Just a few days ago, Niantic announced a sudden wave of layoffs<\/a>, the cancellation of several games, and left ‘Pok\u00e9mon Go’ as the sole branch the company could rely on to generate profits. Today, to add insult to injury, we have learned that a former employee has filed a sexual discrimination lawsuit against them<\/strong>. Things are not looking good for Niantic, without a doubt. And they have brought it upon themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n

The lawsuit clearly explains that women, especially women of color, were not being paid equally for the same job positions as men within the company. In fact, it directly accuses Niantic of being a “boys’ club.”<\/strong> Let’s not deceive ourselves, this is more common than it seems in an industry that, morally, sometimes appears to be stuck in the era of eight-bit gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, the woman explains that (don’t be alarmed by the figures) she started earning $70,000 annually in February 2020, but eventually ended up with a salary<\/a> of $84,000 when she realized that a male colleague with a lower rank was making more money despite having fewer responsibilities<\/strong>. As you can guess, this finding didn’t sit well with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
