My point is that when you are the one ordering an investigation on yourself, usualyl the results are bound to be highly skewed towards what you want.
I’ve seen my government recently do this in a pretty big corruption case that would have made heads roll, as well as a couple other private entities I can think of who have hired “outside investigators” to investigate themselves only to go like what I said.
I’m obviously open to being proven wrong in this case, but the track record of such things isn’t very positive.
Sorry I wasn’t very clear, I just didn’t want to make my comment too big.
Aside from ordering a third party investigator, how else can a company prove to itself and everyone that they are serious about corrective action?
You’re essentially saying they are guilty of everything and no matter the findings which haven’t even begun, there is a conspiracy. I don’t see how that cynicism is productive.
My point is they shouldn’t be the ones doing the auditing (or at least ordering it), it should be an outside source doing it (in this case, I guess a government entity? Or something independent from LMG anyhow).
I’ll gladly admit to being a cynic, but that’s because I’ve worked in similar work environments, quit for very similar reasons and saw nothing being done too. So it’s a sore spot for me too. I can easily see my own bias in this situation.
In any case, we’ll have to wait and see how it pans out. Hopefully for the best is what matters in the end.
A third party isn’t them though. I get what you are saying because LMG writes the check, but realistically that’s the best anyone can do. Why would the government get involved? Specifically why would taxpayers pay to help rehabilitate a private company’s reputation?
Private independent auditors are in every industry and a standard practice.
Oh, and as long as we’re being cynical, let’s say you got your wish and a government entity does the investigation. Odds are they would just contract it out to these same people. Same results, only everyone gets to charge more for their services.
That’s also very true, absolutely not gonna disagree there.
In any case, all we can do is speculate, we will see the end result when it eventually comes out. As long as this brings positive change to LMG as a whole, that’ll be good.
I know it won’t matter overall, but I won’t see the change since I’ve unsubbed to everything LMG related myself (a long time coming, honestly) but I really do wish them all the best.

Your last paragraph really sums up your perspective. Hi staunch capitalist.
Cause it’s gonna be biased towards LMG.
Issue is they’re trying to investigate something from more than two years ago. They’re unlikely to find anything at all in the first place.
That’s also very true, absolutely not gonna disagree there.
