Decided to check back on things after a coming across a comment saying a month had already gone by. Completely unsurprisingly everything was swept under the rug. The promise to “release findings” seems now nothing but a tactic to shut up anyone calling them out and now they just act like nothing happened.

Who woulda thunk?.

On the quality issues they still manage to fuck up even with all the “new processes” Won’t surprise me if sooner rather than later they just go back to the regular shitshow.

    At the final paragraph:

    Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”

    Clearly say commitment to publish.

      For those kind of allegations, investigation will take significantly longer than a month.

      My mistake, your original quote was “release findings” which isn’t a term in the article.

      From my experience with external audits, they take awhile, but I agree they should post an update about that.

      Searching out outside companies, getting quotes, that’s at least 30 days.

      Whatever company they pick has to have an opening. That could be 30 - 60 days out.

      The company will come in, have a group meeting describing the process. That’s a day.

      They will meet with all Management, All leads, the rest employees at least 15 minutes, maybe 30. Maybe they have one interviewer, maybe they have a team of 10.

      They’ll come back and probably interview whole teams next to see if they find things that they missed individually.

      They’ll meet again with the Management.

      They’ll take another week or two to compile the report.

      If they do it right, that’s 120+ days.

      Until they have the report in hand. Nothing can be said publicly. Those Interviews would get tainted by the company saying anything about it.

      Shit can’t be rushed, even if they came out squeaky clean, they’re going to eat all the bad karma until that comes out, and even then it’s going to leave an indelible mark on people who were already on the fence about watching them.

      I used to watch the WAN show as background sound while I was working with a little news sprinkled in, I really don’t care to stomach them anymore.
