Ex-Linus Tech Tips employee alleges mistreatment and poor conditions: “no one gets a break” - Dexerto::undefined

I replied this in another thread. Which was downvoted…

It really feels like the pitchforks are out. People want blood and don’t care if the allegations are true or not.

Probably mistakes were made, hopefully just innocent mistakes or bad communication. But it really feels like people don’t care. They see LTT doing well and want to tear them down, even if bringing LTT down will be bad for everyone.

I’ve had a disgruntled employee before. Their version of events was very different to how the rest of the team saw it. If something innocent could have been taken badly it was. I’m not saying that happened here. But let’s investigate and presume innocence.

I think Linus’ little uncut uncensored tantrum just the other day gave you a little taste of what he is like to interact with behind closed doors. The accusations very much aligns with what you would expect from that reaction. Luke says that a part of his job is to reign Linus in. This suggest that these types of outbursts are commonplace in the work place.
I’m a bit out of the loop, is there a video of this outburst/ tantrum still online?
Seconded, I’d want to see that too.

Before the new CEO or whoever managed to get a hold of the situation Linus posted the equivalent of a temper tantrum as an “apology” on the forums. This “apology” featured bangers such as (direct quotes) “We didn’t ‘sell’ the monoblock, but rather auctioned it”, “If you haven’t seen the improvement, frankly I wonder if you’re even looking for it”, “I still disagree the Billet Labs video (…) is an ‘accuracy’ issue. It’s more like I just read the room wrong. We could have retested with perfect accuracy, but [… goes on to bash the Product again for alledgedly being unusable even if properly handled. His Source: trust me bro]”.
