Last night, at approximately 2AM ET, a former employee, Madison Reeve, posted a thread on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, accusing Linus Media Group of cultivating a toxic work environment and encouraging a work culture that was detrimental to her health as well as sexual harassment directed at her by Linus Media Group employees.

“I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health,” her statement begins. “My work was called ‘dogshit’ I was called ‘incompetent’. When I would reach out to managers and try to get help with these situations, I would be told to ‘put on my big girl pants’ and be ‘more assertive’.”

Reeve went on to accuse the company of barring her from videos after she reported being “grabbed multiple times in the office” and being told to “calm my tits” and “stop being such a bitch.”

    Good for you to delete that trashy comment on kbin here. For the record this user, https://kbin.social/u/EnderWi99in , went straight for victim blaming. Users like this run kbin.social at risk of being defederated from the rest of lemmy, your behavior is not tolerated.

      Ya, I’ve noticed pretty consistently that kbin.social’s userbase is pretty hardcore dog-shit. Far worse than even the general riffraff of lemmy.world.

      It’s a valid comment. And to immediately attack them for having a reasonable perspective discourages open discussion. It’s chilling effect. Its gatekeeping.
