Former TikTok employee Lynda Ouazar is speaking out against the company, alleging a toxic environment of bullying, harassment, and union busting. Along with three former colleagues, she is taking legal action against TikTok, marking the second court case from former UK employees in recent months. Lynda started as a moderator and quality control worker, but was eventually exposed to disturbing content that took a toll on her mental health. Despite claims of support from TikTok, moderators like Lynda felt pressured to work faster and harder, even in the face of distressing content. The accusation of constant monitoring and pressure on moderators has been echoed by others at the company, highlighting the need for change in how employees are treated. Former TikTok employee accuses the company of bullying, harassment, and union busting. This employee, Lynda, who worked at TikTok for two years, joined the United Tech and Allied Workers (UTAW) union and became a union representative. She started to feel bullied and harassed after becoming a union member, leading to a downgrading of her performance rating without proper explanation. Other employees who she recruited to become union members also faced similar patterns of exclusion and bullying.
Lynda emphasizes that working under pressure and speed can lead to errors that affect user safety on the platform. Despite TikTok’s transparency report showing that over 99% of harmful content is removed before being reported, Lynda highlights the negative impact of pressure on moderation accuracy. She also notes that when TikTok announced a restructuring program to change content moderation processes, her team was informed they were at risk.
