Also a full local archive of the LMG employee handbook, because God knows if Linus is gonna cry to imgbb to DFE it.

Spoiler: Linus Media Group Policy Handbook, January 1 2021 version

 

[Susanna]

I’m surprised there are so many “I’ve always thought Linus was a bad employer and this confirms it!” replies. When I commented, during the last hiring frenzy, that LMG seems like an awful employer and people should look elsewhere first, I was inundated with replies calling me a “hater” and “jealous”. I guess even the fanboys are getting fed up.

Here's a fresher archive that includes more Linus dickriders in the replies: https://archive.is/KjD1D

 

[Road Work Ahead]

A few snippets from the employee handbook.


Please don't tell anyone how shit your pay is


I wonder which employee resulted in this policy.


Except for Linus, who invested in framework laptops


There is only one 'x' in doxing Linus.

Please don't tell anyone how shit your pay is

Literally every company says this.

What they wont tell you is that its illegal at least in the US for a company to fire you for discussing compensation with other employees. Id imagine its similar in Cuckanada.

Except for Linus, who invested in framework laptops

Uhh what? LTT is sponsored and works with some incredibly large companies. Maybe im reading that wrong but is he saying his employees cant invest in the likes of Intel or AMD? Or Corsair? Or Google?

So a LMG employee can't own like any tech stocks?

Yes, a non-exhaustive list was included.

I had to read the policy a few times to understand what it is trying to say. Certainly there is no legal basis LMG can stand on if an employee purchases stock of a company LMG reviewed or is involved with. The only thing they can do is fire you for violating this policy which is STUPID.

This would only fly with wet behind the ears new college graduates. No company that I am aware of has this policy. They may put in controls to block you from selling company shares around quarterly financial announcements because you can easily have insider knowledge, but no way do those other companies mentioned would even pull that shit.

Who the fuck is Linus to dictate to anyone what any employee can invest in? Fuck him.

 

[batigol]

I hope those salaries are US$ rather than CA$. Even if it's US$ that's not going to attract anyone with a technical background who's half-decent unless they are starfuckers who want to work at LMG for the internet points. If LMG really has a "pay low and see who leaves" policy, then Linus' intent is to hire starfuckers. Which isn't a great look.

"One video a week" would explain the slow decline in quality.

Remote work, eh, that's company to company (and often office to office). There's some things you really have to be in the office for, so that's nothing super unusual. The key is to have a policy with sufficient flex in it to be reasonable for both parties.

Using a spreadsheet instead of a clocking system is, again, not unusual.

Either you pay by the hour or you pay a salary (even if you pro-rata it out to an equivalent hourly rate). It can't be both. If it's a salary then on "overtime", tough shit, reasonable additional hours are part of the deal for what should be a higher guaranteed (and average) salary. If you're paying by the hour, then do that. Overtime is the flip-side of a lower guaranteed salary. If you're employees are routinely putting in enough overtime that the total pay is too high then either (I) manage projects better, (2) hire more people, or (3) make them salaried. This isn't rocket science, but is a managerial failure.

They only just implemented a retirement program? Even two-bit YouTube companies that employ three people and a hamster manage to have 401K's or equivalent. No excuses there.

A general observation would be that nobody, with very few exceptions, is exempt from the Peter Principle. Whether you hit it early on in your career or after twenty-five years, most people will hit it. This goes for owners of SME's as well, the founder who can take a company to 20 employees may not be the person who can manage it at 80 employees and increasing complexity across multiple business units. It's a different skill-set. Less entrepreneurial, more strategic, process driven, and organizational.

 

[The Great Milenko]

HAHA. This is fucking hilarious.

No, I will not ask my family members (household only?) if they buy and sell stock that someone at sometime mentioned that company's name on LTT before you chose to hire me.
No. I will not periodically update you on what anyone in my family buys and sells.
NO, I WILL NOT SELL MY STOCK IF YOU DECIDE IN THE FUTURE TO MENTION THEM.

Fuck this Canadian faggot. Now I am MATI.

This better be one of Linus' or his wife's alt account.

Nah, just a simp. If Linus was the one reacting to this, he'd make it his profile picture and start selling merch about people criticizing his workplace.

 

[Foghorns at a Funeral]

I am going to bet he is not going to address this and ignore it on WAN show. Instead he will probably have some internal struggle session and passive aggressive memo's, then start contacting a union busting firm for a quote and advice. Linus only wants to LARP as Karl Marx 2, not become him.

This soycuck is literally telling his employees of his shit for brain channel which is utterly meaningless to the likes of Microsoft or Google they cant invest in said companies?



Jesus there are even more obtuse companies listed;

You cant own stock in a fucking car or logistics company if you work for LTT.

HAHA. This is fucking hilarious.
