What started as criticism over errors in recent YouTube videos has escalated into allegations of sexual harassment, prompting the company to hire an outside investigator. - eviltoast

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.”

    I honestly think that it doesn’t matter what we think. Perception is reality for inside the organization and outside. Let the external investigation take place. Implement policies moving forward to protect the employees, leadership, and organizational perception.

      It absolutely matters. The employee chose to take accusations public, rather than following appropriate channels of either the corporate HR or legal authorities. I don’t know how it works up there in Canada, but these accusations get taken seriously in the U.S.

        corp HR is not your friend, especially in a toxic workplace. HR or the lack thereof is what enables a toxic workplace.

        if you can’t understand a victim just want it to blow over and never have to think about it again. then you’re either severely lacking in imagination, or empathy, or both.
