It’s been 3 months, I delayed making any rash decision to cancel my floatplane subscription until the dust settled, but I also don’t want to wait forever…
In reality, any kind of serious investigation will likely take anywhere from four to six months.
First, they need to contact external companies, solicit bids, and decide which company to go with. Depending on response times, the scope of the investigation, and how many companies the corporate bean-counters are requiring, this by itself could easily take a week.
Next, they need to actually schedule time for the company to perform the investigation. This could easily be two months away, simply so the company has time to wrap up any of their current work and devote employees/resources to the investigation. The company can’t just drop all of its existing contracts to take on a new one, and I can guarantee they’re booked out at least a few months in advance.
Third, they need to actually perform the investigation. Depending on the size and scope of the investigation, this could take anywhere from three weeks to three months. Even just performing a one hour interview with every employee could easily take six to eight weeks if it happens during regular business hours. And this is likely going to be a fairly large investigation with dozens of employees to interview, paper trails to follow, social media to dig into, etc…
Lastly, the company needs to compile all of their info into a report. Again, depending on how much data there is to sift through and how broad the investigation is, this could be anywhere from a week to two months. If the allegations are anything to go off of, the report is likely going to be a full spiral notebook worth of info once it’s condensed, so it’s not something that can just happen overnight.One of the more comprehensive answers I’ve seen that accurately explains why real investigations take so long.
In all likelihood, there was never an “investigation”. It felt like something they said to try to calm some of the anger towards them. I doubt we ever hear any updates on this from LTT.
I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised, if what you say is true. It is the typical PR playbook to calm down the shitstorm and then not bring it up, again.
But at the same, they’ve enjoyed a lot of industry goodwill in the past, because we recognized that they’re not IT professionals and were just doing their best. If they don’t do this investigation, that shows they’re not doing their best. And at least personally, I am more than ready to start tearing them a new one for their wild technological incompetence.
I am also waiting, haven’t watched any vids since. I’ll buy a screwdriver or something if the outcome is reasonable, but it really seems like they should have been able to finish the investugation by now.
I almost completely forgot about this… Anyone know what the sich it?
Investigation into what? Not sure what we’re discussing. Is this related to the Gamer’s Nexus hubbub from awhile back?
The accusations of an unfair workplace and of sexual assault that was overlooked.
