SCUF responds to sexual harassment allegations from former employee Several hours after a former employee posted allegations of sexual harassment at SCUF, the controller company officially responded. Early in the morning on August 9, 2021, former SCUF employee @vivisquid on Twitter posted a Twitlonger blasting the company. In it, she laid out multiple claims of sexual harassment she allegedly experienced during her time at the Atlanta, Georgia-based company. Former SCUF employee claims years of harassment https:\/\/twitter.com\/vivisquid\/status\/1424684627088846853?s=20 \u201cI still can\u2019t speak about it without breaking down,\u201d she wrote about her experience. \u201cIt\u2019s something I will continue to be affected by for years. I\u2019m really scared to try to get another office job, because I feel like it\u2019s bound to happen again.\u201d What Vivi shares in the Twitlonger is graphic so we won\u2019t be going into the exact details here. However if you read through it, you\u2019ll see it does call out several employees by name. On top of that, she also recounts multiple instances she says made her working life miserable. After posting the Twitlonge, she continued on Twitter, at one point claiming that employees at SCUF weren\u2019t able to access the Human Resources department \u201cwithout permission.\u201d As well as the fact she was still scared to speak out about what happened due to fear of retaliation. https:\/\/twitter.com\/vivisquid\/status\/1424696024275329035?s=20 On top of the harassment she also mentioned racism was a huge issue at the company as well, but added it was a \u201cstory for a different day.\u201d Dexerto was able to corroborate the detail about HR and the allegations of racism from the Twitlonger in particular from another former SCUF employee who requested to remain anonymous for this story. SCUF promises to investigate \u201cinternally\u201d Several hours after Vivi posted the allegations, SCUF responded with an official release of their own claiming they were investigating the matter internally. \u201cThis is something we take extremely seriously and we are urgently investigating this matter to take further additional actions internally,\u201d SCUF said in a statement on Twitter. \u201cSexual harassment, of any kind, is not tolerated at SCUF and we continuously strive for an inclusive and safe work environment.\u201d The gaming world was rocked by the news that Activision-Blizzard is getting sued by the state of California for \u201cfostering an unsafe work environment,\u201d in July of 2021. SCUF isn\u2019t a household name like Blizzard. But, they still sponsor plenty of streamers and content creators and their ads can be found all over Twitch and the gaming side of YouTube. At this point it\u2019s currently unknown what actions SCUF will take, or really what will end up happening next. As this is a developing story, we\u2019ll be sure to post all the updates as they happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
