Its all for clicks and views tho so whats the problem??
Here come the parasites
Not enough medical care
Contestants left on stretchers
Wut
Didn’t this guy cure blindness like 6 months ago?? What happened!?
This happens after every single one of his shoots. The actors & extras are treated like shit, the line producers quit, and the conditions suck. He’s obviously waiting until he’s forced to go union. If I’m an employee, or a wanna be extra, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Why on earth people think they can invent a functional production company and safe sets without hiring anyone with a production background or a passing interest in OSHA is baffling to me.
Besides this, I wish all his productions “contractors” would speak to lawyers and get themselves correctly classified as employees, and get the rights they deserve.
I’ve never heard of this man
This guy, should be done. Its all coming out now. All the dodgy shit that hes been doing for years in plain sight.

>“They really believe that they are different, that they are separate from the rest of the entertainment industry,” says Jason Zavaleta, a filmmaker who worked at MrBeast in 2022. “Jimmy gets uncomfortable and gets angry when people use language like PA [production assistant], because it’s too industry.” Instead they’re called FOFs (friends of friends).
>Being different, however, cuts both ways. TIME spoke to a dozen former MrBeast employees, and while all admire Donaldson and his vision, they found the company’s attention to detail slipped when it came to adhering to safety norms or maintaining a healthy work culture. Many had signed NDAs and would not go on the record for fear of angering a powerful company. But several producers mentioned pushback around hiring experts for stunts. “They’d always ask us, well, why?” says Troy Guthrie, who believes he was let go from MrBeast because he kept agitating for safety. Guthrie worked on a global-athletics-contest video where a few contestants were injured, and he was distressed at the construction of the sets. After the shoot, as the friends of friends were cleaning up, he says, one of the huge doors contestants had to run between blew over. A MrBeast spokesperson says the company has never let anyone go for asking about safety, on-set medics “promptly addressed any injuries that arose” during filming, and a safety cord kept the door secured when it came out of its track.
>Scott Brown, a creative producer who worked for MrBeast from March 2023 to August 2023, says that in order to move fast at MrBeast, “they view safety as, like, being overly cautious or a weakness.” He helped produce the “Train vs. Giant Pit” video and believed the safety procedures were insufficient. When he suggested using OSHA protocols for the pit’s considerable drop, “I was told, ‘We don’t need to worry about that,’” he says. Other producers say they were asked to work with explosives, fast cars, and heavy machinery with very little training and on very little notice. “Let’s just say as an 18-year-old,” says Jay Neo, who moved to Greenville from the U.K. to help on the creative team, “it felt weird to be writing on the board ‘Days Without an Accident’ that needed to be updated every day.” A spokesperson for MrBeast did not respond to an inquiry about the board but said “safety is incredibly important and taken very seriously,” and medics and “experienced professionals tailored to the needs of production” are on every set. “The company is OSHA-compliant,” he added.
This was clearly the tip of the iceberg, and this is from a fucking puff piece on the guy.

Reviews by people who worked for Mrbeast, a lot of them saying the same thing.
>”Intense workloads, [unempathetic upper management](https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Reviews/MrBeast-upper-management-Reviews-EI_IE6723666.0,7_KH8,24.htm), horrible HR department, no protection of private employee information, OSHA and dep of labor violations rampant, promotion of unhealthy work”
Is that thumbnail AI generated?
Is beast negligent or psychotic?
He’s got more than enough money to hire pros, the industry has been down for over a year and a half. Zero excuse for this flimflam bullshit
