August 19, 2023Former Linus Tech Tips employee, Madison Reeve, talked about its toxic work culture and also said that she was sexually harassed during her time at the company. Responding to the same, Linus Tech Tips says that they are conducting an internal assessment and have taken the allegations seriously.
Popular YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips (LTT), that is known for tech reviews as well as news, found itself in the middle of a controversy recently when YouTube channel Gamers Nexus posted a video highlighting concerns about content posted by LTT online. And now, a former employee of LTT has said that the work culture at the company was extremely toxic and that she had once cut her leg open so that she could get a day off without being rebuked for it.
The woman, Madison Reeve, had left the company in 2021 and took to Twitter to talk about her time there recently. In the Twitter thread, she also revealed how she was sexually harassed at LTT and that her mental health was being ruined.
In response to Madison’s allegations, LTT, in a tweet, said that they are conducting an internal assessment and have brought a third party investigator on board to look into the allegations.
Beginning her Twitter (now called X) thread, Reeve wrote that she chose to quit her role at LTT because of its work environment and how it was impacting her mental health. “The number of daily items the Social media role at the time was expected to fill was incredibly high,” she added.
Linus Tech Tips began in 2008 and is known for posting review videos, news videos, and more. The channel has over 15.5 million subscribers and has employees under the Linus Media Group banner.
Talking about how the social media role at the time she was working there was excessively demanding, Reeve wrote, “I was expected to post 3 tweets, 2 Instagram posts, and 2 TikToks minimum per day. I was also expected to plan, film, edit, and post 2 Floatplane exclusives per week. This included wrangling people to be in them when they were also all struggling to get their work done.”
She added that she was also expected to ‘manage, plan, come up with, execute, get approval for, and schedule out all the sponsored content on socials (not including YouTube)’.
Talking about how the company brought her mental health to an ‘all-time low’, she added that she would never recommend anybody to work there after her experience at the office as a woman.
She then added that when she started speaking up for herself, she was asked to agree to a verbal “no drama contract”. Reeve also spoke of being ‘grabbed inappropriately’ at the office and added that when she reported the issue, she was barred from appearing in videos.
