I’m completely out of the loop.

      Also, lets remember that when activison Blizzard got shit about the gigantic amounts of sexual harassment allegations, they pulled a “we investigates ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” and is still avoiding being investigates by independents.

      Immediatly jumping to hire an external investigator is a good move from the CEO, given how low the bar is.

      I can believe the new CEO is surprised since he just stepped in (including the previous months of negotiations) but obviously there are things that Linus hasn’t told him. And since most of the important people at the company are Linus year long friends, they had covered each other up.

      And yeah, self harming to take a sick leave is fucked up, pretty sure denying sick leave to an employee in Canada is ilegal since there they actually give a shit about labour laws.

      Sorry but that sounds like bullshit. There is no logical sequence of actions leading from “your employer being an asshole” into “you having to slash your leg open” which wouldn’t first pass through “handing in your notice”. Unless you are a literal slave.

        If you are in enough mental distress self harm starts looking like a real good idea as an excuse to not go to work. Of course it’s not logical or reasonable. It’s a reaction to stress. It’s an irrational intrusive thought.

        If I hadn’t experienced something similar I would feel a little skeptical. :(
