Also worth mentioning, it's not unknown for companies to check our your socials.
Especially if you're aiming for a job in social media.
 
If you've called out previous employers before there's a chance they may refuse to hire you and as far as I'm aware no company is forced to admit why they've refused to hire you unless there's a posibility of discrimination such as racism, sexism, ageism or ableism (etc).
You may never even know why you weren't hired.
 
Madison could run into this issue if she wants to persue a career or future jobs in social media or more tech centric companies.
 
I don't agree with companies snooping on your socials but some definitely do.
 
My personal opinion on the situation regardless of who's telling truths or lies is this is not the right way to approach it.
I feel that if I were in a similar situation, I'd want to move on and forget about it and leave it be.
(Edit: For clarification I'm talking that leaving a company is past tense and it's over and done with, obviously if you're experiencing something similar to what Madison suggests then take action while it's either happening or recent history, don't sit on it)
 
Obviously she's receieved DMs etc prompting her for a response, unsure if this is a new surge of DMs where people are poking her to join in on drama.
I honeslty don't think anything she has to say will sway LMG and bring them to their knees or anything crazy, if she's speaking the truth they may have some internal process reviews on how they handle employees but it's unlikely they'd talk publically.
 
A situation like this belongs behind closed doors and follow appropriate processes.
I can't speak for Canada but I do know the UK has employement tribunials allowing ex-exmployees to dispute being fired or unfair treatment though I'm honestly not familiar with them with my limited experience as a line manager.

Just been watching the LTX WAN Show and Linus spoke about the scoring system.
 
One thought I had which would hopefully appease the majority of people and help Linus & Team score better would probably be average scoring?
Break down the experience into multiple 0-5 scores and average them for the final 0-5 score.
 
Possible scores could be:
How easy was it to contact support? 0 - Unable to at all 5 - Well signposted either on product packaging, product webpage or company website. How fast did support respond throughout? 0 - Didn't respond 5 - Live chat resolution or prompt <24hr email response Was the product presented well with adequate documentation and packaging? 0 - Packaging was bad / product was damaged / no documentation 5 - Well packaged to avoid damage / product was in good condition / simple and easy to understand documentation How willing was the company to offer replacements, refunds or other compensation 0 - Refused straight away / Impossible hoops to jump through 5 - Receipt and/or photo of damage/fault was enough without further probing.  
They're just some possible ideas and could be cut down or completely redone to fit the video length and such to help simplify.
Ideally it'd result in a more fair and balanced score and avoid being backed into a corner where you've scored a company higher or lower than you should have done and leave less wiggle room for scoring others fairly.
 
It's of course an idea and others could build upon this or improve it but would love to see this implemented in future to help the score feel a little less arbitary.

100% what I was thinking. It'd also show the strong points and weak points of companies.

I would agree that it needed more categories. Felt like some companies were given to high of a score even though they done a some what bad job.
At least with scoring like above you can see what parts they done well and failed at others.

Yeah,
 
The main issue is getting the data into the cloud with the ability to get rid of old backups and grab a file thats needed at a moments notice.
 
Wasabi looks like a decent storage provider. But again, getting a large amount of data into the cloud reliably is an issue.

I did look into this, however I'm in need of a cold archive system where files can be pulled from within the last 7-10 years due to law and regulation surrounding the data we process where I work.
 
It's a nightmare trying to keep so much data for so long when 1-2TB of data can be produced in one week for one project.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BRINGING US TO 3 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE!!

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ENTERING, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS CRAZY JOURNEY
 
 
EDIT:
 
Alright, we have selected our winners!!!
 
@Plavi and @willp3, you have 72 hours to respond to the DMs I am sending you right now. If we do not receive a reply in that time, new winners will be chosen! Since both said that the Blade would be their choice, it's on a "first replied first served" basis. (for clarity - what this means is that the first winner to reply will get their choice between the two laptops, and the second winner to reply will get the laptop that the first winner did not choose. This does not mean that we're only giving away one laptop...)
 
Thanks everyone.
 
 
EDIT2:
 
Alright, so @Plavi has officially claimed the New Blade! Congrats on winning

But, unfortunately for @willp3, he did not respond in time to claim his prize...

Our new Blade Stealth winner is @ted542! Check your inbox, you have 72 hours to reply
 
 
EDIT3:
 
Both laptops have now been claimed. Thanks for participating in this awesome giveaway, and please be sure to keep an eye out for giveaways in the future!
 
 
Please don't report posts in this topic - all duplicates will be handled before drawing, so if you have double posted, don't worry about it.
