Given she was self-harming to get out of work she probably didn't have the frame of mind to pursue criminal charges, and just wanted to put it all behind her.

The unfortunate reality is that we will probably never hear the full story. I hope these are the actions of some other manager, who was dealt with, but we just won't ever know or find out.

This is why companies of all sizes need a seperate HR department, so these problems don't ever escalate as described. I hope LMG gets a HR department with teeth and they can grow and move past this, but it looks pretty grim. Maybe this can be the change that the new CEO can institute.

Why do you say it looks grim? LMG just responded to the quality complaints. This situation is a different beast to tame however.

I don't really care about the quality issues, it's not why I watch LTT vids anyway. They are entertainment first, factual second. When labs is live I'll worry about the quality.

But issues such as the ones described can really spoil their image, and I don't want to watch content associated with those kind of problems.

They did a proper corporate response after GN pointed out how dogshit their first one was which was basically deflection and excuses.

And this is a very different beast indeed especially if higher ups like Linus are involved. That comes with a whole host of legal issues.
