I’m out of the loop on this. Can anyone ELI5 what’s going on with LTT? Don’t have time to watch this long video before work.

Here’s a link for an overview of the whole GamersNexus v LTT thing so far: knowyourmeme.com/…/gamers-nexus-vs-linus-tech-tip…

This is LTT’s response, basically saying: we’ll do better with our labs data / corrections, we’ll fix our relationship w/ Billet Labs, and we’ll take a couple days off from uploads to get our house in order

problem is, one of their ex employee’ Madison posted some serious allegations on LTT’s work environment 2-3 hours before they uploaded and they haven’t addressed that at all.

Was the poor work environment just that they had a quota for videos and it was higher than Madison could get done without feeling stressed out? Or is there more to it?

you can read the whole twitter/x thread here: threadreaderapp.com/…/1691693740254228741.html

but TLDR is:

• Over work
• Mentally draining/abusive workplace
• harassment
• (maybe intentionally) bad management practices
• lack of any signs of improvement

I really don’t know how much of this I can believe. It starts out fairly level headed but becomes increasingly provocative and deranged sounding.

My impression is this person has malicious intent. They are evidently mentally unwell; cutting yourself for a day off work is extreme.

I’m sure there is some truth in here, but I’m not going to dig for it when I just outright disbelieve some of the later statements.

I can believe someone cutting themselves to justify getting time off work, wife used to work in a very toxic workplace and with all the crap and guilt trips she’d get about having a day off work it took either something extremely serious or me telling her she’s that too sick and that there’s no way she’s going in to work for her to call in sick.
