@luizfgarcia91 Opa, @luizfgarcia91 como estão os preços hj?

This thread highlights (a) the stressful production schedule problem (which @GamersNexus highlighted too), and (b) some sexist behaviors that need to be stomped out in tech spheres (well, everywhere, but for some reason it seems to persist more in tech).

To stop the speculation and DM's I am receiving. I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health. The number of daily items the Social media role at the time was expected to fill was incredibly high.

2K 5K 37K 7.0M 4K

I would go to management for help and get told I could handle it myself. Eventually I was pulled into a meeting for insubordination because I had gone around the system for requesting RAM after I was ignored for months and dealing with my PC crashing and losing work daily.

Similar things would happen whenever I requested ANYTHING. I needed more RAM installed in my PC for months because I was expected to edit RED footage. It took 5 months and a writer being kind enough to do it for me when the numerous requests I sent in were ignored or put off

Also remember the corner I was in, people would sneak up on and try to scare me. After the "incident" I was nervous about this and requested a mirror so I could see behind me. I watched co-workers get what I had asked for weeks before they did. It took 2 months to get mine.

After I came forward about being assaulted, Someone accused Linus of inappropriate conduct on twitter. He came over to my corner and started BERATING HER. Calling her insane, mentally ill, an attention seeker, and just digging into this poor woman who had felt wronged by him.

Also apparently some managers didn't like me because I "hadn't gotten drunk with them before" Which was said in that haha just jokin (but actually I'm serious) tone

IE a company is paying you $600, AND $100 they are giving you specifically to spend on their platform for the content. The cut LTT was trying to take was of the total $700 not the $600 that was the ACTUAL payment. I had to talk to multiple people before this was rectified.

I am still angry that for a year I was being forced to sit under them while they weren't doing anything a company would do to really represent you And then somehow a big corporation gets the math wrong on how they should be paying you?

I eventually got all the money back that they would have taken when I called out that their calculations for the cut they should have been taking were being made BEFORE any sort of supplies were re-imbursed Even though in the contracts there was a set aside amount for supplies.

To be clear this meant I couldn't seek any companies to represent me to brands for sponsorships Something important for making a living on twitch or YouTube But LTT also wasn't doing this for me. They were just going to take any traffic I gained myself, make a deal and take a cut

They also forced me to have them as my representation if I wanted to take any sponsors for my Twitch or YouTube channels. Originally I had been told, just make sure you okay things by us for non-compete issues. Then that changed when I moved to take the job.

If you want to say that I am just hopping on a bandwagon, that's fine. It doesn't take away the very real experiences I had, or that sharing these without current events would have gotten me persecuted for attacking a company, most of you until a few days ago, thought was perfect

I was also the one tasked with managing the Only Fans account. Something I said I didn't want to do. I had to read comments from people talking about how they wanted to fuck me and my co workers. I saw peoples dicks, and vagina's. I said no, and was told only a little longer.

It sucks because that was what I had worked for, FOR YEARS, I had tried to get noticed by this big company and this cool guy I respected. Because of that I was willing to get shit on for that job, yelled at, and degraded.

It hurts when people compare where I am now to where I was then because yeah I had a bigger audience, yeah I made more money on Twitch. But I didn't know if I wanted to even exist if the person I had looked up to could treat me and other people I respected like pawns.

The day I handed in my notice was when someone who constantly over stepped me, mislead what I was working on and who I was said to me: "I think the reason you try to be funny, is because you lack any other skills." smiled then walked away. I quit 15 minutes later.

I was asked to twerk for a co-worker at one point. I was told I was chunky, fat, ugly, stupid. I was called "retarded" I was called a "faggot" And at any point I would bring up these comments, I would get told, oh we will have a chat with them. Nothing ever came of it.

I was asked about my sexual history, my boyfriends sexual history, "how I liked to fuck". I was told that certain issues were "sexual tension" and I should just "take the co-worker out on a coffee date to ease it out"

When I read this I was fuming with upset, because what a dick thing to post when you were at least partially aware of the treatment your employee was getting from you higher ups. But, I don't know what I expected from someone who would mock others for not knowing who they were.
