Netflix Sued by Activision for Poaching CFO
“Netflix is facing another executive poaching lawsuit, this time from gaming giant Activision Blizzard over the departure of CFO Spencer Neumann,” report Ashley Cullins and Natalie Jarvey in The Hollywood Reporter’s Labor.
“Activision claims Netflix induced Neumann to breach his employment contract while the CFO was actively involved in negotiations with the streamer on the gamer’s behalf. This marks the third major entertainment company, following Fox and Viacom, to allege Netflix is illegally poaching employees.”
