If this is true this is bad. Like, really bad
I say "if" just because I don't really know what the facts are, I just know what some people are claiming
To be clear, I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm just saying that, at the moment, it's just Madison saying these things did happen and Linus essentially saying they didn't
My question is if she had such a bad experience, why hasn't anyone else said anything, or at least put a negative review on Glassdoor or something? Did she just have a awful experience that was unusual, or is everyone/a large number of people treated like this? I don't think it's the second or it would've come out already and from more than one source (and the turnover is pretty low for LMG if I'm not mistaken, so that also doesn't make sense), but I don't really know. That's really the crux of the situation, is I just don't know. I'm glad they got an outside investigator though; hopefully that'll clear everything up
Honestly, when you're being massacred at your job and leave it the last thing you want is to talk about it. Also your judgement is clouded and you have an insane fear that your employer could ruin your chances of ever getting a new job again at the same field of work - specially one as jug as LMG.
Think about it, management ruined your life while dealing with them everyday. Why wouldn't they ruin if they could without even needing to see you again?
The thing is, you'd espect more people to leave the place if it's abusive. Hopefully they will be able to clear the air and enact some real consequences.
Nothing is black and white, man. People endure abusive abuse places if they grow into it, or if they can’t see any other clear option. It’s a little easier to jump if you just arrived, because that thing becomes absurdly apparent.
I guess you're right. The contrast between people raving about working for Linus in the past and some of the information coming to light now is just too dissonant to process for me.
