This is pretty distressing to read. I am wondering if the upper management referred to is Linus, or someone else. Doesn't really matter much, the buck ultimately stops with him.
It doesn't sound like the kind of culture that Luke would tolerate, and I can't imagine Luke standing by Linus for that either.
It is worth pointing out that there is nothing Linus can do to respond either, if he was responsible he is hardly gonna own it, and if it was another upper management then he probably can't publically name them either. And there is no way any of us can know what is really happening. Madison is basically the only one who can pass judgement. I am very curious as to how Emily has been treated, especially after coming out, but she has a right to privacy and doesn't have to answer to any of us.
I guess the only real answer is for Tarren CEO to rapidly implement a proper HR department and provide a proper recourse. And if Linus is the direct cause of these issues, then really there is nothing that can be done.
Luke wasn’t part of LTT at the time as far as I know.
Sure, but they were still in close, and I assume that if this is about Linus, then he has always been that way, so Luke would know about that side of him.
I dunno, I just don't know. Maybe I am being hopelessly naive. The world is a shittier place today.
Unfortunately without names we don't know who was doing any of the harassing. Why do you say Luke wouldn't tolerate it?
No good reason, he just seems fairly level headed. I could be way wrong though. He has publically call Linus out on his bullshit before.
This could all just be copium speaking, I want it to be a solvable problem, but if it's Linus, I don't think that's really possible. People can change (See: Linus Torvald), but I just dunno if it's possible. And I don't know if Linus Torvald actually changed that much either.
