    I don’t know if firing anyone is going to happen or if it should, but typical corporate training across the board is inevitable. Packing up the old boys club startup mentality too. Consideration of other people’s feelings is extremely lacking. Remember the creator hotel room incident? Stopping for just a minute and realizing how that could be misunderstood would have avoided the issue all together.

        Linus was on location for some trade show or event a few years ago, and was in contact with a female creator to possibly do a collab. Linus had a very tight schedule and didn’t have time to travel anywhere, so someone at LMG asked if she would meet him at his hotel. No one thought about the implication of asking a woman to come to their hotel, and she indeed took it that way and was upset.

          No, this person was asked to meet Linus specifically at the hotel lobby. Meeting someone at a hotel lobby is normal and doesn’t imply anything. A hotel room would be very different. But the hotel lobby is a normal place for people to meet and chat.
