It did not matter if I spoke to someone with evidence of an abuse of power, or inappropriate workplace behavior, it was considered tattle taling.

I was actually called a tattle tale

I was told I was bossy, when I was trying to be assertive. (like I was asked to do)

I was told I was arguing, when I was trying to discuss my point of view.

I was told to "calm my tits", "stop being such a bitch", and other comments to similar effects.

Sounds like he runs a great company.

I'm sorry but once again, an investigation needs to happen with evidence for those claims. If true then the people involved should face repercussions.

  1. As far as I know, no legal charges where made or will be made. So the only investigation will be the one he himself paid for and he doesn't have enough credibility for my to believe him even if he said everything was false.
  2. What what evidence would you personally need to believe that Madison isn't just making it up?
[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Should we believe people just because they claim so? Anyone who makes a claim that something happened to them or someone did X needs to provide evidence. Otherwise anyone can just say anything about anyone.

What evidence would you need to believe her? At least one other former staff member (Colin) said

@suuuoppp's (Madison) posts today in are line with what I remember hearing back when we were colleagues, and it takes mad huevos to post that.

Other former LMG employees like Maxine at the very least liked the tweets where she claimed these things.

Linus held a staff meeting about how to handle HR related issues right after Madison quit. Even though he responded to her accusations by saying her had no idea this was going on.

And if that's not good enough for you, again what evidence do you need to believe her?

Colin's statements should be taken into consideration. Maxine liking a tweet isn't evidence. We need a investigation that takes context into account and not just one person's claims. I'm not saying she's lying or she's truthful. but rather saying that the proper procedure should be taken. And if involved parties are found to have done what she claims then action should be taken against them

An investigation by who?

What evidence do you need?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The one that make taking action against them possible. Liking a tweet and one reply by an employee of a 100 employee company is not it.

I refuse to “cancel” people because of he said she said.

What evidence would you need?

Imo, this kind of situation should be resolved irl, not on Twitter. So yeah, I will wait for the results of the investigation. We'll see what happens when they publish them. I can't tell you what evidence I need, cos I don't know. But I know twitter posts aren't it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You're waiting for an investigation that the accused party paid for?

He came over to my corner and started BERATING HER. Calling her insane, mentally ill, an attention seeker, and just digging into this poor woman who had felt wronged by him.

You really think Linus would admit to doing this if the investigation he paid for and controls said he did do it? That sounds incredibly naive to me.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I’m waiting for the investigation Linus paid for. Is it naive? Maybe. But I rather do that than listen and be on the same side as people like you. Innocent until proven guilty.

Investigation says nothing happened. Okay. Investigation says something happened. Depends what happens after that. They don’t publish anything, we take out our pitchforks.

I don’t think Linus is the kind of person to control an investigation and the results they publish. Maybe I’m wrong, but again I don’t have stake in this. I watch content while playing games in the background. BFD. I’m not gonna make my lives mission trying to convince others that some random content creator is a bad person. It’s not my job to decide that

Yes, I’m waiting for the investigation Linus paid for.

If your just a Linus fanboy I guess there's no point in continuing this conversation. I wish you the best of luck on life though 🖖
