76. Horrific Labor Practices at South Park
As someone who used to work there, it is truly one of the worst animation studios in the country.

Their standard work contract is for 70 hour weeks before they pay overtime. They will regularly hire people, work them 6-8 weeks at 70 hours/week, then lay them off for four weeks before hiring them back.

They have tried to bust unionization on the production many times, including firing people who were trying to organize.

I have other stories, including those of sexual harrassment.

South Park is fun to watch, not fun at all to make.
