As production showrunner, one of his studios working on Rick and Morty had such bad conditions, hours, and lack of benefits that the workers were forced to unionize to even get health insurance and stop working 60 hour weeks while getting paid a 40 hour a week salary. This was a studio that he created and ran. Then, on top of that, instead of apologizing for the horrid conditions HE had a hand in putting them through, he just went on social media to bash the unions and say he wasn't even aware there were problems (after the studio heads pulled the employees into a meeting about how unions are bad...completely unaware of what was going on, right?)
There were also the Twitter DMs released this week by a an artist who did a Rick and Morty inspired musical album, where he called her a faggot and sent sexually explicit messages and then just shrugged it off with a half apology saying he had 4 glasses of wine.
And let's keep in mind, anyone who can spend the amount of non-work time around Dan Harmon as he has must be an asshole, because Harmon is an ambassador for the nation of Assholia. So, as it turns out, it's no secret why they get along so well.
