I am carefully optimistic about this. They addressed the problems and seem to take some time to fix them. I hope they will focus on quality over quantity as they promised.
After all the shit Madison revealed, you’re going to give these creeps a chance?
The PC world truly is a toxic cesspool if you can sand behind these assholes a second longer.
What got revealed?
Madison, a former LMG employee who handled the social media part of the business, posted a series of tweets alleging a slew of accusations of sexual harassment and paints a picture of a very toxic and abusive workplace.
Personally, I don't know how much stock I put into all of that just yet. She didn't come with receipts, so right now that part of the story is still mostly "he said she said" until either Madison posts more details about specific incidents or if LMG responds to her claims directly.
