    I mean we already knew their staff was overextended, and that upper management has been pushing for velocity at the expense of quality. This has been self evident by the myriad of issues pointed out in Steve’s video.

    What wasn’t already apparent was how horrendously abusive of a workplace LMG appears to actually be. This is quite literally shocking and I honestly think most of the commenters are underreacting, lol.

    This poor girl was sexually assaulted by coworkers/management on multiple occasions. Verbally abused regularly. And she had to self harm to a degree that she needed to go to the ER just to TAKE A DAY OFF FROM WORK.

    I used to work in tech myself, and I’ve heard some horror stories, especially from women in tech. But this is among the worst. If all this is true, LMG is a horrific, toxic, abusive organization and I hope they get sued into the ground.

      It’s been a while since I regularly watched LMG content, so I wasn’t really aware of how many videos they were churning out. Looking at it now, I would assume their staff was much larger than it is.

      Ironically, the harassment/assault/retaliation stuff is the one area they’d benefit from being a bit more corporate. Obviously they aren’t capable of ending it for the purposes of basic human decency. Maybe a liability approach would get through…
