The company is known for its Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Candy Crush franchises.<blockquote>动视暴雪位于加利福尼亚州欧文市的办公室。该公司以其《使命看涨期权》、《魔兽世界》和《糖果粉碎传奇》系列而闻名。</blockquote> Federal securities regulators have launched a wide-ranging investigation into&nbsp;Activision Blizzard&nbsp;Inc.,&nbsp;including how the videogame-publishing giant handled employees’ allegations of sexual misconduct and workplace discrimination, according to people familiar with the investigation and documents viewed by The Wall Street Journal.<blockquote>据知情人士和《华尔街日报》看到的文件透露，联邦证券监管机构已对动视暴雪公司展开了广泛调查，包括这家视频游戏出版巨头如何处理员工对不当性行为和工作场所歧视的指控。</blockquote> The Securities and Exchange Commission has subpoenaed Activision, known for its Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Candy Crush franchises, and several of its senior executives, including longtime Chief Executive Bobby Kotick, according to the people and documents.<blockquote>据知情人士和文件显示，美国证券交易委员会已传唤以《看涨期权》、《魔兽世界》和《糖果粉碎传奇》系列而闻名的动视暴雪及其几位高管，其中包括长期担任首席执行官的Bobby Kotick。</blockquote> The agency is asking for documents including minutes from Activision board meetings since 2019, personnel files of six former employees and separation agreements the company has reached this year with staffers, records show. The SEC is asking for Mr. Kotick’s communications with other senior executives regarding complaints of sexual harassment or discrimination by Activision employees or contractors, the documents show.<blockquote>记录显示，该机构要求提供文件，包括动视暴雪董事会自2019年以来的会议记录、六名前员工的人事档案以及该公司今年与员工达成的离职协议。文件显示，美国证券交易委员会要求科蒂克与其他高级管理人员就动视暴雪员工或承包商的性骚扰或歧视投诉进行沟通。</blockquote> An Activision spokeswoman, Helaine Klasky, on Monday confirmed that the SEC’s investigation concerns “the company’s disclosures regarding employment matters and related issues,” adding that the agency has subpoenaed several current and former employees. “The company is cooperating with the SEC,” the spokeswoman said.<blockquote>动视暴雪发言人Helaine Klasky周一证实，SEC的调查涉及“公司有关雇佣事宜和相关问题的披露”，并补充说该机构已传唤了几名现任和前任员工。“该公司正在与美国证券交易委员会合作，”该发言人表示。</blockquote> An SEC spokeswoman declined to comment.<blockquote>SEC发言人拒绝置评。</blockquote> The probe by the SEC significantly ratchets up the regulatory pressure on Activision, the largest U.S. videogame publisher by market capitalization. The SEC is requesting information to discern whether Activision and its executives properly disclosed allegations of workplace harassment and gender-pay issues, and whether any of that information should have been shared earlier with investors and other parties, according to the documents and people familiar with the investigation.<blockquote>美国证券交易委员会的调查大大增加了美国市值最大的视频游戏发行商动视暴雪的监管压力。据文件和知情人士透露，美国证券交易委员会正在要求提供信息，以确定动视暴雪及其高管是否正确披露了工作场所骚扰和性别薪酬问题的指控，以及这些信息是否应该更早地与投资者和其他各方分享。调查。</blockquote> The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing&nbsp;sued Activision in late July,alleging the company paid women less than their male counterparts and provided them with fewer opportunities to advance. The agency also alleged that Activision ignored complaints by female employees of sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation and maintained a “frat-boy” culture, primarily at its Blizzard Entertainment unit.<blockquote>加州公平就业和住房部于7月下旬起诉动视暴雪，指控该公司支付给女性的工资低于男性同行，并且为她们提供的晋升机会也更少。该机构还声称，动视暴雪无视女性员工对性骚扰、歧视和报复的投诉，并维持“兄弟会”文化，主要是在其暴雪娱乐部门。</blockquote> Activision has said it would fight the charges from the California agency. It initially slammed the lawsuit, saying it included distorted, and in many cases false, descriptions of its past. Employees&nbsp;responded by planning walkouts, and Mr. Kotick said that Activision’s initial response was “tone deaf” and that the company had hired a law firm to investigate the complaints.<blockquote>动视暴雪表示将对抗加州机构的指控。它最初猛烈抨击了这起诉讼，称其包含了对其过去的歪曲，在许多情况下是错误的描述。员工的回应是计划罢工，科蒂克表示，动视暴雪最初的反应是“音盲”，该公司已聘请一家律师事务所来调查这些投诉。</blockquote> Separately, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has been examining allegations of gender-based harassment at Activision since at least May 2020, according to people familiar with the investigation and documents viewed by the Journal.<blockquote>另外，据知情人士透露，至少自2020年5月以来，平等就业机会委员会一直在调查动视暴雪基于性别的骚扰指控。</blockquote> The company is in settlement talks with the agency and could pay millions of dollars to resolve the matter, according to those people. It’s unclear if the federal agency will publicly release the details of its findings.<blockquote>据这些人士透露，该公司正在与该机构进行和解谈判，并可能支付数百万美元来解决此事。目前尚不清楚联邦机构是否会公开发布其调查结果的细节。</blockquote> An EEOC spokesman declined to comment.<blockquote>EEOC发言人拒绝置评。</blockquote> Ms. Klasky of Activision said in a statement that Activision is deeply committed to making the company one of the best, most inclusive places to work.<blockquote>动视暴雪的克拉斯基女士在一份声明中表示，动视暴雪坚定地致力于使公司成为最好、最具包容性的工作场所之一。</blockquote> “We have made and are making a number of important changes to improve our policies and procedures to ensure that there is no place anywhere in our company for discrimination, harassment or unequal treatment of any kind,” the statement said.<blockquote>声明称：“我们已经并正在进行一系列重要变革，以改进我们的政策和程序，确保我们公司的任何地方都不存在任何形式的歧视、骚扰或不平等待遇。”</blockquote> Activision has sought to stabilize its business since the filing of the California lawsuit. The company also is facing lawsuits from some of its investors. Its shares are down about 17% since the suit was made public, closing 4% lower Monday after the Journal reported on the SEC’s investigation and amid a broader decline in tech stocks.<blockquote>自加州提起诉讼以来，动视暴雪一直在寻求稳定其业务。该公司还面临一些投资者的诉讼。自诉讼公开以来，该公司股价已下跌约17%，在《华尔街日报》报道SEC的调查以及科技股普遍下跌后，周一收盘下跌4%。</blockquote> Earlier this month, the Communications Workers of America filed with the National Labor Relations Board against Activision, alleging worker intimidation. The charges include allegations that company management used coercive tactics to prevent its employees from exercising their rights to organize under federal law.<blockquote>本月早些时候，美国通信工人协会向国家劳工关系委员会提起诉讼，指控动视暴雪恐吓工人。这些指控包括指控公司管理层使用胁迫手段阻止员工行使联邦法律规定的组织权利。</blockquote> In a statement Monday, Ms. Klasky said the company has “made great efforts to respect the rights of all employees under the NLRB.”<blockquote>克拉斯基女士在周一的一份声明中表示，该公司“为尊重NLRB规定的所有员工的权利做出了巨大努力”。</blockquote> The same day that the union filed charges, Activision said it hired two senior executives to help it build a more inclusive workplace and grow its revenue. Julie Hodges, a&nbsp;Walt Disney&nbsp;Co.&nbsp;executive, was named chief people officer and Sandeep Dube, a&nbsp;Delta Air Lines&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;executive, was named chief commercial officer. Ms. Hodges, who had oversight of compensation, benefits and talent acquisition at Disney, is filling the role of human resources chief being vacated by Claudine Naughton.<blockquote>在工会提出指控的同一天，动视暴雪表示，它聘请了两名高管来帮助其建立一个更具包容性的工作场所并增加收入。华特迪士尼公司高管朱莉·霍奇斯被任命为首席人力官，达美航空公司高管桑迪普·杜贝被任命为首席商务官。霍奇斯女士负责迪士尼的薪酬、福利和人才招聘，她将填补克劳丁·诺顿(Claudine Naughton)空出的人力资源主管职位。</blockquote> Activision, which is based in Santa Monica, Calif., had roughly 10,000 employees at the end of last year and posted $8 billion in revenue. Its console, computer and mobile games collectively boast nearly 400 million monthly players across 190 countries.<blockquote>总部位于加州圣莫尼卡的Activision去年年底拥有约1万名员工，营收达80亿美元。其游戏机、电脑和手机游戏在190个国家每月拥有近4亿玩家。</blockquote> While the videogame industry has long been known for its male-dominated workplaces and culture, scrutiny from public authorities over the treatment of female employees has increased in recent years.<blockquote>虽然视频游戏行业长期以来以男性主导的工作场所和文化而闻名，但近年来公共当局对女性员工待遇的审查有所增加。</blockquote> The California regulator last month, in an amended complaint, accused Activison of withholding information from internal probes of discrimination and harassment complaints as well as gender pay equity. It also said the company had sought to curtail employees’ rights through “repressive, if not punitive” secret settlements.<blockquote>加州监管机构上个月在一份修订后的诉状中指责Activison在歧视和骚扰投诉以及性别薪酬公平的内部调查中隐瞒信息。它还表示，该公司曾试图通过“压制性（如果不是惩罚性）”的秘密和解来限制员工的权利。</blockquote> An Activision spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the amended complaint.<blockquote>动视暴雪发言人没有立即回应对修订后的投诉发表评论的请求。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>SEC Is Investigating Activision Blizzard Over Workplace Practices, Disclosures<blockquote>SEC正在调查动视暴雪的工作场所行为和披露</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSEC Is Investigating Activision Blizzard Over Workplace Practices, Disclosures<blockquote>SEC正在调查动视暴雪的工作场所行为和披露</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nThe Wall Street Journal2021-09-21 07:35\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nVideogame company also in talks to settle probe by Equal Employment Opportunity Commission<blockquote>视频游戏公司也在谈判解决平等就业机会委员会的调查</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/323cf44261f528e4a2956db2f7da8274\" tg-width=\"1290\" tg-height=\"859\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Activision Blizzard’s offices in Irvine, Calif.

It also said the company had sought to curtail employees’ rights through “repressive, if not punitive” secret settlements.\nAn Activision spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the amended complaint.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"ATVI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2782,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":4,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComment":false,"orderType":2}
