LTT Expose by Gamers Nexus

GN and Hadware unboxed are not part of a multi million dollar organisation with unthinkable moving parts! Mistakes can happen in big organisations!
What logic is this? You expect more mistakes from McGraw Hill publications than non-multi million dollar organisations? You expect more contaminated medicines from Pfizer than non-multi million dollar organisations? Because mistakes can happen in big organisations.
 
All I know is had that engineer from LTT not called out GN and had it not gained traction, there would've been no drama today. Such journalistic integrity.
The whole drama is about the tests they do. They don't redo the tests or run benchmarks again, just use old numbers. GN are brutal, if the product is bad they will suggest not to buy it. If its good they will suggest to buy it.

One doesn't expect it to happen. But they do and it has happened with the organisations you mentioned countless times and on graver issues. Issues which sometimes were genuine mistakes even though they are billion dollar corporations with various quality checks. Sometimes upper management has no clue about them because it's humanly impossible to keep track of everything that's happening because of the sheer size of an organization. This is why when a video about a wrongdoing of a certain company goes viral the company immediately tries to correct it. This is not only because their reputation is on the line but it's mostly because upper management literally just found out about it! Unlike some of the companies you mentioned, LTT accepted that there was miscommunication once the matter was brought to light but apparently that's not enough. I'm sure you got the logic I was trying to portray but I thought it best to shed some more clarity.
Most people including you are thinking about it from the perspective of a consumer, viewer and understadably so. But one must also try and look at things from the perspective of a business owner and give them the benefit of the doubt.

You'd benefit from watching the GN video once again, objectively. To paraphrase them, since they have already said it pretty well:

Mistakes happen, and to make them is human. But, to make the same mistakes over and over and over, with no regard to either improving processes to avoid them, learning from them in any way, or having any thought to the impacts of those mistakes as long as they don't impact the bottom line, is why LMG is being lambasted.

Further, if you want to look at it from a business owner's perspective (and trust me, I have), the issues brought to light here, not only the errors and the complete breakdown in internal communication that led to something that was not LMG's property being auctioned off, but the egregious sexism, sexual harassment, and general toxicity of LMG's offices only serve to highlight Linus' complete failure as a leader to ensure his organization kept a positive culture and his failure to ensure processes were in place to avoid errors like this when his org scaled. If you have 100 people vs. 5 people, the processes you relied on for 5 people will not hold up and it's the leader's job to plug those gaps proactively.

And in yet more bad leadership on his part, is his reaction to the entire mess. It just shows how out of his depth he is at actually running something when it's a business, and not a YouTube video channel.

Uhhh, I did not ask whether "one" would expect it or not. I asked whether "you" expect it or not. Given the fact that you are mollycoddling large companies, justifying mistakes just based on their size, handling them with kid gloves, forgiving them for a lack of any attempt to improve themselves - you, specifically you, must treat Pfizer and McGraw Hill as less reliable than their much smaller competitors. If not, why not ?

As far as I am concerned, I've worked at multiple Fortune 100 companies where I was in charge of processes which ensure that human errors in my team do not become company errors. The concept of "checks and balances", automation etc. So I'd keep myself out of it.

So me, just "me", not treating bigger companies as less reliable in comparison to the smaller guy is the same reason why most people (not "you" ofcourse) would prefer buying a phone from a company like Apple or Samsung and not Micromax or iBall or a TV from Sony or Samsung and not iFFalcon or Dyanora despite some of the bigger companies making massive intentional and unintentional mistakes in their past or present. This was my answer to your question and I'm sure you got what I'm talking about but for better context: Apple intentionally made phones slower with updates and Samsung unintentionally installed batteries that blew up in peoples faces (despite their rigorous quality checks). This was mass reported but I still don't see people going on mass exodus of these companies ("you" ofcourse might've). If anything they pay more every year for their latest and greatest because they are STILL better and safer products compared to their smaller counterparts.

Either that or everyone's a hypocrite (except "you" ofcourse.)
