Maybe a video for the staff only, so they can do some damage control 😄

How the blazes did they "lose" the silent auction records? At least in the US, anything related to finances needs to be retained. At the very least, the papers should have been photographed or scanned and sent back to the office after the auctions closed.
 
I bet they were trying to figure out who won the water block they weren't supposed to auction off. (Ironic that Linus got all upset about a prototype WAN backpack making its way to a thrift store...)
 
The way I understand the timeline, they were trying to have both options available to make the situation right, and this was before the water block guys accepted financial compensation.

Except they told him they don't want it back since they had already spent money to begin replacing it.
 
Seems like a mess over there.

this seems to line up with a (at time of posting)14 hour old billet labs post on reddit saying that lmg now knows who bought the prototype cooler and offering to try and get it back. and confirming that it isnt in the possession of a competitor company.

Can anyone else confirm getting these emails? Does this mean the auction proceeds were going to be used as a tax credit for LMG?

Unlocked. This thread still needs more attention from the moderation team, but dealing with all the complaints about it being locked is taking up any time that I could commit to cleaning this thread.

We all know these are 'junk'
It's for decluttering, raising money for charity and 'trophy collection' for fans that won (Congrats, mate) decades to come, so I would say it's a win-win situation
The only time it would be a problem is if those junks are wrapped as used-like-new product, added LTT logo to artificially inflate the price and then claim for innovation or something similar to that
 
 

I skipped class to spam F5, so I could score a Whale LAN ticket. Linus and Luke had hyped it up plenty since last year's success. I had never attended a LAN event or LTX before, so I was stoked when I was able to buy my ticket.
 
The expo was a bigger priority for me than the LAN, so there was no way I was skipping that just to play some games. Now, this is a me problem, but I'm quite introverted. I had no clue what was going on except for the tournaments since they were announced. By the time I got out of my shell and figured out how to get into games, it was already midnight. I was able to play some Halo: CE and CoD: MW3 (neither of which I had ever played multiplayer before), but by 3 am it was all crickets. I was under the impression that the previous Whale LAN ran overnight which was the only reason I even bought a ticket. Linus and Luke have repeatedly said to never preorder stuff. Safe to say, buying a ticket without knowing the schedule felt like a preorder.
 
There was also practically no camaraderie that again, I had gotten my hopes falsely up because of listening to the WAN Shows. I had a lot of time to observe others around me and Whale LAN was incredibly fragmented. A great number of people were playing singleplayer games, hoarding their ticket. These tickets, including mine, should have gone to more deserving people which maybe would've made the LAN a better experience.
 
On top of that, the physical stuff like scavenger hunts and IRL Mario Kart were hopeless to get into for me and so were the tournaments. Overall, I had a pretty miserable time counting down the hours for Day Two of the expo to begin watching people hoard the Quest 2's on the stage. My biggest takeaway from the LAN was most humans like to sleep and can't stay up all night, whereas I stayed up 76 hours (sans caffeine) to attend the Expo, which itself was a blast even if the lines were long. I guess LANs are just not for me.
 
 

Assuming it's true I don't think she is trying to "handle" things or even necessarily do damage to LMG. I think she just needed to vent about something she has been forced to bottle up. This seems more about mental health than about trying to make LMG pay.

I believe Madison is a US citizen.,

Anyway, I'm gonna try to stay away from this.
I'm self employed and it's making ME feel like I work at a bad place.

Unfortunate, but I am 100% with you on this one. I really hope she was aware and is prepared for (international?) lawsuit that may span out for the next few years.
 
Someone needs to tell her on Twitter that she needs to start talking to a lawyer, now. Maybe also a well-known press (not a legal advice).

Damn even in this thread the #1 LMG Sycophant is hard at work, to the point of even making sexist remarks too, based.

Do you guys remember Ivan working for ltt? i wonder why he left.

You do understand that each of those social media posts were to be more than a "funny haha" that takes 5 seconds to come up with, right? And same with the floatplane exclusives?

Sigh, if you watched the videos he clearly outlines the reasoning and provides evidence from all parties involved. If you stopped fanboying for ltt for a minute and think then maybe you’ll have an actual conclusion. At this point, you can keep batting for ltt on his forums lol maybe but the next “trust me bro” shirt as well

No, it means that somebody who's been constantly belittled and had their confidence destroyed is in such a state of low mental health that they can't face spending every last penny they have on a court case where it's going to happen all over again.

That's fair, I don't know that I fully believe her allegations either. I just want it to be perfectly clear that this is a known employee and not some random troll who never worked there.

Or it means that she thinks that calling a lawyer will keep her from getting her NEXT job.
 
You know, things people who aren't from wealthy families have to think about!

She isn't a random woman. I recognize the handle from before she was hired. This is her 
 

I just finished reading maddison’s tweets and all i can say is holy shit. They have the worst workplace. I lost it at the inappropriate grabbing and discussions about how she wants to be f***ed. I dont have enough words. God damn, this keeps escalating to levels i did not expect.

I think this is my last straw. Unsubbed from everywhere. to have a place of employment where employee has to injure themselves to take sick days. Awfull deplorible
 
Linus and ltt should be ashamed. We need more employees to come forward and expose this shit show and unionize.

Madison needs her own thread.

The thread is still going at the moment, but the problem with the account is going to be the "injure myself to take a day off" makes, while a primary source, an unreliable narrator for the social/context details. Though the contract details are probably correct. (She used to stream on Twitch but not sure if she has in a long time.)  (Also, there are Worker's Right departments in BC...)
 
I have wondered if some of LMG's hiring practices might end up causing them problems down the line. (Some years ago) We're about to see if that's true.
