I love to see a lawyer get ahold of a case where the company refuses to let you quit.
If my workplace ever became a "no-quit" zone, I will *make* them fire me.
@@chromegaman I'd recommend suing. A constitutional lawyer would take one look and call it a 13th amendment violation
@@chromegamanI would just quit anyway lmao.
Yeah I want to see how that holds up in court

Fun fact: "Company stores" and "money" that could only be used in *those* stores was exactly how mining towns kept people in poverty, and unable to move away to find better opportunities, during the 1800s.

All "No-Quit" McDonalds locations need to be sued into oblivion
Or they all need to walk out.
The suing would be better cus people who deserve money will get the money
i love that if you look up the no-quit sign thing, its like "oh this was just one location not the franchise as a whole"
but when i quit my first job at a Mcdonalds back in 2018, the manager legitimately told me No, that i had to get permission from a general manager to do that.
yeeeaaah im sure they accepted my resignation after the 2nd or 3rd week of not showing up.
how are they gonna say "you can not quit"? just dont go in lmao
How can it be “No-Quit”? What are they gonna do.. fire me?
Finding out Texas charges prisoners for water killed some fundamental part of me.
Restaurants have to give water for free (at least up here in Illinois, no idea if same in Texas), but lock people up so they depend on you to supply them water, and then you can charge them. Fuck the American penal system.
They give children debt if they can't afford to eat school meals.. Somehow I'm not shocked that they make prisoners pay to not die horribly.

Um...yes..ok... but this video is chock full of images that don't belong to this guy. Pot kettle black & all that....
@@darrenrobinson9041 But he's not using these images and posts for a completely selfish reason, nor is he acting like this content is his.
Imagine you get a voice acting job, then quit or retire, and without your consent your voice is recreated for profit without you seeing a penny of said profit from that point onwards.
Hence *"My voice is MINE"**
And verbally stating it gets you closer to losing it. Thanks "open source" training models.... Run entirely by corporations.
A "no quit" business is just a shorter way of saying "stop showing up to work till they fire you" business

It's a nice thought, but Robin has said in a past video that he prefers the ones that made him mad. Though probably not this one considering what he stated in the beginning of the video

Company: *This is a no quit zone!*
Beluga: Get fired from company speedrun (9.69 seconds)
Everyone is gonna do that then insult their social media
Robin refusing to read the doom-text is oddly wholesome. I saw the post and was like: "Uch, that's gonna give me my nightly dose of anxiety" so I wanted to skip.. until I heard Robin say "I am not gonna read this" and I wholeheartedly want to thank Robin for that. Our world is already filled with bad news that only want you to feel bad. We don't need more "doom" to feel even worse. I hope humanity finds back to positivity and optimism one day!
Is it bad that as soon as he said "I'm not going to read that" I immediately paused and read it? Idk why, i figured it might be a _bit_ interesting but, nah, it was (as the name implies) boring
doomposting is one of my least favorite internet things
@@idkcba And that's ok. If you can mantain yourself informed and avoid taking that to a personal level, this can be constructive. What Robin meant in refusing to read the article is that subreddits like r/Aboringdystopia don't share such articles with informative intentions, but rather use them to leave you feeling hopeless. Places like these essentially serve to self-validate cynicism and scorn, often labeling the act of feeling hope as futile.
@@mayconlcruz I feel hope through rage, personally. I like to think of these as fuel for the fire that we'll eventually throw the idiots in charge onto

18:35 "Weird they don't have the equivalent in hot areas" *They do,* in an awful lot of them. In fact, shortly after this woman's death became a big deal in Arizona, the state regulators enacted a statewide ban on turning off residential power during summer months, for exactly this reason.
Don't let the Injustice of this world depress you. Let it radicalize you!
Indeed. I know moping around won't do anything but let a company hold more power over you. We are in a corner, we should repeat what the majority of animals in nature do when they are backed in a corner, fight back.
We can all imagine a much more just and equitable world. So let's unite and work to make it a reality!
You guys know that it is already too late, yes? We now just have to wait for the climate to kill us all except for the rich people that would probably go to space before that happens, you just gotta wait for the impending doom, everyone will perish, there is no way to stop it now, and I do believe that there is nor hell nor heaven, there is just darkness, and we all shall imbrace it, or perhaps there IS something, perhaps we still can do something, but regardless we will all end up dead, although after death there might be something, there might be a sort of limbo, where you can just walk around in a place of darkness, that seems more like it.
I hope I gave someone a little bit of anxiety for their impending doom
The two are not mutually exclusive
Cant wait for people to burn down corporate buildings in the future 😂
"No-quit" basically means "You're gonna slave here till you die or WE throw you out, slave".
they cant just grab you and force you to come in, if you don't go in then its you quitting
If anyone bothered to read the whole sign it says you can't quit until you talk to the manager or another listed person and gives the contact information for both.
@@elaexplorer Doesn't make it any better.
Or you can simply get fired
Unfortunately, a lot of places limit or refuse E.I. or other supports if you're 'Fired' as opposed to 'quitting due to legitimate reason'. And a manager of any level could just say no, and then you either get fired (No call no show, reason of the week, w/e) or keep working (and punished, bc anyone who tells you they wont retaliate bc it's 'illegal' is high).
When I left mine, they tried to make a scene, but i had it on record that they'd 'replace me before the sun went down, they get 100s of applications a day'. I was working 6 days a week, and on call the 7th, for almost 6 months bc they couldn't find someone to clean their deep friers/grill, and man the entire kitchen, and turn over the store for breakfast, and help the front person with drive-thru all at the same time. They had 2 people on a 3-5 person shift, and managers that were the owner's bestie/sister-in-law/nephew. Went back recently just for a drink, told me it took 20 minutes to change over a soda box.
The McDonalds thing is a good way for a company to get laughed at and have there staff quit out of spite
If a cop can confuse a sub sandwich for a gun, they WILL confuse a toy gun for a gun.
There's bound to be a list somewhere on the internet of objects American cops have mistaken - or, perhaps, "mistaken" - for live guns. Sandwiches, chair legs, toy guns...
Then we should stop hiring drooling morons as cops.
@@OriginAtrocityempty hands
@@OriginAtrocitythey sometimes mistake minorities for guns too , the police have very bad eyesight sometimes

About the water gun backpack thing... yeah. When I was a kid, My brother had this toy gun. It was completely golden yellow with a red light and was obviously a toy, but airport security still took it. For it so much as being in his backpack.
I think an incident in Sweden happened some time ago, where a boy with down syndrome had a fake gun in public. Police shot him, leading to his passing, and he didn't really do anything to deserve being fatally injured.
Was this before or after 9/11? If you don't mind me asking.
@@cairox1509fuck'em either way.
Well, you see one could put acid or something and the "gun" could squirt it at people.
@@jackalenterprisesofohio the acid would melt the plastic. Also, lemonade is literally citric acid and water.
Before the pandemic, I worked a job at a corporate call center. Place was really nice with accommodating policies and really great facility resources. An arcade, a nap room, a gym, two kitchens, and several break rooms.
But the thing they did to reward us was hand us fake money like in the LM segment of the video.
To be redeemed for snacks and stuff. Very often, whenever I just couldn't afford lunch, I'd spend my saved up company cash.
If I didn't have company cash, my lunch was going to be a microwaved potato I purchased, in bulk, from the discount grocer that sells nearly expired or damaged goods.
Back then I recognized the idea of the company store as appealing. But whenever I'd call attention to it, people would tell me I was over-reacting.
I'm fine with my job giving me, say, a company shirt (I don't wear T-shirts, and dye my own fabrics, but it's not like I'd hate the gift). And in your case, it makes sense. But it would make more sense to give you, rather than $2 Kompany Bux, $2 actual dollars and let you go buy something in the cafeteria that takes real money and not bother with the middle-man, who was almost certainly overcharging (possibly not, but I doubt the economy was Free And Fair and all that; it never has been when I've experienced it).
Ours gives out actual gift cards in decent steps--usually about a day's pay for a white-collar person or more--for work well-done, and they're not shy about them. This month, my department received, if I remember, 9 or 10. We're not a huge department. I got 1. One person received three. Use it wherever you want.
I have a pile sitting by my computer because I never can figure out what to buy with them.
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go!
*I OWE MY SOUL TO THE COMPANY STORE!*
Appealing or appalling?
@@CIoudStriker Now the song is in my head!

Fake money as reward? Find out if there is a black market going on in the company and sell it there for actual profit
“You’re not allowed to quit.”
“This is an employee rights violation! I quit!”
“Nuh-uh”
LOL @ no quit McDonalds. what is the manager gonna do? risk a kidnapping charge by holding a quitting employee against their will? yes legally speaking that could be considered kidnapping.
They can't stop you from leaving, just from resigning. So you just walk out and stop showing up.
They do it so they can avoid all the benefits you'd get from quitting instead of being fired, as being fired is worse, which would incentivize workers to keep working out of fear of getting fired.
Legally they can't stop you from leaving, or force you to work, but they can revoke any and all benefits you may get for quitting.
13:07 this is literally the plot of "Don't Look Up", and everyone ends up dying because of it.
In September 2022 i spent 30 days in jail. Only gave us water with meals. No AC, no outdoor rec, just constant lockdown. I went in at 280lbs. I came out 220lbs dehydrated and taken directly to hospital. I live in Georgia, USA. Summers here are known to be brutally hot and humid.
And it's worse this year (and will continue to get worse) all because of climate change
@kittykittybangbang9367 yes indeedy. This summer was mild up until 3 weeks ago, then hell mode kicked in. The people in my neighborhood have begun gardening, mowing laws, and trimming hedges at night because its just too hot to be out in the heat of the day.
Love the name btw. Lol

5:04 this was a real problem. In the 1980s, toy guns were made to be realistic, with accurate sculpting, colors, features like ejecting casings, electronic sounds, and so on. Then attention was drawn to police shooting kids, because the toys appeared to be real firearms. As a result, companies started making the guns in florescent orange and green colors with a red tip to look more like toys (my friends and I would spray-paint them back to realistic colors, because it's hard to sneak up on someone with a day-glo water gun) Later on, toy companies abandoned the realistic molds altogether and ended up in more fanciful, toy like designs like Super Soakers, so that the shape was obvious as a toy.
The company here is simply covering their bases, because someone is going to modify a toy gun to look realistic, get shot, then the family will sue the toy company.
Not only that, people are making real guns look like toy guns, so if you are waving around anything that looks remotely like a firearm, police have to assume that it is a firearm.
@@valerierodger or maybe they could try not shooting children?
This was not intended to be a rant, but here:
My last few days at mcdonalds were fucking hell. The people I worked with were lovely, and I would have quit MUCH sooner if it hadn't been for that. I remember my last few days I was working headset (Drive-through orders), making coffee orders, assembling drive-through orders, getting sauce for others, working on the fries, and taking out held orders all at once. meaning that other than one girl at the register, I was the ONLY person working on nonstop orders. (Tasks that would be normally divided between 4-5 people.) the only thing I wasn't doing was cooking. it wasn't always like this but the problem only worsened with time. I stayed because I wanted to help the store. we were very short on staff, and I had put in my two weeks because I was anticipating changing jobs. They asked me to stay, and we talked. They agreed to put my full time and I accepted. I never received full time, and my pay was never increased like promised. or if it was I didn't notice because my pay went from 9 to 10 dollars... These were the ingredients used to cause a complete mental breakdown, and it took me a long time to feel ok again after quitting. I still feel guilty, but I couldn't continue to kill myself for that amount of money. Not to mention the foot pain is just now beginning to subside and it's been at least 2 months since I quit (I'm 18).... My only regret is not sticking around for the no-quit bullshit so I could quit then.
Tl-DR: Overworked with little pay, and they're so shocked that we're leaving.
Was one of the cooks....used to have a customer pop in the drive thru...that we all called "Diabetty" She always ordered a
Double quarter with 2 extra patties.
4 shots of seasoning over each patty
4 slices of cheese on each patty. (So 16 slices)
Triple pickle
Triple onion
She was never a overly pleasant person to deal with.
I would always think to myself.. "What happened to you, that you gave up?"
That was always soul sucking when I saw her pull up... Hell I knew the order so well I didnt even need to see her, to know when she ordered.
They know people stay because they feel guilty about leaving coworkers. If you are ever working a service job for low pay, take your sweet goddamned time and give them an amount of labor that is equal to your pay. Don't break your neck for minimum wage; those parasites need you more than you need them.
I've seen that "it's too expensive to hire sufficient staff- wait, why are the overworked, stressed, and still underpaid staff leaving?" before. I eve saw it at the gas station near my house. Corporate aholes never f*ing learn.

Join a communist party and help build a world where service workers don't need to torture themselves for minimum wage. Everything you have learned about communism from school or the media is as real as the WMDs in Iraq.
@@jimb9063early human societies were communist in nature, and things only changed after agriculture allowed some people to produce and hoard an excess.
5:30 "no way to mistake this as a real gun" there were police who mistook a waking stick a partially blind person was carrying for a firearm and arrested him under charges if brandishing a firearm and resisting arrest
Everything looks like a real gun if the hand holding it has dark enough skin.
5:30 So if you have a loaded gun it's open carry but if you have a fake gun it's a crime?
If your gun is holstered it's fine, if you're waving it around and pointing it like an idiot that's called brandishing and it's a felony.
And they tell kids not to wave toy guns around because cops are dumb as hell and have killed for less.
yep, its a crime because a cop could "accidentally" shoot you and get mildly inconvenienced for it (I would have said, might get in trouble, but that never actually happens). that is LITERALLY the only reason its illegal.
@RaptorNX01 it honestly feels like 40% of police become police with the hopes to have an excuse to kill someone
No, but nice strawman.
Pointing something that can be mistaken for a gun can get you shot.
Google real guns that look like toys and you’ll understand why police not only have to assume that everything that looks like a gun is a gun, they also have to assume that, even if it looks like a toy gun, it’s a gun
@@valerierodger So is it illegal to carry or point a toy gun? Also if I can get shot for it it sounds like a self-fixing problem.
2:20 the workers should write "I quit" on that sign.

Prisons charge prisoners for everything. Rent, utilities, using the phone, using the library, all of it. When/if you get out, they send you a bill, and not paying it can get you sent right back. SSDD in the land of the free.

"because we feel that many situations can be resolved" unless it involves paying their workers more, giving them more benefits etc.
I used to be a CO at a private prison. The inmates earned a monthly stipend as set by CDOC, and any restitution they owed as required by their sentence was the only thing that was ever deducted from that. The facility itself never charged anybody for utilities, "housing" I guess you could call it, for medical care, nor for the three meals served every day. The idea that a DOC facility would charge their inmates rent hurts and confuses me on a personal level, and worries me on a professional level.
i wonder what would happen if the inmate for whatever reason cant afford rent.
are they going to evict them?
who else could tackle such harsh topics and stupid ideas the way Robin does? Without "Grandmaster Rant" i wouldn´t have made it through this video full of disgusting stuff. but nonetheless i feel tired and slightly depressed and have to look up funny stuff to balance it out. working for EmKay is a really tough job for all people involved - just to bring us new content every day. thank you all for that.
I gotta agree with Robin here. Even though these subreddits do bring temporary comfort knowing that struggling to live as a young adult trying to become independent today isn't entirely my fault, it's not good for overall mental health to see these doom spirals of content. I hope Robin gets happier subreddits as I wish to view those more.

I live in AZ. They did actually change that law. It was during 2020, if I remember correctly. All of the electric companies can't turn your electricity off during the summer. The electric company where I live will work with people too to get them paid up. Not sure what all of the options are, but they will "help" (using that term loosely) people get straightened up when payments resume.
Most companies are willing to help you work out a way to repay them. They'd rather you pay your bill late than have to send collections. You can just talk to them and say you can't pay right now and see what options there are.
I worked for a company during covid that had monitoring software on my pc. At one point half of my job role was just cut so I had way less work to do. The financial directors who had never had any contact or interaction with me then saw my role as a drain on their profits and let me go and used the monitoring software as proof to only pay me 60% of my wages for the final month due to me "only being productive 60% of the time", despite me already discussing this before with my actual boss about that I was struggling to find work to do as by job role had been cut in half.
if you are in the US you should file an unpaid wage claim for the missing 40%, that's illegal. You do not need a lawyer, the state will investigate on your behalf, if they are found to have retroactively changed your pay they could be liable for up to triple the difference as well as fines, and you would get paid your full salary plus any statutory damages up to triple what they owed you.
@@dangerszewski9816 I'm in the UK and while I know I could have disputed it, was kinda glad in hindsight to be out of that company and thought it wasn't worth the hassle.

You know. With that stairwell, you can play _into_ the dystopia and charge people like 20 bucks each time they enter
Actually for that stairwell it would be an excellent purchase. If I lived near London I'd have bought it outright
Take out the stairs, clad the building and then build new flooring/platforms. Realistically you've got 4-5 storeys and each one is about the size of a medium bedroom.
Realistically you're looking at 70k for a 4-5 story house in London.

This is actually extremely useful information to have. It lays out exactly how much money(or at the very least, product) they will prioritize to buy senator votes.

For the van life guy... There is a chance that he could afford to live in a home. There are some people who just prefer living in vans and do it voluntarily, partially because it does work out cheaper, and/or they want their home to be on the move. I've even considered it before.

The nicely kept small RVs that you generally see on social media cost around $100,000 USD. Depending on where you want to live, you could potentially buy a house instead. The dystopian aspect I see in my mom's case is that the van thing would be an alternative to "traveling in her retirement". Because she won't get to retire. The closest thing she could hope for is to get a job that she can do from anywhere and the ability to take her desk with her, so that she might still have a chance to see the world while she works until she dies.
Petition to give Robin more happy subs. Give the man a break from the doom and gloom.
"Use only clean tap water" dang, cant use the jet-fuel tainted military tap water then
My blood boils at the thought of scarring the moon for the gain of five wealthy people maximum. I do not wish to state what i would do, were the magnificence of the night to be defiled so.
2:36 He did that to participate in a primary debate, because he need at least 40k donors. So basically paid people to became his donor and get access to the debate.
9:35 this reminds me of the little mermaid. Ariel sold her voice and Ursula used it to put Ariel out of a job so she had to find a sugar daddy. So deep
I feel like AI could be SO much better if the world just had nicer humans. I have seen a few good cases of AI usage that are genuinely interesting and doing completely new things. but they're all overshadowed by text bots and people just trying to replace middle/lower class living humans
Way back when i went to jail (about 10 years ago in Michigan) there was a so called lottery and every so often a group of names would get picked out of all the prisoners and if your name got picked, then you would be charged room and board and it was literally called "room and board" on all the paperwork you'd get. My name got picked and it eventually added up to around $8,000 😂 obviously i didnt have the money to pay for it. So what the jail did was if someone put money on your books, for the weekly commissary (its technically a store for overpriced items such as food or hygiene products. The jail would automatically take that money.
How is the lottery even legal??? None of the rest of it should be either ofc but that's standard fare for this country. But the lottery? That's new to me
@@awaredeshmukh3202 hell if I know. It honestly put so many people in debt and then they couldn't even buy normal hygiene products off the commissary. It shouldn't be legal. And this is regular county jail, not even prison. There are people in there waiting to be sentenced who haven't even been proven guilty but can't bond themselves out because of a high cash bond set.
yikes, sounds like a scam, i'd like to see the paperwork trail for "room and board"
@@darrenrobinson9041 Actually that's what it's called room and board and it's not a scam. When you get served/sued for the room and board for being in jail. You get this big packet of paperwork. And it basically states on the top of it like an actual legal summons or whatever you call it. I'm not a lawyer lol but it says whatever your name is as the defendant verses the name of the jail as the plaintiff.
Lol I know I'm making this more confusing but I'm no lawyer and don't know any inner workings of being sued.
1:38 I love that. We all love a bit of doom humour now and then, but some people seem to really revel in the doom. There is hope, and if more of us try and do good things despite all the bad in the world, more people will hopefully feel it. Nice one, Robin! 💜💜
I went to find out how to apply for section 8 in my area the other day and learned the waitlist for my area hasnt been opened in 13 years. 13 F'ING YEARS.

Look, if you’re going to mine the moon, do it on the half that we don’t see every night. Luckily the moon is tidally locked so one side always faces the Earth, so as long as we avoid that side and instead mine on the “dark side of the moon” (which can become bright because it does face the sun quite often).
There's this worldbuilding project called Orion's Arm. In it, the far side of the moon is covered in large domes, but the close side is completely pristine. If we want to inhabit the Moon, that's how we should do it.
@@ericgolightly8450 Sick. I’m all for industrializing the moon, as long as we don’t ruin the side Earth constantly sees. Not to mention the moon would be a great place to launch shuttles and satellites once it does become industrialized
Much as I agree with Robin, I enjoy this sub. Can we get Jack on this next time?
I think, if not Robin, Lexi would be a great fit for some of these angry subreddits too.
Probably not this specific one though, this is just depressing more than anything.
I guess I can see how this would seem like a doom subreddit. But imo it's more of an angry subreddit. Every time I see these videos, it makes me wanna burn down some mansions 😊
I would also like to say it's the only reliable place I can get information about how slimy rich people truly are

14:44 If you get rid of to much of the moons mass it might be pulled to earth more. Witch may or may not ram into the earth at some point
2:09 Oh, I can’t quit? Well guess who’s getting fired for taking a dump on the flattop then 🤣
I had to do a double-take on the first one, at first I was like "Alright, weird layout, but if they want to waste their space that's fine"
Then I realized all of those were individual backyards, not one collective backyard.
Wait, Robin was in Piemations videos? And Poppy Playtime, which is a bigger deal but somehow not as impressive as being a recurring voice in Piemations videos. I had no idea, that's so cool!
(Also yeah fuck AI voice stuff)
12:38 *look at those children! Don't you see that they yearn for the mines?!*

I wish the necessities to live a decent life is guaranteed regardless of you working or not, as long as all the jobs needed are being done. So then having stuff automated would be beneficial as it means you have more free time to do what you want.
2:30 what're they gonna do, though? Fire you?
We don’t need the Combine to make places like City 17 anymore
1:43 I do think it's a good thing to have a place to vent, so without doomscrolling it and reading through it, I believe this subreddit has a purpose for venting
I think it's important to point out that the no quit sign was just poorly designed. It says no quit but it tells you how to quit, it just basically says that if you walk out you didn't quit, you were fired.
I had no idea Robin had been so prolific in the industry, kudos to you good sir
0:25 fun fact: those new EVs that Amazon has are stuffed with cameras in the cab AND in the cargo area. Absolutely no privacy in one of those. They're insane.

19:00 there are some regulations to this effect in AZ now, and it wasn't just one woman who died, but dozens. Worse, Our local power monopoly APS successfully lobbied the state to make "new rooftop solar" ILLEGAL for nearly a decade using dark-money donations through a PAC... literally the sunniest state in the union... and NOW they're wanting folk that have rooftop solar to pay a "grid maintenance fee" so that they'd still be paying APS the same each month as if they didn't have the solar...
There was a thing going on where the US was making taxes automated and not that difficult to do (like literally the rest of the world was doing) back in the 2000s. All the tax corporations (the ones "helping" you pay your taxes) lobbied them enough to get them to stop doing this.
I think it should be illegal for corporations to lobby against something for monetary gain.
@@ItzBIULD agreed, Adam Conover and John Oliver have done great pieces on that!
dont take away r/Aboringdystopia or r/Antiwork please. they're like my two favorites.
also, this video is the first I'm learning that you voice acted media. i'll admit, i didn't know you were that professional.
2:20 This is... actually literally what Walmart does, though? You're actually signing a literal enslavement contract when you work for them, it's how they can legally defy minimum wage laws. You're not an employee, you're _store equipment._ I'm actually surprised they don't just literally tattoo an asset tag on new hires... yet.
I worked at Wal-Mart and several of my relatives do. While there are things Wal-Mart does to its employees that need to be improved, I've never ever heard of anything like this comment is talking about. Not saying it doesn't exist I just need a citation here.
Give the Waltons some time, and a few more Senators to purchase; they'll be lojacking their 'corporate assets' in no time.
yeah, i used to work for them as well, and while they are horrible employers, they weren't as bad as what the video talked about.
7:33 some people renovate vans to live in especially in this day and age seeing as they're much cheaper than a house and you can go wherever you want. It doesn't mean they can't afford houses they're just living in a different way than what you're used to
Imagine not giving the people who have decided to die for their country sufficient food.
"this is a no quit restaurant" so what happens if I just never come back? Does that not count as quitting or do we just say you were fired after they stop putting you on schedule?
"She didn't quit. She slipped her chain and ran."
As a gen z I went through hell just to get a 6 week summer job at a school for $15.50 an hour and my job ended up being automated in the end
13:00 is basically the whole movie "don't look up" and i expect humanity to react the same way if not worse.
Instead of building that dome in Las Vegas.... they could've given every homeless person in the USA $3500.
