I knew things were bad with LTT, but now it's just like a trainwreck all of the sudden.

Come on, LTT. DO BETTER.

Wow... That's pretty damning stuff. Hope she's doing better now, and shame on LTT/LMG.

Sounds like they have no real HR and force people to burn out. The sexist stuff is absolutely horrible.

I've been a fan for years and even went to LTX this year (I had a few issues with the expo but put it down to the companies inexperience doing expos), but I think I'll be unsubscribing now.

Not sure if it's been brought up here... But on their newest video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY) They don't address this at all. And if you try to bring it up in the comments, they get deleted/purged. Pretty shady to actively go out and censor this. Not a good look for LMG at all.

I've made purchases from their store... I get asked all the time about the screwdriver and backpack. Now I feel like shit for supporting them. Now the conversation will need to have a caveat everytime.. "It's a good product... but the company is a toxic ". And that's just sad.

I've read this all the way through now and this is just crazy to me. I honestly expected LTT to give too much work to their employees and have tight deadlines. I've thought that for years. However I'd never think that it was this bad. From verbal assault to sexual assault. It's just way worse than I thought
