Ubisoft workers sympathize with complaints from Activision Blizzard staff
According to court documents, assessed by Waypoint at the time of the incident, the company became aware of the problem when an anonymous company worker showed up at the police headquarters claiming that he had received an email from human resources, which reported about what an unauthorized monitoring device had been found installed in the unisex restrooms, and that Activision was conducting an internal investigation into it. It is not known to this day if this employee acted on behalf of the company, or if he decided to report the labor crime on his own account.
The device in question consisted of two cameras hidden under the pipes of two toilets and at an angle that allowed us to see over them.
