... I suppose the only way to move forward is to see how LMG/LTT responds... Untill then, I've halted all FP subscriptions and unsubbed from all channels. Especially considering the response to GN's piece.

If it's true that all they care about is their bottom line, unsubbing is the best thing you can do.

Sadly Idk how many subs they're gonna lose due to both this and the GN piece. It might not be enough to send a strong enough message.

Seeing all these groupie tech bros in the comments bending over backwards to justify what LTT has done makes me understand why she was afraid to come forward.

Linus has always struck me as fake as FUCK. He acts like every manager I've ever had that completely changes their attitude when behind closed doors. He also seems like his favorite thing in the world is one more penny in his bank account.

Whenever he speaks about the business side of things, work conditions or unions you can feel it, he's a soul crusher. Heck he mentioned something along the line of "Although we don't necessarily respect labor laws all the time, we know we've got good work conditions and if an employee wants to start talking labor laws... Well, two can play this game."

can you ever had people working under you?

I never felt the need to threaten my colleagues who wanted to see their rights respected and I never felt the need to not respect labor laws.

Is that why you were asking?

You didn't answer so no
