What she definitely hasn't considered.. is how many potential future buyers are watching this... tattle is 99% lurkers!
I almost bought at the last round, I am so so so glad I didn't. I have friends that almost did too... but we thought it was weird LD had so few interactions so we held back. Seemed fishy. But we were close.
She's stupid, or naive for messing up with you guys, but putting future business in jeopardy by handling this so badly, is actually madness.
For someone who is a Social Media expert, she is hugely underestimating the power of the internet, how people actually use it and how long it's gunna be around for. And to say everyone here is a troll, is verrrrrry wrong. It's just a community of people who are smart enough to know there's another side of social media, and who want to acknowledge it, and critique it..It's an industry after all.
And, put simply, if this was my job, and I had done this, I'd be fired. And I would deserve it.
(Can I also say, as a total outsider - you guys ARE the badass boss babes, a bunch of you know a LOT more about business and being a decent human than her/him, and you're absolutely the most incredible group of women, coming together, to fight for something better. You should be damn proud of yourselves. It's hard to be a woman in this world, let alone work on yourself through a pandemic, reach out for help and then have to identity and exit an intimidating and bullying-style situation, as this seems to have been. It's hard to stand up in a crowd when your gut is telling you it's wrong. It's hard to question the cool kids. BUT if any incident has ever shown you that you don't need an insta-coach, I really hope this is it! You were doing everything right - they let you down. Hope it gives you all more confidence to push forward in ways that suit you as individuals
