@magnor Phew ... Looks like there isn't everything shiny there.
Understatement of the fucking century. I mean I know they got some data wrong but this is Blizzard level of workplace harassment.
With the assault and shit that's straight up criminally illegal.
I'm so sorry for her; she probably geht's the love she deserves now but it shouldn't have taken so long and it's time to start from scratch with this company.
Edit: See my other comment below, looks like in Canada the legal system can fuck you over with legal costs in these matters https://lemmy.zip/comment/1760082
It is. So where is the police report? She said she was groped on several occasions (which is sexual assault) and quit the job by her own decision, so why not throw the men who groped her under the bus?
I 100% get the fear of a witch hunt from LTT fans (which are overall dumb and rabid most of the time, just read the YouTube comments), but now that she openly accuses them she should file a police report.
Otherwise this is just throwing accusations around at an opportune time, I'd much rather have this proven in court and the men punished (which would also uncover more systemic problems inside of LTT).
Linus did say a year ago:
Now that she openly accuses them I'd expect some action there to go with.
She will almost certainly find it very, very hard to prove the offence. Police and courts are usually reluctant to prosecute something on a 'he said, she said' basis. I can see why she'd not go down the police route with that, without even taking into account the massive power imbalance in terms of wealth / influence
Regarding Canada, I do find this: https://globalnews.ca/content/8797002/can-you-get-fired-recording-conversations-work/
So it seems 100% legal to record yourself even at work. Both audio and video? Which would make it rather easy to provide at least some proof (verbal abuse mostly, but if someone groped her at her desk then filming that might have worked too).
She also wrote:
I had co-workers come to me saying "I didn't like how you were treated, glad you got out." And only then did I realize it wasn't me.
So that would mean there might be additional witnesses? I'm really hoping several of them actually come forward and talk about this then.
Sounds like she got witch-hunted tbh. Management was unhappy with Linus hiring her without going through the proper channels and pushed her out.
