NEW YORK: Online video production company MrBeast said Nov 1 it has fired somewhere between five to 10 employees following an investigation into the YouTube empire’s workplace culture.
A company spokesman declined to put a precise number on the firings, say which employees were let go or for what reasons. But the shakeup comes as Jimmy Donaldson, who draws millions of views under the MrBeast alias with highly produced stunts and giveaways, deals with accusations of impropriety against himself, his collaborators and others within his multimillion-dollar production company that have threatened his family-friendly image.
