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 think an important thing people forget is even if they hate Linus, there are a lot of other people who work there that will be negatively impacted if LTT is “burnt to the ground”. I am hoping they step up, take the criticism professionaly and improve. Anything else is a major disappointment.

      No one today plans on staying with their company for 20+ years. Every working adult should have an exit strategy for any job from day one.

      If the allegations are true, even more so if you’re working at LTT. If they’re competent, they’ll find another job.

        If they’re competent, they’ll find another job.

        Ironically, one of the things Madison claims is that it was said to her that her coworkers could afford that, while she could not.

        I don’t believe you ever suddenly lost your job.

          Did I claim to? I’m looking at the pattern followed by people who jumped ship from Channel Awesome and Rooster Teeth.

              Are we obligated to support a company they we dont like just because they’re “job creators”?

          And that’s a huge red flag. If they thought so low of her work, they would have fired her.
