Even if Yvonne or anyone else is solely responsible in upper management, so what? They fire that one person and everything is magically fine? What about that time where at least one person harassed an employee (and it sounds like it's multiple people doing it) and apparently literally everyone ignored it? This is a structural problem, sure there are ways harassers can get into positions of power but there should be no way for them to thrive in them. The instant she was harassed, in a sane company she should have been able to go to someone else in upper management and report that shit, the fact that nothing happened tells us nobody cared.

This on top of the overworking of employees means LMG is dead to me. There is nothing they can do to get out of this, they have been fucking around for years and now they're finding out.

No, I'm not saying that just firing the person makes it right. At best it's the start. I am saying that I want to see evidence of a cultural shift that ensures that what happened to Madison cannot happen again.

I 100% agree that its a structural problem, but that is a solvable problem if LMG really wants to fix it, it will cost money, time and likely require a lot of restructuring, but I don't believe it is impossible.

I'm not confident that will happen, I am just being open to the slim possibility of happening.
