Realisticly he was brought in last month so he wouldn't have had time to properly analyse the corporate side of the company. Right now this is the best time or a fresh face on the top who could create change from the top down where these kind of discussions now has real weight behind them.
I think the best way to discourage misogyny is to suspend Linus who would be looked at as the source of it for 30 days and demote Colton who failed in his duties to protect every employee at LMG. Get someone outside LMG to manage Human Resources. Maybe one day that trust might return.
Correction to my original comment: up until 7 weeks ago..
But while I'm sure discussions have been started, having been exposed to new leadership in my experience, it does take a while before new leadership can really roll out required changes. Most of the time spent in the first 30-60 days is to listen and understand the lay of the land (which Terren also mentioned). But even then, grave issues like the ones Madison called out usually won't be known to new leadership until later, unless a report/exposure is made (like what Madison did).
LMAO
Now I'm just trying to imagine Terren walking into LMG with a sink 😂
You mean Linus hired the amoral cowboy he learned from.
