If you live by a Micro Center, their house brand is pretty good.

David_Eight ,

Any debloating you do will probably be reversed by updates eventually. Have you considered installing Linux on their computer as well assuming they use it for just web browsing. Maybe just get them something that runs ChromeOS even 🤷🏻

David_Eight ,

The sexual harassment stuff didn't help either.

David_Eight ,

It did not matter if I spoke to someone with evidence of an abuse of power, or inappropriate workplace behavior, it was considered tattle taling.

I was actually called a tattle tale

I was told I was bossy, when I was trying to be assertive. (like I was asked to do)

I was told I was arguing, when I was trying to discuss my point of view.

I was told to "calm my tits", "stop being such a bitch", and other comments to similar effects.

Sounds like he runs a great company.

  1. As far as I know, no legal charges where made or will be made. So the only investigation will be the one he himself paid for and he doesn't have enough credibility for my to believe him even if he said everything was false.
  2. What what evidence would you personally need to believe that Madison isn't just making it up?
David_Eight ,

What evidence would you need to believe her? At least one other former staff member (Colin) said

@suuuoppp's (Madison) posts today in are line with what I remember hearing back when we were colleagues, and it takes mad huevos to post that.

Other former LMG employees like Maxine at the very least liked the tweets where she claimed these things.

Linus held a staff meeting about how to handle HR related issues right after Madison quit. Even though he responded to her accusations by saying her had no idea this was going on.

And if that's not good enough for you, again what evidence do you need to believe her?

David_Eight ,

An investigation by who?

What evidence do you need?

David_Eight ,

What evidence would you need?

David_Eight ,

You're waiting for an investigation that the accused party paid for?

He came over to my corner and started BERATING HER. Calling her insane, mentally ill, an attention seeker, and just digging into this poor woman who had felt wronged by him.

You really think Linus would admit to doing this if the investigation he paid for and controls said he did do it? That sounds incredibly naive to me.

David_Eight ,

Yes, I’m waiting for the investigation Linus paid for.

If your just a Linus fanboy I guess there's no point in continuing this conversation. I wish you the best of luck on life though 🖖

David_Eight ,

Everybody knows Wendell is the real tech God.

David_Eight ,

Multiple former LTT employees corroborated everything she said.

David_Eight ,

Are you RA tech?

David_Eight ,

No, she never named anyone specifically afaik. LMG isn't so large that she didn't have access to speak with Linus directly though. Also multiple former LMG employees corroborated everything she said about her experience working there.

  • I remember all this stuff was on Twitter(which I don't have) and other social media making it difficult to track down. If I can, I'll post more later.

-EDIT-

  • Here's a thread about Maxine (and others) liking Madison tweets. Maxine also made a somewhat cryptic video right after Madison quit.

  • Tarren coberating a small (somewhat unrelated portion) of Madison's story

  • Meeting about how to handle HR related issues that was held at LMG after Madison quit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/s/bonz62CySh

  • Madison providing responding and providing context to the above meeting

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/s/uTsy6GfcKM

I think it's also important to note that not one current or former LMG employee has come out disputing any of Madisons claims. On the other hand, Linus (or LMG) had been caught lying as per the Gamers Nexus reporting.
