Linus All Tips Meeting posted:Be cautious when you know that one side is bound by legal and ethical disclosure guidelines, when the other is not. Carefully consider what it says about the character of someone who would engage in that type of gossip against someone who has no power to defend themselves. Is he... playing the victim card with this? Which side is which here? Presumably his company is the side that's bound by "legal and ethical" guidelines?

Charles Leclerc posted:No question, it was certifiably stupid that he didn't take the money on the table and it is apex dunning Kruger that this is the situation he finds himself in just months on from that decision. Speaking of, many folks have brought up the $100 million valuation for the company. The only source for this I can find primarily comes from Linus himself, stating that an undisclosed company expressed interest in a $100 million acquisition of LMG. As of now there's been no external validation available, leaving us with only Linus's word to go by. Given the recent instances of misinformation from Linus I wonder if this claim now merits some scepticism.

I know this was mentioned earlier but it bears repeating: HR is there to protect the company and its interest, not the employee, regardless if its in-house or 3rd party HR. Sometimes those interests might align to the complainant, often not. I can only think protecting the company interests is doubly so if the HR department literally shares the bed with the head of the company. Employers often have nepotism rules just for this reason. Even the optics of a potential conflict are something they need to stay away from in case something goes legal, this is right from the most basic local level to the international/HO level.

Rabid Snake posted:It kind of proves that Madison did go to HR about the complaints and they were not taken seriously. Linus knew about the incidents unlike the email he sent to The Verge. And the "trust me bro" attitude ... just wow There’ve been a few posters in this thread the last two days who’ve basically been “Why you mad, bro?” about all of this, and it’s been disappointing but not unsurprising to see. To paraphrase what someone once said about ultrawide monitor users: “ This thread is a stark reminder that Libertarian Techbros continue to move amongst us undetected. They might even be those closest to you. Chilling thought.”

HR protects the company by making sure they can cover their rear end and show that there are all the right policies and trainings in place. So in the worst case, they can throw the accused individual under the bus for not following the rules. Obviously they could just conclude that nothing happened and unless there's a subsequent litigation, that would be it I guess? But if there is a lawsuit later, any coverup could be discovered. So if they do confirm that harassment happened, clearly the policies weren't implemented properly and they'll have sacrifice someone. Is this James guy a manager or something?

well why not posted:I’ll be shocked if James Streib has a job this time next week. So long as nobody specifically names him as a harasser (unless that happened and I missed it already) it won't be too hard for LMG to stall until the internet's attention span runs out and then just mutter some platitudes about moving forward or whatever and nothing will change. Big lmao at that leaked audio indicating that Linus absolutely knew that something was up, though. gently caress him.

So comparing the differences between that twitter post and the original statement given to The Verge is interesting. I may be going a little "red string madman in a detective show" mad here, but there's no "doesn't match our recollection" anymore, and the swap to "we aim to provide a..." rather than "We pride ourselves on maintaining a" safe and inclusive environment. That's curious.

What the gently caress is with small businesses not being able to somehow treat people, especially women, as human beings? How hard is it to have a strict policy of “If you sexually harass anyone, you are immediately fired after an immediate investigation if the allegations are substantiated.” It’s not rocket science, it’s easy to do, and it immediately ends this poo poo. For fucks sake.

I mean if Blizzard and any number of other companies are any indication it's not just small companies that have an issue treating women with respect. FYI James is also the one to make the dancing on the table joke in the leaked meeting that was posted above.
