If you meant specifically negative secrets, about clandestine acts, I don’t have anything, but MrBeast’s document that new employees are given when they join his company surprised me. It’s 30+ pages of excellent, specific advice, as well as clear directions about how MrBeast videos are different and thus employees must think and act differently than they would at any other production company.
The clarity of it, and the density of information, makes it hands-down the best work document I’ve ever read, and having read many in my 10 years of corporate work—all of them less clear, all of them less interesting—I was impressed. There is a tendency in work documents, at least in corporations, to 1) care more about style than substance and 2) adhere to a style that is stifled, banal, and obsessively adheres to Textbook Dictionary English and Grammar. MrBeast just writes how he talks, and it works.
I’d never considered watching any MrBeast video, I thought they were for stupid people, but after being impressed by the document I gave them a try, and now I’ve watched many and enjoyed them.
The advice in there sounds very conducive to a productive environment, but also very toxic. Definitely an interesting read, but I wouldn’t model my own workflow based on this.

I also loved this doc.
