A YouTube channel named “Gamers Nexus” made a video criticisms about LTT hardware Review process.
Due to having the pressure to make videos as quickly as possible, the quality control of hardware reviews has suffered, even with the Lab they assembled for testing hardware and presenting detailed benchmarks.
A startup sent Linux a watercooling prototype to review, but they tried it on a video card it was not designed for, giving bad results.
Then the “sold” the prototype apparently without the full approval of the creators.
Linus was dismissive at first, but now the company has responded and said will take quality control more seriously.
Now an ex employee named Madison came out telling basically that there is a Guy Bros type culture on LTT, where they made inappropriate comments to her, affecting her mental health, overloading her with work because she had the “funny job” of social media managment, and even verbally abused her. Some instances can be considered sexual harassment.
The new CEO of LTT said he was “shocked” by these revelations and will hire an external investigator.
Sorry but that sounds like bullshit. There is no logical sequence of actions leading from “your employer being an asshole” into “you having to slash your leg open” which wouldn’t first pass through “handing in your notice”. Unless you are a literal slave.
But honestly, explain how this makes sense please. Why would anyone physically harm themselves to be able to stay with a company that’s apparently filled with assholes anyway. Money? There’s no paycheck large enough to make me slash my leg for it (edit: well, of course not none whatsoever…but nothing within an order of magnitude of a realistic salary). And surely unemployment benefits must be a thing in Canada too to keep you alive while looking for another job (in case you really feel you have to leave before finding something else).
“”“shocked!”“”
Also, she claims she had to slash open her leg in order to take a day off without being harassed for it.

I don’t know what country you live in but are they accepting immigration?
