So why can't employees talk about pay? Thats just an accidental whoopsie? According to the handbook they have to demonetize their channels if they have youtube channels. Guess thats just another accident? No, its malicious squashing of could-be competition while simulteanously putting their positions on a pedestal. Its classic capitalist tactics.
He's terrified that his employees are going to do to him, what he did at his last place...
Yep, he basically built his empire off the back of his employer. LTT basically uses NCIX inventory for their early videos.
That's not totally accurate. It was initially a symbiotic relationship. Linus was providing marketing for NCIX as well in the early days. That does not detract from the reality that LTT would be nothing without the early support of NCIX.
Wasn’t it a win-win situation?
They can't even say that.. law trumps contract. I had to look that up for vancouver, but..
"employers in B.C. cannot dismiss, suspend, demote, discipline or harass an employee who:

There’s pros and cons for that. Some people argue that employees shouldn’t know what each other pay is because it would create an unfair situation. How? Well, one employee might do a much better work or even work more and for that fact the employer might want to give him a raise but not to his colleague that works less.
The other argument is that you can create an unfair environment where the people who work more get the same pay as the ones who work less, leading them to work less since employee doesn’t want/can’t give the raise to both of them.
Thats not a reason for cloak and dagger tactics. If that employee deserves more pay for the skill and effort they put in it should be announced loudly like they hold the Galaga high score at the local arcade. There is no reason to obfuscate pay unless your employer is being dishonest. Like mine is. I live this dude, everyday. Its all a package deal thats easier to spot than santa clause at a strip joint.
Hello, fellow old person.
If they were actually doing that the ones who doesn’t do anything useful but think they are doing a good job would be mad.
Running a company, leading people is hard. Being honest sometimes is the worst way to go about these matters.
This is the worst take on this matter. No, you should be honest. If that upsets people because they aren't performing you can use that as an opportunity to figure out why they aren't doing well. This should be a mutually beneficial thing. But because people are salty, and because it feels like (feels like, not is) its easier to just hire a new person and toss the current one this leads to employers opting for the cost of a high turn over and bad feelings all around. Dishonesty only pays if you don't think about it at all.
