She did write a review on Glassdoor, and Linus downplayed it then IIRC

I know she did, but what I was saying was why didn’t anyone else (on Glassdoor or anywhere else) (also the downplaying isn't very good, it was someone's legitimate feelings even if you/others disagreed with them)

I only see two other reviews on their Glassdoor which are both positive, but that isn’t a lot so it’s hard to draw a definitive conclusion

Sure, it's not a great indication. Everything I've seen so far, and the leaked 2021 meeting with James seeming to have made a sexual joke at the end of a sexual harassment meeting... it's not looking great.

If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck... it might be a duck.

It very well might be... though I hope (less and less now) it's just a weird pigeon

Edit: That recording of the team meeting with James' joke really doesn't help

A former employee of LTT responded to Madison's departure announcement supporting her decision to leave LTT.

Here is the tiktok of the employee vagueposting about a possible toxic work environment. (Name is Maxine).

That link doesn't work cuz the post is deleted, but here's an archive of it

I'm a bit confused on how it supports her decision though, can you explain? (not saying it doesn't, I'm just not into a ton of zoomer tiktok stuff and think there's something I'm missing)

I forgot to mention that she showed support on a different platform, twitter .It all occurred at the same time, that's why I lumped it all together. Can't link since I don't have an account. I'm pretty sure I saw people mentioning Max's twitter support in the comments of the reddit post. It was in the form of a liked tweet which is big because everyone can see your liked tweets.

The old version of the post works but not the redesign for some reason.

Was the support just Max liking the tweet or was it more than that like a comment? I'm not sure I'm fully understanding what you're saying

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Apparently to the zoomers its a big think to like a tweet since everyone can see that you liked it. Its like a sly "retweet". Retweets are when you just post the same tweet to your followers.

I wasn't aware of that leaked meeting. What are you refering to ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There was a meeting the day after Madison quit, and at the end of the meeting, James seems to have made a joke about sexual harassment. It wasn't a great look. That meeting recently leaked.

Ah yes this one. Quite awful indeed.
