My initial reaction was to laugh my ass off at the extra drop of crap in the collective cup. Upon a second take however... considering what a horrifying den of depravity ActiBlizz became during the past years, this may turn out to be for the best in the long run...

    Jesse McCree ?

    It's not like it was only managers that were dirty.

    Surely there was a management enabling it but it seemed widespread at Blizzard.

    Now for the 99% others that lost their job for no reasons. That's another story.

    Not slighting the dismissal of those who didn't partake, don't get me wrong! Every situation has nuance, not denying that! I was referring to the overall culture which took root there, and from that the purely utilitarian observation that it's easier to change the mentality if you change the people (in one way or another).
