How do we know the employee wasn't toxic?

Has any other employees come forward. I hate exploitive work places but I'm skeptical about these public mud flinging things now. Its like there's a script they all use when let go.

Nobody knows anything but the people directly involved.

However the allegations sound too much like what other women deal with in shitty, toxic techbro spaces, and it sounds too much like the kind of corporate culture that would put out bullshit "test" numbers, wave off conflicts of interest, and callously torpedo a startup to chase dollars and ego.

Other employees have, the employee handbook was leaked, and before GN did his video that started all this he also did a video where he interviewed LMG employees.

GN did not interview LMG employees.

I checked and can confirm, I can't see any interviews of LMG employees in the last few months and he explicitly states that he did not reach out to anyone from LMG for comment in his latest video.

Yep, he uses the clip that LMG released about interviewing their employees on how it's like to work there.

Her experiences are similar to other workplaces I've been at. Even if she's toxic as you are suggesting, it sounds like there is an extremely rotten company culture.

Can't ask that stuff on here mate, this thread is for shitting on Linus and taking Madisons words at face value. I'm not about to lick LMG's asshole, but you'd think if this were an endemic culture issue that there would be several reports from previous employees (especially if the behavior is as abhorrent as she alleges)

Someone has to be the first person to report something.

I'm looking at the OP getting 100 downvotes for asking a question, lol. :)

If it's one topic you can't say anything about here on Lemmy it's this one, appearently.
