Many of the allegations in the lawsuit involve Mark Skorupa, a former Blizzard staffer who is one of the named defendants and a current Microsoft employee. Doe was hired as a senior administrative assistant to support Skorupa and another Blizzard employee in the IT department, and according to the lawsuit, Skorupa made sexual comments and advancements toward Doe, including putting his hand on Doe\u2019s lap during a lunch on her first day and giving her long, unwelcomed hugs.<\/p>\n
