The shit about telling her that she tries to be funny because she doesn't have any other skills. Wow, that's completely fucked up. I couldn't even imagine someone close to me saying something like that let alone someone who has direct authority over me.

Thing is though, if that is true where comedy is one of her strongest aspects, what's wrong with that? She was obviously very fun and charismatic to get noticed by them in the first place, in my opinion people should be put in roles that best suit them and can show off their talents rather then putting them in roles that almost directly set them up for failure. In the videos I saw her in I honestly thought she was very funny and likeable.

Sounds like they needed a zoomer to help liven up the vibe but weren't willing to stop shitty traditionalist work environment that zoomers all around the world are starting to wise up and stand up to.

As much as people want to see (maybe not so much now) LTT as a progressive company, this shit just makes it obvious they are just playing the same capitalist game as every other huge company in the world.

Good job LTT, you managed to go from a home-grown and likeable team to a giant faceless corporation that plays the same game as all of the other big dogs and act just as terrible. Everything your company stood for when it started has been completely shit on and thrown in the dumpster.

Why is it that when companies start making good money, increasing that cash flow becomes the sole focus of all daily operations and and values fall to the wayside? Honestly thought shit like this would be better in Canada than US ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Ironically, their sponsors will now probably pull out and cause the company to collapse.

Greed and the pursuit of profits and "success" are poisonous as all hell. Fuck that system.
