I am out of the loop on the Madison thing. Anyone care to fill me in? If its possible to do quickly that is.
Basically everything that can go wrong between employee and employer, did. Managerial overreach, ignored complaints, sexual misconduct, deterioration of mental health to the point of self-harm. All of it gas-lit away by her direct superior/s at LMG. She hasn't named names, but someone at the company made her job a living hell, and sabotaged all her attempts at improving her situation to cover their own ass. She had it rough.
Her posts
What weirds me out the most is the onlyfans account. Why force a young woman to manage an onlyfans account, that expressed she didn't want to do it from the start? It couldn't have been important for the brand to have that account, it's a tech channel FFS. This is one of the things that can't be explained away by misunderstandings or misread situations or "just Bois being Bois". This is a manager abusing power in one of the weirdest ways
Yep. That said, when she was there, she was the only employee who was hired specifically to handle the LMG social media accounts.
OnlyFans could be considered to just about fall under that umbrella, to be shoved onto her plate along with all the rest of the way too many tasks she was expected to handle. It was an april fools thing that LMG did a few years back.
She became the lead of a single-person team, given the workload and responsibilities of an entire department, with no-one to delegate to, with just her one voice to protest with. And then her concerns got muffled by someone atop all that.
I can totally imagine how even just one person in a managerial position could do that to her, by simply pulling the right strings to pressure her, and to prevent anyone who'd care from realizing it's happening.
Big yikes. Thank you.
TL;DR: She's a former employee that recently came out to detail her abusive time working for LMG filled with sexism, harassment, and working her to the point that she injured herself just to be able to take a day off work
Oh that's who the self harm references were about. Was wondering wtf. Cheers
