I’m more inclined to trust this account than I am with others because there’s a lot of things she mentioned which are quite synonymous with the ‘tech bro’ industry:
My work was called “dogshit” I was called “incompetent”. When I would reach out to managers and try to get help with these situations, I would be told to “put on my big girl pants” and be “more assertive”.
However, I will withhold my judgement until I hear both sides of the story like always. I also don’t know why she didn’t press criminal charges, I’m sure sexual assault is a crime in Canada and you won’t have to pay legal fees like she mentioned towards the end. And one more thing, she should have mentioned these “managers”, “certain members”, and alleged sex offenders by name.
Why do you say it looks grim? LMG just responded to the quality complaints. This situation is a different beast to tame however.
