I get that. It's not cool. Very much not cool. But everyone makes mistakes or do some stupid shit like this at some point on their lives and should at least have a chance to make things right no?
They did have a chance. Linus took the chance to respond by making excuses and deflecting blame. For fuck's sake, he said they did not sell the prototype, they auctioned it off. That's not even a valid excuse.
That's true. And I generally don't agree with the practices that have happened. I just hope they'll at least get their shit together and get better at treating their hard working employers. I'm not so much of a pitchfork and torch guy and generally hope for the good in people. LMG certainly got a slap in the face now and a wake-up call it must have been. I just hope it's enough.
