Also new CEO isn't working...

"As happy as I am that Terren is here, he can't make these changes alone [... many paragraphs later ...] That's also why we brought in an experienced manager, Terren who is offsite this week or I would have brought him in to chat with you guys as well"

So "all hands" in "crisis time"... And the CEO isn't there and hasn't been for the whole week? This is literally where a good CEO should be in house looking at EVERYTHING. Not away on a golf trip or whatever the fuck he's doing.

I think I'm on the same TL;DR... I might find a video interesting enough to watch for entertainment here and there... But at this point I will no longer treat anything I hear from them as actually data. And if the Madison thing turns out to be true, will simply hard block their channel.

I don't think anyone's dumb enough to go on a golf trip during a crisis. Linus wouldn't have defended that and would have fired anyone who would've gone on a golf trip while the rest of the company works their asses off to get LMG back in shape.

I would prefer to assume good faith. Maybe a family member is in critical care? Maybe collaboration with investigators? Maybe legal consultation? All of those are pretty good reasons not to be in the video.

All of those are pretty good reasons not to be in the video.

That's not what I said... Nor what was communicated in the video. I quoted specifically what was stated. Terren who is offsite this week This week != this video. Nor did I pass judgement on him not being in the video (he's a CEO after all... not talent.). I made my judgement based on what was communicated. Not on some wild ass assumption.

You can assume good faith all you want. You certainly didn't bother to read what I wrote in good faith.

When do you think they made the video if not this week?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you think that video took them a week to produce then you're delusional. That likely took them literally a couple hours total that morning.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right? So the CEO is offsite this week. A week runs Mon-Sun. They shot the video probably on Friday.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Right... What's your point? Why is the CEO offsite for a crisis event for his company? His lack of presence in the the video is irrelevant, I'm not sure why you keep bringing it up.

They had 9 days outage... 9 days of effectively no income or work. CEO is not present.

Quid pro quo it would appear.
