Looks like they found their scapegoat

If you actually engage and listen to the reality of the situation, you will realise its not going to be down to Linus for everything.
Member of staff for their department, took responsibility, thats what would happen in a real business, why do you think its different?

I want a job for whoever you've worked with, neither me nor anybody I've ever known, ever, has had an experience like you describe.

Hmm? https://www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave

You need a crowbar and patience to dismiss someone in the UK for sick leave.

I would think that a joke would be some thing brief and not something that you would require an unwilling employee to manage. (Unless that was part of the unappreciated joke on her).

If memory serves me right, it was an April fools joke. Orginally they were only going to leave it up for a week I think but at the time there was a lot of issues with celebs joining OF, leaving after a week and then people doing charge backs since it is a monthly subscription platform. This was screwing over people on OF as it caused OF the company to be more strict.

So they left it up till the end of the month to avoid screwing over the OF creators even more.

Like i said, scapegoat. Linus was the CEO when all of this was happening. The buck stops with him.

In the GN video they redacted the cost of the block as per Billets request. In the LTT video just released they include the porotype cost in the email they show @13:20...oopsie! Still rushing to firefight the issue without taking into consideration other parties wishes.

I was expecting this tbh, I'm only 5 minutes into the video so far though.
Will see what I think by the time its done..

Sort of related I guess. Quite a long read

But but it was Steve's fault

Maybe

Some of the blind ltt/lmg defenders here

You can tell which people in this place have never run a company or worked with more than 20 people.

Buck stops with him blah blah blah, but mistakes happen in departments at organisations, department leader will take responsibility and focus on resolving the issue, management get involved for oversight and ensure resolution and effectiveness of the resolution.

If Overclockers had something similar where they had not returned a part to a manufacturer and had negative press for 2 days, would you all be calling for the CEO's head there too? I doubt it.

Yeah and cracking a "sponsor" joke 1 minute into an apology video was crass and in incredibly poor taste. Like WTF?

 

[jonneymendoza]

Chances of WAN show being canceled this week as a whole?

I dont think linus wheather he is sacked or not will be making a appearance on YT for a while until things cool down

 

[randal]

What do we do now? Ditch Linus it seems.

Buy Terren's new water bottle. tttstore.com.

What do we do now?

Why are you hoping to sign up for some spicy LTT content?

If it goes ahead it would be in very poor taste considering the just release Twitter thread
