I just can’t believe how bad some workplaces are. A female friend of mine once told me that her boss said to her, in a meeting with others present: “I should throw you down on this table and rape you for suggesting that.”
I don’t care what was said. I don’t care how good that boss’ sense of humor is. I don’t care what kind of hilarity goes on in that office environment. Those words should never be spoken aloud in the workplace (or anywhere).
And as someone who works at a real, adult workplace where such things are not tolerated, I’m just floored to hear these stories. I once told a female coworker that she’d been harsh in a meeting and she fired back that I was being sexist, basically telling her to “smile more.” I shut my mouth and kept my head down for fear of being fired if she reported me.
And other people are threatening rape, calling people n-words, and all this bullshit - and getting away with it? I am just stunned.
“The number of daily items the Social media role at the time was expected to fill was incredibly high.
I was expected to post 3 tweets, 2 Instagram posts, and 2 TikToks minimum per day.
I was also expected to plan, film, edit, and post 2 Floatplane exclusives per week”
I think saying “incredibly high” is an exaggeration
Apprently they have a whole team doing that same output now, so no, it is not exaggerated.
Planning, filming and editing two professional grade videos plus interacting with a community of 15 million people doesn't seem high to you ?
"They're super-terrible to work for and I've just coincidentally chose this period of the company's social implosion to quit and speak up. This is definitely not a bandwagon move. #metooLMG"
In a shocking plot twist, Gamers have no sympathy for an abused and/or manipulated woman.

Update: LMG to hire external investigator on this matter.

She quit 2 years ago.
I absolutely do not wonder where you would have stood during gamergate - with the worst people fathomable.
I probably wouldn't have been standing at all, seeing as how I have no clue what "gamergate" is.
