Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”

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.

How many times are you going to give them the benefit of doubt?

[-] TBi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Honestly getting close to not hinging any more. But will see how it goes. I like the content and am hoping the truth has a nuance that we are missing. Let’s see.

I like the content

Huh, you like wrong and misleading data then. Hmm ok.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

fuck that. It does. not. matter. if people were making jokes or had good intentions and it was interpreted differently by other people. A person that overhears or is the recipient of that behavior has every right to feel the way they do, and it does not matter if the version of events are different. If you had a "disgruntled employee" and chose to ignore it rather than revise policy, then fuck you too.

Yep, this is and was always when something came up with LTT, people going ape shit, with no clue and do not care but they emotional believe
