Everyone should just be laughing that blizzard can’t even do something as simple as make a token diversity hire without fucking it up.

Along the way the many fuckups of Blizzard started to exist in a weird triple quantum state of making people laugh, making people cringe, and making people angry.

You are such a fucking retard. Get it through your head. It has nothing to do with misogyny. If you are someone who can get a high level executive job it isn't like a rank and file job where you discuss possible comp on the first call with a recruiter. If its too high they would screen you out right there.
I swear to god it is truly painful how ignorant some of you are about corporate structures. They are literally ALL exactly like this. Every single company pulling in revenues exceeding even $50M or $100M with a C-suite and executive staff functions EXACTLY like this.
Credentials don't even have anything to do with it. Lots of top C-Suite at major companies have only undergrad degrees.

I think the message between the lines at the time was that after Morhaime stepping down Brack wasn't even regarded as "C-level" executive, hence he was named "president" and not CEO like Morhaime was.
If it's really true that O'neal and Ybarra did not get a pay rise when they were appointed as new "leadership", plus the fact that Ybarra has been longer at Blizzard and getting paid more thant O'neal: This is very likely just Bobby trying to promote someone to leadership just for optics (internal and external), but not wanting to give them money or any real control.
It totally sounds like Ybarra has nothing to say within Blizzard, except to collect those weekly/monthly reports to Bobby on where the money is going. All the other time he is probably just sending out orders on behalf of Bobby, like Fran Townsend has.

She is a halfbreed panface dyke female, she was chosen because she checked off diversity boxes.

If this is the case, it sounds like she knew her value (as THE female face of the company, promoted to try to calm the shitstorm), went in to negotiate a higher salary, and they flat out said no to anything. She called their bluff and whom ever decided not to play ball is now eating shit. She comes out of it with positive public support and her next job will probably pay huge dividends on this gamble.
She had them over a barrel, and it would be a bit surprising if she didn't ask for some huge bump, far exceeding the other dude's pay, to start the negotiations.

You are unhinged.
If I was choosing a new head of Blizzard, someone who is the head of a studio that does remasters would be a good option.

American Inventor if you were the head of a company it would be filing chapter 13. Shut the fuck up clown. This bitch has no real credits under her belt look at her resume, a top tier executive it is not.

That is the only part of the angle that makes sense. Her initial comp was on her but due to the public facing shenanigans she had leverage for a salary bump. However justified or unjustified it may have been.
However, and this applies to any job, try asking for a 20%+ raise. 99% of the time they will tell you to go fuck yourself but would have no problem hiring someone from outside at the rate you are looking to get promoted to. That's just the way the world works. Whoever she argued with probably just looked at the finances (almost nobody gets 20% raises anywhere) and said no. Without taking into account any of the public outcry she could have made for the company.

Bullshit. You know nothing about the way top end businesses should work. Stay in your potato field.

I just meant in the same way you can see the rates of public employees you should be able to see the rates for all roles at private companies. See its just more fair that way!
This is a joke btw.

She was a promoted divisty hire simple as that once again.
Halfbreed - non white checkmark
Dyke - LGBTMNOP checkmark
Woman - feminism checkmark
She was hired as a beard to cover all the lawsuits, she was promoted to a level of incompetence which she doesn't belong has zero experience as which is probably why they had to colead to begin with.
Then as a typical dumb cunt overestimated her worth. They even gave in and accepted her offer which the White Knight turbo tards keep glossing over. Also at that level you aren't simply negotiating a salary. Hate to break it to failures who have only known an hourly wage but at her level it would be more about stock options and shit. Which she is probably not even smart enough to understand.
Oh but Diablo 2 remastered, well faggots it blows, why do you think it was a fart in the wind. It's just rampant botting and empty lobbies of bots spamming sales and tranny Amazon's. This bitch failed upwards a few too many times and forgot her place.

It's a joke, but it's also not the absolute worst idea. They could publicly put out a range instead of the exact amount and I wouldn't be too upset by it. Yes, Fortune 500 companies are going to have an insanely higher range than your local tire shop. Big deal. It still wouldn't fix the issues these mouth-breathing shitlibs are complaining about because no where in their small little brains have they had to deal with multi-billion dollar executive position interviews and salary negotiations. And they never will.
