For anyone interested, in regards to the employee abuse claims. A 3rd party law firm was brought in for an investigation at the expense of LMG. 8 months later the results of the investigation were posted here:
In summary, as confirmed by the investigation, the allegations made against the team were largely unfounded, misleading, and unfair.
Or more specifically the investigation found that:
Claims of bullying and harassment were not substantiated.
Allegations that sexual harassment were ignored or not addressed were false.
Any concerns that were raised were investigated. Furthermore, from reviewing our history, the investigator is confident that if any other concerns had been raised, we would have investigated them.
There was no evidence of “abuse of power” or retaliation. The individual involved may not have agreed with our decisions or performance feedback, but our actions were for legitimate work-related purposes, and our business reasons were valid.
Allegations of process errors and miscommunication while onboarding this individual were partially substantiated, but the investigator found ample documentary evidence of LMG working to rectify the errors and the individual being treated generously and respectfully. When they had questions, they were responded to and addressed.
I’ve never really watched the guy, so I have no dog in this fight. That’s definitely a dumb-as-nails take. Not anything I wouldn’t expect from someone born to moderate wealth running a company, but not especially malicious.
I mean this matter has been settled a century ago, I don’t really think it’s necessary to explain why employees can’t discuss matters with their employers on a level ground

Linus said that he’d consider it a personal failure on his part if his employees feel they need to unionise to get heard
And the Internet Hate Machine interprets this as LINUS STOMPS UNIONS AND WANTS TO FUCK THEM IN THE ASS. DRY.

Being the face of a (multi?)million dollar enterprise AND going live on air once a week without any delay is either really brave or really stupid 😄

Why? Unions are for civil discussion.
