Although Neumann started work for Netflix, he was still under contract at Activision overseeing their financial standings at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.neow.in\/news\/images\/uploaded\/2019\/01\/1546457392_spencer_neumann.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"354\" height=\"531\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Activison finally had enough of the disrespect after he continued to ignore his legal responsibilities with them and filed a lawsuit against Netflix to fix the hole Neumann created with their discrepancies that causes competitive harm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn&#8217;t the first time Netflix has recruited executives while under contract with another business. They have had recruiting scandals from other big name companies such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/judge-bars-netflix-from-recruiting-fox-executives-11576092058?mod=article_inline\">Fox<\/a><\/strong>. Activison is asking the court to bar them from cross recruiting other officials within other company ranks. The final decision has yet to be revealed by the courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two companies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/activision-blizzard-sues-netflix-for-allegedly-poaching-its-former-finance-chief-11607123903\">weren&#8217;t always at odds<\/a>, as they had a working relationship in the recent past. In 2016 Netflix and Activison worked together to bring us <strong><em>Skylanders Academy<\/em><\/strong>, an animated series based off a video game that is still available on the streaming network. As it is right now, we probably won&#8217;t see any new collaborations from the two in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who&#8217;s side are you on?
