(OP’s comment)
I’ve been in contact with quite a few LMG employees. Many have given me statements about the abuse and sexual harassment Madison endured while working there.
One of them also gave me a recording of this meeting that was never supposed to be released. This is my proof that I have talked to LMG employees and have sources inside. I post this as verification of that fact.
I cannot out these people or give direct quotes out of fear they will suffer consequences, but I hope they come forward publicly even if it means risking their careers.
I can tell you their accounts match hers. And even go into further detail. One person constantly was mentioned more than others, but she’s not naming names so I won’t either.
She is telling the truth.
This meeting kinda goes along with how she mentioned her being sexually harassed was regarded as he causing drama.
Fuckin A dude this shit is unreal.
First of all, what Madison has stated happened is disgusting.
I listened to the meeting, what is unreal about it? In a meeting with all members, this is what I would expect to hear. What would you expect to be said in this meeting? If you give others a whiff that this might be about you, then you would open yourself to legal issues.
Again, nobody should go through what Madison stated happened. And their processes were unsatisfactory and I’m hoping Terran can actually address it.
There’s literally no context for this being a joke about strippers. All things considered though and with the subject matter of the meeting, ya maybe a little distasteful.
What I would expect:
- Don’t start the meeting by apologizing for being ‘boring and corporate’ as that sends out the wrong message.
- Don’t blame employees for bad company culture. A workplace where people are belittled, bullied, harassed, etc. doesn’t just spring into being, it emerges due to neglect of basic HR needs.
- Information on how you’ll evaluate and change procedures, because they obviously aren’t working.
- Some sort of acknowledgement of psychological harm that has been done by bullying, gossip, etc., instead of just describing it as ‘personal problems’.
- Don’t emphasize your own stated powerlessness. If you’re the CEO, that’s a devastating message for employees. If they get the impression that you’re not in control, they will absolutely not feel safe.
Seems to confirm the fact that the complaints were not seen as more than gossip. This meeting sounds like a not so elaborate attempt at lid installation on a boiling issue.
As I’ve said before in other thread, not surprising.
There is nothing in this audio recording that I find particularly concerning other than James’ comment. It sounds just like a standard meeting that I would have had during a morning brief. Knowing the context of James’ comment was directed at Linus, who is a close friend, probably smirked and kept on going.
When you add the context of sexual harassment, it doesn’t look good and is an inappropriately timed joke. However, nothing about the meeting indicates that it was about sexual harassment in particular from listening to the audio. If I missed it, please inform me.
Maybe it is because I heard these types of conversations frequently, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. They even say you can contact a manager, Linus or Yvonne, or the anonymous hotline. So people have options if they have a problem in particular with leadership.
I am not dismissing that sexual harassment may have taken place, but from the context from the audio given, it doesn’t appear anyone speaking knows about it.
Same thoughts here, I was hoping it’d be some slam dunk evidence to support the stuff we’ve heard but if anything it just makes the waters even murkier. There’s a 3rd party HR firm involved that she could have gone to? She said only Linuses wife was the HR there.
The audio also indicated that many staff members did not know about the anonymous option

They did say they would post it “on general chat” to make everyone aware of it…
Doesn’t look professional. Looks like a family run business meeting in the kitchen of a small restaurant where they blame the staff for all the problems.
