An Ex-employee at LTT took to social media platform X (formally Twitter), which explained the toxic work environment and reason at her company Linus Tech Tips (LTT).
Recently, an Ex-employee Madison took to social media platform X (formally Twitter) saying, “To stop the speculation and DM’s I am receiving. I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health. The number of daily items the Social media role at the time was expected to fill was incredibly high.”
“I was expected to post 3 tweets, 2 Instagram posts, and 2 TikToks minimum per day. I was also expected to plan, film, edit, and post 2 Floatplane exclusives per week. This included wrangling people to be in them when they were also all struggling to get their work done”, the post added.
The post further added, “I was also expected to manage, plan, come up with, execute, get approval for, and schedule out all the sponsored content on socials (not including YouTube) All while being told not to complain because my job was “the fun job”.
“I cannot speak on what it’s like now, but they have an entire team working on (seemingly) what I was expected to accomplish alone. I misspoke originally when I stated I had signed an NDA. (I thought the employee handbook acted as one, I am not a lawyer)”, the post added.
“I never publicly made any statements regarding my time there because I feared even more backlash from a community that was already attacking, defaming, and sending me death threats. I also feared for my future in this career given that LTT is large and has industry connections”, the post added.
“My time at this company brought my mental health to an all-time low. You could talk to anyone who was around me during my employment and they would confirm it”, an Ex-employee Madison said.
“I would not have recommended anyone I knew to work there, especially with my experiences as a woman in the office. I was consistently belittled by certain members of upper management. My work was called “dogshit” and I was called “incompetent”. When I would reach out to managers and try to get help with these situations, I would be told to “put on my big girl pants” and be “more assertive”, the post added.
“It doesn’t matter if you think I am, or am not stupid. This behavior is not appropriate. After enough complaints from me, I was pulled into a meeting. There is this perplexing fear that people will leave LTT and start their own thing if given a platform. So if that platform could threaten negative things coming out about your company or you, you’d probably want to squash it too”, the post said.
I remember he posted this in response to people speculating something wrong had happened to me.
