Wow, so the rich guy will get a two month stay at home holiday as punishment? Damn Riot, don't be so cruel! From RPS:
Gelb was the fella alleged to have slapped other men’s testicles, dry humped co-workers, and farted in faces.
Any one of those actions should have been reason enough for immediate, on-the-spot firing. If you can do all that and you are "punished" with a 2 month vacation, what does an exec need to do to get fired from Riot?
I am really glad to hear that Riot is finally taking some action against the individuals involved in this on-going saga since this summer. It has been reported extremely clearly that the sexist...
I am really glad to hear that Riot is finally taking some action against the individuals involved in this on-going saga since this summer.
It has been reported extremely clearly that the sexist and homophobic culture of Riot started from the top executives of the company on down. Hopefully with this action we will start to see some shift at Riot moving forward.
For those unaware of what has led up to this, please see previous discussions here.

Is this actually "real action"? Two months without pay isn't going to mean much to top-level management of one of the most lucrative companies in gaming at the moment. He's the kind of person who had to be told you shouldn't be ball-tapping your employees, so I have to question how effective "training" is going to be.

This is pretty shitty and looks like they are just going to continue covering for their buddies running the company while pushing our or firing employees that are critical of the company policies and culture.

I don't know if executives getting lighter punishments than the rest is necessarily exclusive to Riot. It seems like a common problem nowadays.
If any of us got a reputation for engaging in this sort of behavior at work, we'd be unemployable. This asshole should suffer the same fate.
