TechnoTalk: Time to Tech

[Potato]

this blew up massively overnight

LTT made an apology video that is just shit



feels extremely safe and corporate, can't resist putting in a plug to buy their shit, and then you get to the Linus segment and he is STILL defensive and offering whiny excuses

but this video was made before Madison came forward with stories of workplace abuse

Madison's story is at the top of reddit/r/all, twice in fact, one of the most visible news stories on the internet right now

Similar things would happen whenever I requested ANYTHING. I needed more RAM installed in my PC for months because I was expected to edit RED footage.

It took 5 months and a writer being kind enough to do it for me when the numerous requests I sent in were ignored or put off
I would go to management for help and get told I could handle it myself.

Eventually I was pulled into a meeting for insubordination because I had gone around the system for requesting RAM after I was ignored for months and dealing with my PC crashing and losing work daily.

There was an incident where I requested a $15 notebook.

Keep in mind I had made maybe $25 of purchase requests in my ENTIRE time working at this company.

I requested this notebook to help with my "poor time management skills"

denied "you don't need it, you have lined paper"

I was upset and responded back that this was different. "No" then BAM ANOTHER MEETING Madison, why were you rude and non communicative with this manager.

I remember getting told off for taking my sick days, as in the days you're entitled to.

This no days off, "grindset" culminated in the real moment I realized I had to leave.

I purposefully cut my leg open so badly I would have to go to the ER to get it stapled back together.

It was genuinely the only way in my mind to take a day off without being harassed for a reason why.

That person is literally mental. Self-mutilation to get a day off is insane and the person should be committed.
