Floatplane response to Madison's allegations
Floatplane response to Madison's allegations
I hope the third party releases their findings, for better or for worse
Right now all we really have are “he said, she said” and it’s about very serious topics, so I would like to see what actually happened
To be clear, I’m not saying Madison is lying; what I am saying is I just want the full truth from a 3rd, unbiased party
She mentioned being told to put your big girl pants on and honestly i can actually hear Yvonne say sm like that.
Honestly i think Madison spoke from truth but that doesn’t mean everything is toxic. Her perspective is valid and how she felt most important but the actual situations can still include misunderstandings and unclear boundaries between people.
LMG isn’t like a lot of other companies, they’re more open
Also, hopefully at least some of the leadership would realize the best way to get out of this is by being open about the problems and how you are working on fixing them
I know… I’m really trying to just be objective, but everyone’s already made up their mind without waiting on the third party investigation or anything
However, if the allegations are true though then it isn’t true and I was wrong
Now this is exactly the type of language I would expect to see, not the off the cuff defensive language Linus unfortunately resorts to in difficult times.
Factual, unbiased, no kneejerk emotional outbursts.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Fanboys were saying “what more do you want from their GN response”, and the answer is this.
They went to chat gpt and asked: “You are a chief communications officer for a large corporation who has done something bad to its employees, please write a public response”
The genericness of it is awful
