This supports the notion that the issues with quality are due to overextended teams. It sounds like yet another workplace where upstairs decisions are made without consulting the people who will actually do the work, and so the rank and file have to constantly scramble to make up for that. I feel like LTT leadership decided a velocity of content to support certain goals rather than what their resources can actually do.
… And it also seems like they have not outgrown the “early joiners can do whatever they want to whomever they want” problem that plagues companies like this.
I mean we already knew their staff was overextended, and that upper management has been pushing for velocity at the expense of quality. This has been self evident by the myriad of issues pointed out in Steve’s video.
What wasn’t already apparent was how horrendously abusive of a workplace LMG appears to actually be. This is quite literally shocking and I honestly think most of the commenters are underreacting, lol.
This poor girl was sexually assaulted by coworkers/management on multiple occasions. Verbally abused regularly. And she had to self harm to a degree that she needed to go to the ER just to TAKE A DAY OFF FROM WORK.
I used to work in tech myself, and I’ve heard some horror stories, especially from women in tech. But this is among the worst. If all this is true, LMG is a horrific, toxic, abusive organization and I hope they get sued into the ground.
It’s been a while since I regularly watched LMG content, so I wasn’t really aware of how many videos they were churning out. Looking at it now, I would assume their staff was much larger than it is.
Ironically, the harassment/assault/retaliation stuff is the one area they’d benefit from being a bit more corporate. Obviously they aren’t capable of ending it for the purposes of basic human decency. Maybe a liability approach would get through…
Similar to the Amazon “disagree and commit” policy which, if you didn’t know, means you can/should disagree if you feel that way and then you should fall in line and shut up.
