Netflix Sued Again for Poaching -- This Time by Activision Blizzard
Netflix is the target of yet another employee-poaching lawsuit. From a report: In a suit on Friday, Activision Blizzard accused the streamer of showing "contempt" for state employment law when it poached the company's chief financial officer two years ago. Netflix has been sued twice before -- by Fox and Viacom -- for allegedly luring away employees who are in the middle of fixed-term agreements. In the latest case, Activision alleges that Netflix hired away CFO Spencer Neumann when he was less than two years into a three-year contract. "Netflix has demonstrated a pattern of caring only about attracting and employing whoever Netflix wants, regardless of whether it violates the law along the way," Activision's lawyers allege. "Netflix's unlawful conduct is not trailblazing or innovative -- it is just reflective of Netflix's contempt for the law of the State of California." The suit notes that Netflix has been making forays into the video game market since 2017, making it a direct competitor with Activision.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
