Bungie is being sued by a former HR manager who claims she was fired from the Destiny 2 developer after flagging a potential case of racial discrimination with her supervisors.
As reported by IGN, former Bungie HR manager Ingrid Alm - who joined the studio in May 2022 - filed a complaint in the state of Washington earlier this year, citing retaliation and wrongful termination. Alm alleges she was fired from Bungie after being asked to investigate a Black employee, referred to as "James Smith" in court documents, who responded by saying he felt he was being racially targeted by his supervisor.
As a result, Alm recommended Smith's supervisor receive diversity training, but says her suggestion was met with "hostility and denial" - it's claimed she was told the supervisor had "been there for a long time" and was "highly regarded" - and her recommendation was denied.
