    There is no way. Too many corp answers that were nothing but words have been published before for anyone to not be cynic about it.

      To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I have read a statement that talked about bringing in third party investigators. Is that common for corporations?

        It’s usually something agreed to in a settlement or in a power dynamic situation like Apple telling a supplier they want a third party audit. It also happens when you have no intention of ever publishing the findings. That they’re proactively doing it with the obvious obligation to publish what is found and the consequence of it is most def a show of positive character. I think ya boy Hanlon is right when it comes to leadership at LMG - never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

      But how to make it better? Do you just want LMG to disappear and leave 100 employers jobless, because that’s not nice either.

          Based on the response above they’re trying to do exactly that now. So maybe wait and see?

        Yes. This. Because something else will rise in LMG’s place. Because other companies will see what happened and say we cannot let that happen here, because we don’t want a salted desert where our offices are. Because we don’t want our company to be a synonym for a fallen tower.

        If abuse of employees led to business collapses, then we wouldn’t have edifices like Ubisoft who swim in their lucre while still perpetuating sex abuse rings among the upper management who take their choice of hot office clerks.

        A company of a hundred employees getting razed over a scandal would indeed serve to spare tens of thousands of jobs more and allow developers to develop in peace without getting harassed by their management.
