What started as criticism over errors in recent YouTube videos has escalated into allegations of sexual harassment, prompting the company to hire an outside investigator. (www.theverge.com)

Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”

Wow quick and decisive action by CEO to call in external investigation. Reading Linus' response, it doesn't even appear that he would consider external investigation. He states that HR would conduct a thorough review. I'll be frank, I don't trust Colton to run the HR review.

I bet once this issue is resolved, we might see Terren bring in external subject matter experts to completely overhaul LMG business operations. HR consultants, Operations and Logistics consultants, Finance, etc. Up until now, LMG was/is run by a self-taught/self-made/learning-on-the-job crew. Can't do that when you're now a corp.

Edit: I would love to sub to a channel called TBT (Terren Business Tips) 😂

Linus hired an experienced CEO who, I'm sure started these kind of discussions of creating a cohesive work environment several months ago.

You mean Linus hired the amoral cowboy he learned from.
