What are you talking about; is your brain broken!? Them throwing shade at established testing sources has nothing to do with allegations of sexual harassment! That's not how causation works...
Or are you one of those "she's lying!" people that never believes women, despite the fact that 81% of US women experience sexual assault/harassment in their lifetime? Glad their new CEO is taking this more seriously than people like you...
No, but the comments by their staff that op was referring to stoked the fire that created all the exposure and I imagine prompted her to come forward too.
Exactly. Thanks for getting it
Jesus Christ you've got a problem. You're picking fights which aren't there.
You have to admit the timing is interesting. Why come forward now, perhaps, if it is true, she never would have felt comfortable coming forward unless she felt that there was public support. I literally think that is the only point the comment was making, and here you are, going off the rails accusing somebody of not caring. That is absolutely not what I read from the comment.
Thank you
I care a lot about this shit. I make damn sure I'm not toxic at work. Especially around women. I've worked as a minority as a man on teams and they are absolutely always just bracing for some dude to be a shithead to them. It's just constantly in the back of their heads, if not the front
I've been a part of a sexual harassment investigation as a witness to someone's terrible treatment and I hope my testimony helped get the guy ultimately fired.
It's something we all have to be good about and speak up about
What in the god damned milky way are you going on about?
Linus's dude shitting on GN about testing -> GN responding with a very thorough takedown of how bad they are with their mistakes, largely because they focus on content quantity even though the employees all say they're too fast and kinda burned out on it -> People chat around how LTT is probably a bad place to work and Linus doesn't care about employees -> Madison sees that the narrative of a bad LTT workplace being accepted and it is a good time to bring up her terrible experience with a very good chance she'll be listened to this time
That's it. The original comment in LTT's video set it in motion. And if Steve never responded I seriously doubt we'd be at a place where people would be talking about how employees there are treated.
But please, continue on with the insults, I'm sure in your not-broken brain it all makes sense.
