I have been kind of wondering about that investigation. If their HR is already 3rd party, continuing to use them would technically be a 3rd party investigation. Linus said their HR team is investigating, and they're hiring someone outside to investigate, are they hiring two HR firms? I looked at LMG's staff page, and they don't have any HR listed there. Only a Talent & Culture manager and coordinator. Maybe that's HR? Seems doubtful.
I just feel like they might be calling in the same 3rd party HR firm that they've been using, find no evidence, and keep on trucking.
We need a second third party HR team to investigate OUR third party HR team, and make sure they stand up to scrutiny!
They have internal HR now but didn't back then. So bringing in someone new to investigate this sounds like a good step. If they really are serious about this, then it would be one of the only way to get a handle ton this. But of course it all depends on how serious LMG is treating this and how much freedom the investigators have. They could easily try to brush this under the rug when the attention drops. So we'll see I guess.
