You're probably overestimating the degree to which a hiring manager investigates a candidate, or even cares that a candidate was caught up in what appears to be a mostly political event (as far as we know from public information).

Do you keep track of the month and year of every corporate scandal, and compare it to the resume of all applicants? Or do you just say "oh, you worked at Blizzard huh, do you play WoW?"

Right, but if there’s an applicant from Activision in the next month or so that didn’t leave voluntarily, then it might warrant further inquiry.

Presumably some of these folks will need to try to find work ASAP.

But months or years down the road chances are slim it’ll stick out.

> that didn’t leave voluntarily

How would you know this?

I sure as heck have never volunteered information like that.

Most interviewers ask some version of “why did you leave?” or “did you leave voluntarily?”

Not sure what the repercussions are of simply lying to the interviewer though.
