It comes from the labor of his employees. Kotick's wealth is built from the stolen wages of his workers. #FireBobbyKotick

The 800 workers who helped with community management, marketing games, running eSports, legal, and so much more are all far more valuable than the CEO.

When making the decision to cut someone from Activision we'd choose to #FireBobbyKotick every time.

[Game Workers Unite ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾 @GameWorkers]

Upending 800 workers' lives while raking in millions in bonuses for you and your c-suite buddies isn't leadership, it's theft.

We, the workers of Activision and their friends, have had enough. Join us in saying that it's time to #FireBobbyKotick. ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾
