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.

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:

  • Asks their employer about their pay
  • Reveals their pay to another employee or someone applying to work with their employer
  • Asks the employer about its pay transparency report
  • Gives information to the Director of Pay Transparency about their employer"
