You can find more information in the post "Madison on why she quit" in this community.

To give a really short and unworthy TLDR Madison was an employee of LMG and have shared her - honestly abysmal and abusive - experience working there.
Some noteworthy quotes:

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"

I was told I was chunky, fat, ugly, stupid. I was called "retarded" I was called a "faggot"

My work was called "dogs--t" I was called "incompetent".

"I think the reason you try to be funny, is because you lack any other skills." smiled then walked away.

I watched co-workers get what I had asked for weeks before they did. It took 2 months to get mine.

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

I sincerely invite you to read the whole thread where she shared her story: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

It seems that the Reddit admins are currently deleting all threads that link to Madison's experience.

I think Reddit might have automatically taken it down based on user reports and the content policy due to this part being taken NSFW?

Thank you! I read most of it in snippets but this is much easier to follow. It's so terrible and was what prompted me to unsubscribe.

I genuinely have no idea. Not even the mods there seem to know, but it was brought back, so maybe an error - or automatic script - of some kind? I fear we'll never know.

You are very welcome. I can only hope that the current visibility of her story will help others, in similar situations of distorted power dynamics, understand that what they are living is nor normal nor acceptable, and give them the courage to right it.
