    I hate on Linus not because he doesn’t like linux, but because he is a bad boss who overworks his employees and has allegations against him.

      He actually became what he hated… at least that’s what he used as an excuse for quitting his day job.

      The allegations are allegations. Its not against him personally but at some of his employees and they hired an independent investigator to investigate the issue. People had issue with perhaps certain things being crunchy and he walked that back and they’re on a more laid back schedule now.

        It did not matter if I spoke to someone with evidence of an abuse of power, or inappropriate workplace behavior, it was considered tattle taling.

        I was actually called a tattle tale

        I was told I was bossy, when I was trying to be assertive. (like I was asked to do)

        I was told I was arguing, when I was trying to discuss my point of view.

        I was told to “calm my tits”, “stop being such a bitch”, and other comments to similar effects.

        Sounds like he runs a great company.

          I’m sorry but once again, an investigation needs to happen with evidence for those claims. If true then the people involved should face repercussions.

            1. As far as I know, no legal charges where made or will be made. So the only investigation will be the one he himself paid for and he doesn’t have enough credibility for my to believe him even if he said everything was false.
            2. What what evidence would you personally need to believe that Madison isn’t just making it up?

              Should we believe people just because they claim so? Anyone who makes a claim that something happened to them or someone did X needs to provide evidence. Otherwise anyone can just say anything about anyone.

                What evidence would you need to believe her? At least one other former staff member (Colin) said

                @suuuoppp’s (Madison) posts today in are line with what I remember hearing back when we were colleagues, and it takes mad huevos to post that.

                Other former LMG employees like Maxine at the very least liked the tweets where she claimed these things.

                Linus held a staff meeting about how to handle HR related issues right after Madison quit. Even though he responded to her accusations by saying her had no idea this was going on.

                And if that’s not good enough for you, again what evidence do you need to believe her?

                  Colin’s statements should be taken into consideration. Maxine liking a tweet isn’t evidence. We need a investigation that takes context into account and not just one person’s claims. I’m not saying she’s lying or she’s truthful. but rather saying that the proper procedure should be taken. And if involved parties are found to have done what she claims then action should be taken against them
