Activision Blizzard will let studios decide their own COVID vaccine policy
, it didn't say whether its workers' reaction to dropping the vaccine mandate influenced Bulatao's follow-up email. It did say, however, that it will not retaliate against workers who participate in the walkout:
"The health and safety of our employees is at the absolute forefront of everything we do, including our return to office policy. While Activision Blizzard’s U.S. vaccine mandate has been lifted, for the majority of our employees, we are still operating under a voluntary return to office opportunity.
We recognize some employees may be participating in a walkout to express their views. The company supports our employees’ right to express their opinions in a safe and nonthreatening way, and will not retaliate for any decision to participate in this walkout. The company also hopes that those who walk out will conduct themselves in a legal, safe, and nonviolent manner."
