World of Warcraft workers have voted to unionize the popular video-game franchise, expanding organized labor’s new foothold at Microsoft Corp. by around 500 employees.
I knew a dude who worked at Activision Blizzard and his description of his workplace sounded horrid. The weird part was his fawning bright eyed love for the office culture. He viewed it as a perfect dream workplace. I don’t even know it there’s a takeaway from all that. It just always struck me as notably odd
Wait, I’m missing something. What does World of Warcraft have in common with Microsoft?
Microsoft purchased Blizzard.

I must have been under a rock.
No wonder they were able to unionize so quickly. And I bet they had to, knowing Microsoft’s track record.
Being under the ActiBlizzard umbrella wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for a lot of employees either.

Sounds like a strange form of Stockholm Syndrome.
