Now this is exactly the type of professional language I would expect to see, not the off the cuff defensive language Linus unfortunately resorts to in difficult times.
- Acknowledgement and recognition of the problem. 2) next steps 3) timeframe (they didn’t give a specific timeframe, but did ask for time, which is ok, since they may not know how long it may take).
Serious (no jokes like with previous statements), factual, unbiased, no kneejerk emotional outbursts.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Fanboys were saying “what more do you want from their GN response”, and the answer is this.
Except, a good chunk of comments are complaining because the video has them reading from the teleprompter. So clearly they want perfect off the cuff remarks that also includes actionable items that require team discussion and agreement.
Just to add my agreement to the Floatplane post. This response to the gross behaviors cited by Madison deserve this action plan and transparency.
Look…huff…ok…
eye roll Guys…
I hope the third party releases their findings, for better or for worse
Right now all we really have are “he said, she said” and it’s about very serious topics, so I would like to see what actually happened
To be clear, I’m not saying Madison is lying; what I am saying is I just want the full truth from a 3rd, unbiased party
Having the owners wife as the head of HR probably doesn’t help with reporting anything
I thought it was Colton? In the LTT response video with all the company heads, Colton mentioned HR was under him… Maybe it transferred from Yvonne to Colton at some point?
I heard it transferred 2 years ago…
She is the CFO.
She was head off HR when Madison quit, now it’s Colton along with a third party HR iirc
If I recall correctly, in that recording of the meeting that was on reddit (the one after Madison left) already mentioned third party HR.
But isn’t Colton kind of an idiot? Things must be dire there.
I thought she was primarily head of accounting.
She mentioned being told to put your big girl pants on and honestly i can actually hear Yvonne say sm like that.
Honestly i think Madison spoke from truth but that doesn’t mean everything is toxic. Her perspective is valid and how she felt most important but the actual situations can still include misunderstandings and unclear boundaries between people.
very true, hopefully that’s one of the things they work on in the future
My Corp hired third party investigators. They’ll give you the dirt and suggestions but will not publicly release any of the findings. That’s up to the company that hired them to do and often they bury it or hand wave it away saying the investigation is complete and we have somethings to internalize npah blah blah.
The post literally says they are committed to publishing. I understand everyone’s skepticism of it but at least allow the transgression to happen first.
If you listen to the internal discussion meeting, from when that ex-employee left, they indicate that they have disclosure requirements, or more correctly privacy requirements that prevent them from talking about these issues externally. So even a very thorough investigative report will put them in a position where they can’t publish it unredacted, and the redacted version won’t satisfy the public. It’s a catch-22 situation for them. But I’m glad they’re at least going as far down the path as they can. It’ll be impossible to satisfy everyone, and clear the name entirely, or disprove things even. But they’re doing what they can
LMG isn’t like a lot of other companies, they’re more open
Also, hopefully at least some of the leadership would realize the best way to get out of this is by being open about the problems and how you are working on fixing them
Edit: Of course I’m getting downvoted even though I was right and the CEO said they would publish the findings
Bad moment to say anything positive about LTT, even if it’s true😂
I know… I’m really trying to just be objective, but everyone’s already made up their mind without waiting on the third party investigation or anything
However, if the allegations are true though then it isn’t true and I was wrong
Due to the mentioning of emails, there should absolutely be some sort of paper trail that the investigation will hopefully find to corroborate at least some of her claims
I hope any paper/email trails that shed light on this situation are found and we can just get to the bottom of this quickly, so that the right thing can be done. If Linus/others at LMG are scumbags, I hope they get fired immediately and have to pay for what they did. If not, then I just wonder why Madison was saying these things (not saying it did or didn’t happen, just trying to theorize about all possibilities)

They went to chat gpt and asked: “You are a chief communications officer for a large corporation who has done something bad to its employees, please write a public response”
The genericness of it is awful

disappointing that they didn’t sneak in a sponsored ad (someone had to say it)
