    Now this is exactly the type of professional language I would expect to see, not the off the cuff defensive language Linus unfortunately resorts to in difficult times.

    1. Acknowledgement and recognition of the problem. 2) next steps 3) timeframe (they didn’t give a specific timeframe, but did ask for time, which is ok, since they may not know how long it may take).

    Serious (no jokes like with previous statements), factual, unbiased, no kneejerk emotional outbursts.

    I hope the third party releases their findings, for better or for worse

    Right now all we really have are “he said, she said” and it’s about very serious topics, so I would like to see what actually happened

    To be clear, I’m not saying Madison is lying; what I am saying is I just want the full truth from a 3rd, unbiased party, so I think hiring an external investigator is the right decision here.

      My Corp hired third party investigators. They’ll give you the dirt and suggestions but will not publicly release any of the findings. That’s up to the company that hired them to do and often they bury it or hand wave it away saying the investigation is complete and we have somethings to internalize npah blah blah.

        LMG isn’t like a lot of other companies, they’re more open

        Also, hopefully at least some of the leadership would realize the best way to get out of this is by being open about the problems and how you are working on fixing them

        Edit: Of course I’m getting downvoted even though I was right and the CEO said they would publish the findings

          Bad moment to say anything positive about LTT, even if it’s true😂

            I know… I’m really trying to just be objective, but everyone’s already made up their mind without waiting on the third party investigation or anything

            However, if the allegations are true though then it isn’t true and I was wrong

      Due to the mentioning of emails, there should absolutely be some sort of paper trail that the investigation will hopefully find to corroborate at least some of her claims

        I hope any paper/email trails that shed light on this situation are found and we can just get to the bottom of this quickly, so that the right thing can be done. If Linus/others at LMG are scumbags, I hope they get fired immediately and have to pay for what they did. If not, then I just wonder why Madison was saying these things (not saying it did or didn’t happen, just trying to theorize about all possibilities)

    They went to chat gpt and asked: “You are a chief communications officer for a large corporation who has done something bad to its employees, please write a public response”

    The genericness of it is awful
