Read from Gamesindustry biz:
The complaint was filed by a former Activision Blizzard and Apple employee, who applied for a job at Epic towards the end of 2021.
After four rounds of interviews, she was sent a Request for Outside Activity form that asked her to disclose "any efforts you take outside of work that may overlap with your potential role at Epic." In her response, she mentioned she had been advising members of the Apple Together labour movement, and testifying before the federal government regarding fair labour practices.
Two days later, Epic informed her it chose to give the role to another candidate. "We offered the position to someone else who scored higher in their interviews... The form did not play any role in our decision."
"This candidate's resumé and application included a link to their personal website," "The website details their organising activity, and this information did not factor into our decision to proceed with interviews."
The applicant believes this was due to her advocacy work, telling the Post: " now really distrust the industry at large and feel like my voice, along with the voices of the others in the workplace are seen as a liability, rather than an important part of making great workplaces."
