    having a degrading work culture: (from one of his documents)

    No doesn’t mean no

    Let’s not take stuff way out of context. There’s plenty to criticize here (including a toxic work culture, but not because of this) so there’s no need to misrepresent anything.

    This is the paragraph that comes from. I’d say it’s absolutely shitty to whoever they’re bothering though.

    NO DOES NOT MEAN NO

    When dealing with people outside MrBeast Productions never take a No at face value. If we need a store to buy everything inside of and you call the local Dollar tree and the person that answers says “No, you can’t film here”. That literally doesn’t mean shit. Talk to other employees and see if any are fans or if any have kids that are fans, try talking to their boss, their bosses boss, have me dm them on twitter and try their social team, etc. If after all avenues are exhausted you are left with a no, that doesn’t mean don’t try the other dollar trees because the manager of those could be huge fans and willing to bend the rules. Basically what I’m trying to convey is what we call “pushing thru no”. Don’t just stop because one person told you no, stop when all conceivable options are exhausted. This is one of many tools that when combined dramatically improve your probability of success when producing here.

      Ok. So he wants his sales guys to be pushy. Not good behavior but how is this different from anyone else?

      I don’t have a previous opinion because I don’t watch that kind of shit (“philanthropy porn” is a great term for it), but you guys aren’t really selling me on it. I see a bunch of online people jumping right to sociopath and slime, then describing behavior that is all too common, almost normal, and certainly better than most internet slime and sociopaths.

      Seriously? Someone who works for him might be a pedophile so he’s clearly a sociopath?

        No, someone was definitely a pedophile and he still kept them around. Sexual misconduct with a minor aged 1-11. I believe he was even a manager at a point.

        He had them regularly on video, used a fake name, and they even wore a face mask (not surgical/COVID style).

        “Why’s he called Delaware?”

        “Because he’s not allowed back in Delaware.”
