Comes out right after the ltt tech drama, what a coincidence.
I must say i wass always appalled how he snapped at employees in the “haha I’m kidding” tone. It always felt off to me.

You guys need some worker protection laws, badly.
They should Unionize. Linus keeps talking about how he thinks he should run a company that doesn’t need a union; sounds like he hasn’t met that goal for a long long time.
I have no idea how unions work, but if that union has the same bad apples included wouldn’t it face the same rot, if not more?
union leadership have a different mandate- to advocate for workers and ensure issues like this get dealt with. if the fail to do that, the union will collapse. like I won’t pretend unions are perfect but they’re better than this.
Biggest thing is that if it proper democratized voting then it should be able to address at least some of the rot if the work environment impacts so many people
It might have the same issues as far as misogyny and stuff goes, but a union should be able to remedy the issues with rushing content. Unions usually are just made up of the workers but the bigger ones have independent management that can step in to manage other issues too.
There usually isn’t any money to be made by being a union leader, so there’s no incentive for pieces of shit of this ilk to vie for such a position.

Canada does have decent worker protection laws, and this is all stuff that would likely be taken seriously. But you have to know you have those protections, and being gaslit into thinking you’re in the wrong certainly doesn’t help.

Is anyone surprised? Pretty obvious on the way that guy acts he’s someone to avoid at all costs if not just for being annoying.
Small business owners be like
I think the issues and harassment she faced were very real, and are all very serious complaints.
But calling a job stressful where you had to make six social media posts a day and two fluff videos a week? I mean…
Tech bros being sexist, gropey scumbags
I’m shocked
TBH, I’m not surprised. Linus stance on unions is really weird… My interest in LTTs videos has anyway declined in the last time, maybe I’ll take a break and hope they really change some things.
Props to Madison for speaking out about this!
Been a union member at my workplace for 20years, they only give a shit about pay increases for the workers and Linus pays his workers above minimum wage which is what the union would ask for.
In this economic climate no one will strike for just one person when it’s those members that are part of the problem.
Unions aren’t what they used to be and shouldn’t be treated as such.
You’re the union, it’s not separate from the workers, it is the workers. Not happy with what the union is doing? Get involved.
Your union sucks then. Unions have done all sorts of things besides get more pay. They fight for benefits like vacation and sick time, make sure you can’t be fired without cause, ensure good work/life balance, make your job physically safe, and help bad management be held accountable.
Striking isn’t the only tool in a union’s répertoire. They’ll also do things like help pay for lawyers to fund legal action (hard to do as an individual) and negotiate on your behalf. Most people don’t want to be negotiators (especially the most vulnerable) The union does that undesirable work for you and can often hire experts to do it.
Work to rule is an alternative to striking that is similar but keeps you working. That’s doing exactly what your contract says and nothing more (eg, bus drivers have done it by not collecting fares, but still driving their routes; teachers have done it by only teachong their classes without doing any extra coaching or supervision on the side). And since your comment suggests that people won’t strike because they can’t go without pay, they can also pay you for the duration of a strike.
I know your paid for a strike but not at full pay and people are stupid and live paycheck to paycheck.
In our industry (mining) the government is alot more strict then the union ever is about safety or the government will remove the mining lease and shit the place down (been done to other pits in the area).
We work a rotating roster that the company sent to the union during EA talks and they said yeah that’s fine without consulting the workforce, and it’s been that way since and trying to get the older guys to change to a better roster is a nightmare.
Sick leave and vacation time is government mandated.
You might live in a destopian country with a shitty government but our unions ride the arse of the governments country wide employment mandates and then say they do alot.

I’m not going to put one union on a pedestal for the sake of other unions as there is alot of shitty unions out there.

I never stated I wasonly ever in one union I only stated I have been a union member for near 20years. There has been 3 different unions at my workplace and this 3rd union isn’t any better then the other 2.
Yes unions have gotten workplaces alot better over the last 100 years, but in the last 15years governments have stripped union powers effectiveness. In Australia most of the benifits unions have gotten have been put into law making 1/2 - 3/4 of what they do not anything different to legal requirements making them only good for pay increases and then calling them “benefits for the employees” and in our case in our last EA agreement it was extremely sub par us members forced the union to go back 3 times for a 2% pay increase per year over 5 years.
Unions aren’t what they used to be I don’t know a lot about unions in the US/Canada, but you’re probably right
But I also think it depends on your union, right?
Still better a weak union than no union at all
It also depends on the country they’re in, union culture is still stronger in Canada vs the USA… Heck, labor laws exist everywhere in Canada, just that is a step ahead of the US…
Unions have been stripped of power repeatedly and told to fuck off by governments repeatedly.
In Australia it couldn’t be a more true statement.
So anyone can post a wall of allegations with zero proof and the retards here all take it as fact. Even if it were all true, the way you people jump to conclusions demonstrates the kind of fan base required to keep a company like LTT profitable through all their sloppy content.
So happy that I couldn’t care less about LTT
It has always been that he is a petty bourgeois shit especially after his take on unionization.
does
Anthony(is that still her name?) still work there?Emily I think. Last I checked yes, but she said she was taking some time away from cameras for obvious reasons
She’s Emily now and we haven’t seen her since she came out on camera.
Given the way the internet acts about trans people, that might be her choice, but given all this new info, who the hell knows?
oh shit i didnt even notice, nothing after that one video… tbh i can totally see Linus tell her off to not attract bad actors
She was in one video if I recall, and also in at least one other creators building tour video during LTX. I hope she feels comfortable coming back soon, I’m really looking for a new retro gaming hardware recap. So much has changed recently.
Wow, this is the first time I’m hearing about this and tbh I’m not the slightest bit surprised. I’m actually more surprised that other people are be surprised by her coming out.
She’s Emily now and seems to still work there.
I just saw this morning that LTT on YouTube are doing a live stream to “address the situation”. They have their upper management trying to clean up the mess as best they can. It stinks of soulless corporate BS.
