I think it’s great if you can feel like you and your *coworkers* have some sort of family. that’s dope, but there is no situation where an employee truly can be, or should be made to feel as though they should be, in that situation with their employer. as a worker you owe your solidarity and your support to your fellow workers. the only thing you owe your employer is the completion of the tasks you agreed to complete, there is no, should be no, and can be no relationship beyond that.

Absolutely mind blowing that companies would rather deal with PR nightmares and possibly losing/hemorrhaging funds than doing the right thing to retain their staff. I’m a nurse and not a single for-profit company gives a shit about us, nor do they listen when we want to speak up about the sometimes abhorrent conditions of our workplaces either, and it’s just incredibly sad and disheartening. Especially when you’re a dedicated employee who is just trying to do what you love, or need to do to get by in this wack ass world. He and his company must be confident in this blowing over or like nothing will come of it, and I hope they’re wrong. No one deserves to be traumatized at work. Ugh I can’t stand the way companies work and how utterly selfish and heartless people are. Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.

[@isharaj-silverman2411]

For context, I'm a non-union actor and I work for a production company MUCH smaller than Dhar Mann and I make $45/hr with strict shooting hours agreed to about a week before shooting. Acting is fundamentally unstable, and you often don't work a full day, so you either need a holding fee, a day rate, or have a strict shooting schedule so you know how much you're making. $33/hr with none of that is incredibly unethical.

[@jurassica2504]

The union for actors is complicated because once you're in the union you can only do union jobs, and you can only be in the union if you book a union job. For newer actors, you generally build up experience in non union jobs in order to be able to get union jobs and get your sag card.

He already has millions of dollars from his videos' excessive revenue. And even if he did need comforting, he has a family, a wife and two children. He doesn't have to rely on those who have arguably stayed loyal to him. He doesn't deserve any respect, and the only reason I watch his videos are to see how cringeworthy and laughable they are.

The thing that makes me the saddest about this whole situation is that the Dhar Mahn channel is the opposite of a jumping-off point for actors... Not only did he deprive them, and waste their time, but it's also going to be almost impossible for them to be taken seriously without making a major move now... A similar thing happened to me when I was younger I took an internship at SoFlo and it deflated what momentum I had found, exhausted my resources, and wasted my time.

I was SO disheartened about this situation because prior to finding Jarvis' channel, I primarily watched Dhar Mann videos with my baby brother. The majority of our fun were seeing the same actors over and over, reprise the same roles in every one. Sure the videos were goofy and the writing of how the situations were handled were sometimes alarmingly bad, LOL.. But it was made up for by how genuinely fun a lot of the actors were. So to see our favorites like Rachel, Colin, and Mair (my personal BIG favorite, she carried every video she was in) get treated poorly felt unreal and awful... Learning that they're starting a new channel AND they've met the minimum on their funding goal has made this story SO much better. I wish them all the best!!

paying hourly but only for that very specific few hours they’re actively acting, instead of all the hours they’re on set/told they’re needed, is straight up wage theft. it’s not an uncommon grift when it comes to guys like dhar who are only concerned about making as much money as possible (which means finding ways to pay others as little as possible). seen it so many times but laws almost always favor the business owners over their workers in america, and owners more often win in court cases when challenged.

Like okay Dr. Mike literally saved someone's life when he was having an allergic reaction on a plane but sure, Dhar Mann is the hero.

[@Caldella]

I always got a weird feeling based off the videos themselves - super preachy on morals, yet the morals often miss the mark: e.g. instead of "Just be nice to people because everyone deserves that," it'll be something like "Be nice to that poor person because they might be rich and successful one day."

About the knife thing: as someone currently in film school and taking production classes, having a real knife instead of a prop knife is a MAJOR no no. Literally safety is supposed to be top priority and we have to jump through a thousand hoops to use fake weapons, as it should be. Not only is it incredibly dangerous and probably several levels of illegal to have an actor RUN with a real weapon, let alone chase another actor. Accidents happen and if either of them tripped it could lead to life changing injuries (death is probably unlikely but if an actor has a facial injury/scar it can affect their livelihood and financial means) and if she had any trauma memories related to someone pulling a knife on her etc, it could’ve given her such a severe panic attack it could have required hospitalization and sedation. I am so so so so SO proud of that girl for leaving. When someone tries to pressure you into something that makes you uncomfortable, please remember you can leave. Exit the situation and always put your safety and comfort first. That flight response is so important yet so overlooked, please listen to your instincts and never let anyone coerce you into staying and complying. Please, as someone who learned that lesson the hard way, look out for yourself

[@dullsunrise8820]

The fact that he’s still not paying his actors enough despite all the pushback is astounding to me. No I’m not surprised some rich guy is mistreating his employees, but you’d think he’d finally get the hint after awhile. As trash as his videos are, the actors have always been the saving grace since they always seemed to be giving it their all. They basically made his channel and don’t deserve this.

Oh my god, jazlyn's story is downright terrifying. That is so scary. I can't believe that they wouldn't let her talk to him. I mean, he put her in danger, for no reason; and they can't even free up 30 minutes in his stupid schedule for her to talk to him? Pure evil. Truly, the fact that she was able to go back at all is so strong of her. She shouldn't have to, and I really hope she's able to get some financial compensation and some counseling for such a terrible experience. The little "we are family" video is so dystopian. Like, it feels manipulative. I can feel like the actors (especially all the teenagers) being manipulated from here. So sad. It's really awesome to see the protesting actors start their own channel though. That's so sweet, and i hope it's successful.

A security guy handed him the knife, it feels unlikely from a purely rational point of view that said security guy is going to be cool with it if the guy decides to get stabby.

NGL this situation, esp. them forcing actors to set aside multiple days, then only paying them for a few hours of work, almost reminds me of a situation in old-school Hollywood, when Olivia de Haviland sued her contracted movie studio. She was not permitted to do work for other studios without their explicit permission, but they almost entirely gave her small "arm candy" type roles that inhibited her career and didn't pay nearly what a more prominent role would. In fact, some of her biggest parts in that period were when she convinced them to 'loan her out' to other studios. Toward the end of her contract, she started refusing the smaller roles they offered her and was put on a suspension for it. Then, when her contract was set to end, they claimed she owed 6 months of extra time for the 'suspension' period. Her lawsuit was actually a landmark case in Hollywood to benefit the treatment of contractually-obligated actors. I can only assume that the Dhar Mann studio doesn't hire full time actors to get around these sort of obligations to give them rights and benefits. I've seen the same with "adjunct" college teachers who are hired contractually per class and are not considered 'real' employees of the university, so they're paid less and aren't eligible for benefits.
