Ex-Linus Tech Tips employee alleges mistreatment and poor conditions: “no one gets a break” - Dexerto
Ex-Linus Tech Tips employee alleges mistreatment and poor conditions: “no one gets a break” - Dexerto
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 do think a healthy amount of scepticism is healthy here. Her accusations are worded very carefully to not directly target anyone in particular and there is no proof of her accusations nor any way for LMG to dispute her claims because of how they are worded. Not to even mention the timing. It’s all a little too convenient.
That said, scepticism doesn’t mean blind faith in LMG, and it doesn’t mean tearing down the accuser. The new CEO getting an independent investigation is the best thing possible and we should hold our judgement until the result of that investigation.
Not to even mention the timing. It’s all a little too convenient.
The “timing” is “while everybody is discussing the issues within LTT”. That’s a completely reasonable time for an ex-employee to contribute their views.
If you’re presenting “how conversations work” as suspicious, I don’t think that skepticism is healthy at all.
Not to play semantics like the insanely bad take from Linus, but this isn’t just a conversation, her accusations are serious.
I was clearly being unclear, the timing isn’t important here. The me too movement showed that a lot of people who faced some of the same things she did stayed quiet for years.
