PigglyWigglyEx LTT employee Madison posts on why she left
Maya_Weiss“I purposefully cut my leg open so badly I would have to go to the ER to get it stapled back together.”
Until this moment, I felt like she was pushed around by bunch of sarcastic assholes. But this? While they are still assholes, I do not believe a mentally healthy person do that in this situation. Like, if you are in some horrible prison, in say, russia, yeah, people do cut themselves there to protest against literally torture, but… its freaking Linus team not an army of maniacs in 3rd world country, just leave them, why do you cut yourself?
I feel really bad for her and hope she will find better place (at least that), and not really happy with Linus to put it lightly.
“I’d leave instantly.” Did you read the part about her moving for this job? Or any of the other points that would make it difficult for her to do so?
“…some joke between good friends”: either you need better friends or you need to be a better friend. Making somebody uncomfortable by bringing up sex is not healthy friendship.
“… mentally healthy person…” Yeah, that’s the point, being in an environment like that isn’t conducive to mental health.
I’m not interested in any back and forth with you on these points, just maybe reflect on some things you’re saying and see if you can drum up a little more empathy.
Yeah, that’s the point, being in an environment like that isn’t conducive to mental health.
Cutting yourself because of an asshole, its not normal, that is what I wanted to say. It shows to me, that she was more vulnerable in face of abusers, from the beginning. (it does not remove abuse, it does not make Linus any less responsible, quite opposite, in fact). And if my original message does not show “drumming empathy” in high enough quantities for you, then, I am afraid it is not really my problem.

Weird, until exactly this moment it sounded to me like she was in a horrible prison, but then you mentioned Russia and I was like “wait, isn’t LTT supposed to be operated out of Canada? It couldn’t possibly be this bad there.”
Yes well done, you correctly grasped that she was not mentally well at that point, then somehow failed to understand how that could have happened given everything she just explained to you.
