When someone posted the x.com/buildzoid1 tweet earlier in this thread I genuinely thought it was a bot posting a shady link:

x.com/buildzoid1/status/1691251880960147456

If you click the share tweet button in the iOS app and copy link, it gives you can x.com url. The same button in the desktop site still serves a twitter.com link

Not sure I would trust the account of someone who does this:

"I purposefully cut my leg open so badly I would have to go to the ER to get it stapled back together."

Just saying neither side is trustworthy without evidence one way or another

Yvonne is in charge of HR at LMG right? I wonder how much she knew (or cared) about a woman in the office being threatened with termination after a month on the job and being called a bitch and told "calm your tits" among other huge problems.

It sounds like a dire place to work.

Someone who just lost her brother, moves to a new country, gets mistreated on the job, and is stressed to the point of self-harm... means she's not trustworthy?

Yes, also i'm not saying she doesn't need or deserve help. Obviously she doesn't seem ok as she makes entirely clear in her own statements. Still right now I would not believe either side without corroborating witnesses/evidence.

Especially when the employer is your husband. This was pointed out as a very obvious conflict of interest when it became known that Yvonne was essentially their entire HR department (not just in charge of it), and I'm not sure if that ever changed.

"This person reacted in a hosed up way under incredibly extreme stress, but I'm going to ignore the fact that stress was created by her employer or even existed, and use their reaction to the stress as a gaslighting tactic". Cool!

Someone here posted that once a company got above 100 employees, they were legally required to have an actual HR department (I have no idea of the legalities of Canada/BC). So it seems they do now.
