Ex-Linus Media Group employee Madison Reeve has posted a thread on social media on the alleged working culture of Linus Media Group, which is currently under fire for accuracy and ethical concerns.
Ex-Linus Tech Tips employee alleges mistreatment and poor conditions: “no one gets a break” - Dexerto::undefined
I think if you want to cut thru it all, take her direct quotes, the actual events as factual occurrences and draw your conclusions. Then all the colour, like the quote you posted, or her feelings on how she was treated with a grain of salt as perhaps it was just really a bad fit. And someone with a different mindset might not have felt as hurt or attacked. But that is more emotional and some of that is still on the person feeling it (and how strongly).
It 100% sounds like the dynamic was off and Linus was too stupid to see it. Which honestly tracks. Not saying he’s also not a POS (just definitely dumb).
With all that said, the few quotes she posted from them and the events she laid out definitely wreaked of garage startup nonsense. Which is always comical when paired with the air of professionalism when they try to spin the event during crisis mode (as evidence by their absurd code of conduct).
Definitely two sides to the story so the best approach is not to take everything at face value and pre-judge the situation. People should remember how reddit detectives “found” the Boston bomber and how that all turned out for everyone.
LMG needs to tell their side of the story and until then I’ll keep the guillotine at home
These are allegations so until there’s actual evidence (short of taking what she’s saying at face value) the correct response is to wait and see, not reach for pitchforks like Reddit and Twitter have a habit of doing

Maybe, just maybe, there are two sides to this story… Sexism is never acceptable, but something seems off here.

Personally I walk my guillotine every day. It’s good for their constitution.
What fucking two sides to sexual harassment in a workplace?
What possibly can they say?
‘Yes, she is correct, we are sorry’?
And the same people who spew this bullshit also add a little ‘why did she wait until now?’.
As if the reaction is not the immediate answer.
The two sides are:
These are allegations so until there’s actual evidence (short of taking what she’s saying at face value) the correct response is to wait and see, not reach for pitchforks like Reddit and Twitter have a habit of doing
Again - what evidence do you want to see?
Videos? Audio tapes? Confessions from others?
And if nothing like that emerges, will you call her a liar? Simply because even if there was such evidence, it’s most likely not in her possession?
No its sexism, look at the downvotes. They decide.
