NEWS: Blizzard staff put together an anonymous spreadsheet Friday to compare salaries and pay raises as part of an open revolt against low compensation. While CEO Bobby Kotick makes $40m/year, some Blizzard employees say they can't even make ends meet. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-03/blizzard-workers-share-salaries-in-revolt-over-wage-disparities?srnd=technology-vp

The anonymous document, reviewed by Bloomberg News, contains dozens of employee salaries and pay bumps handed out following a compensation study done at Blizzard last year. Most of the raises are below 10%, significantly less than Blizzard employees said they expected

Blizzard has long had a reputation for underpaying its workers. Although some senior staff can make well over $100k/year, members of many departments have struggled. Lots of Blizzard staff have left for neighboring Riot, Amazon Game Studios, and tech companies for huge pay raises
