If someone like Kevin O'Leary is pissed off, then it's probably a good thing.
Nobody should give a shit what another reality TV show host business marketing shill grifter has to say about labor regulations. He's the last person I would care about an opinion from on the topic. Not seeing a link, did the article also include a response from labor leaders?
Tbh, if you're working that high up the chain that O'Leary calls you personally, you probably are a very wealthy workaholic anyways.
This old asshole doesn't talk to his workers.
If it’s a new regulation to not answer phones off the clock, isn’t firing the employee for it illegal?
Yes. But you can best believe they will find something else to fire you for. If you have nothing, then it's an easy case win for you.
It's so gross how the .01% love being villains to hardworking folk.
This is exactly why we need unions. Just like not having weekends off, it's normal until it isn't.
I've been working 40 years, I have never had weekends off.
Oh man that's rough, I'm sorry you've not had that. I hope you've managed to find other opportunities to spend time with family or do things that you enjoy
Some industries are weekend industries; for Hospitality, Retail and Tourism, Saturday and Sunday are the equivalent of Monday and Tuesday for the 9-5 crowd.
That said, Monday and Tuesday are usually the Saturday and Sunday for these workers. Us “Normies” don’t usually particle in fine dining, clubbing or tourist traps on Monday and Tuesdays.
You are right though, Retail and Hospitality workers do need to get better unions so they can get paid a living wage and aren’t being forced to work 7 days a week for 12 hour shifts.
There are just under 3000 billionaires in the world. The questions to ask are:
Do you start with the richest and move down the list or start at the bottom and see if the top ones give their money away before you get to them?
Do you sharpen the blade after it starts taking more than one blade drop or just enjoy the tension of the longer show?
I'm gonna steal this, it's beautiful!
Where’s all the action? All I’ve seen is the sub guy and a ship captain actually follow through
If I was actively planning on murdering some of the richest people on earth, I wouldn't talk about it on social media.
People you're talking about OWN the violence needed to stop them.
What I would be doing is joining the organizations that control the violence and either disrupt or try and take control of some or all of it.
History is going to be very unkind to people like Biden who has the means and legal right to mobilize and contain the fascists that ended American democracy and destroyed modern civilization
He'll fire workers... what workers exactly? As far as I can tell, he hasn't actually run a business in 25 years. He got rich when Mattel bought his company in 1999, but then they fired him. He invested in a storage facility company, was on the board of directors but never actually had any employees reporting to him, and then he sold that investment, making him more money.
Since then, he's had a number of vanity projects name after himself: O'Leary Funds, O'Leary Ventures, O'Leary Books, O'Leary Fine Wines, I don't know if any of them are still in business, but if they are, I can't imagine he has more than a handful of employees.
Now he's just a reality TV personality, so of course he's going to say bullshit that gets him in the spotlight.
Why would anybody take advice from a reality TV personality who hasn't managed any employees in a quarter of a century? Especially given that he's probably just saying bullshit to get his name in the spotlight again.
He needs a baseball bat to the knee and a diarrhea to the face. It will improve what comes out of his mouth.
Idk who Kevin O'Leary is but I'm pretty sure he's not my supervisor.
Boss announces he will break the law.
Why can't these regulations be actual crimes, with criminal consequences for the perpetrator. And if he's ordering someone else to do the firing, it's "conspiracy to commit regulatory fraud".
It'll keep getting worse until heads suddenly start rolling.
Up next on the news: abusive boss wonders why he can't retain staff. Should the board step in? Shareholders say yes
What a fucking baby, when did we start letting children lead?
Nah, its now we're putting some restraints on these children who have been free to do what ever and now they're having an entitled little tantrum about it, because god fobid the peasants get to relax.
Dude is crazy. Isn't he a grifting, fake guru?
It's not about money. It's about being a petty tyrant and lording over the peasants.
Fuck the wealthy.
Wow, I would very much like to punch this guy in the face.
German has a word for this guy:
(colloquial) a punchable face; a face "in need of a punch".
I thought the German term for someone needing a fist to the face was Nazi.
A lot of jobs need constant handouts from their work force just to get things done. But they usually find a way to handsomely pay those at top no matter how much workers are having to do extra. Shouldn't be so much sacrifice and stress considering what top executives receive.
Ashamed this piece of shit is Canadian..
Sounds like an easy lawsuit tbh
Not in Ohio.
Who dreams up crap like Kevin O'leary??
Entropy?
Remember when this clown almost ran for Prime Minister of Canada and we all just told him to fuck off so hard that he dropped out?
He's got the charisma of a dead skunk, but I somehow doubt he won't still involve himself with Pollievre somewhere in there
So you are saying he is as charismatic as Trump? That is worrying.
This guy looks like a Dr. Phil and Mussolini photo merge.
If you look away slightly from that picture, your peripheral sense of a complete fucking asshole will fill in the cigar in his right hand
Kevin O'leary will fire you if you use the word "shiny" within earshot of him.
How this FTX pumper is not in prison is beyond absurd
This guy is the enemy of the people.
Wow, shock, surprise!
Fire me, daddy
