Fuck you, pay me.

If employees start ignoring their boss’s calls, texts, and emails outside of work hours, an after-hours emergency might have to wait until the next business day, which O’Leary finds unacceptable.

Did this fucking fascist consider hiring more staff and going 24/7? How is it the problem of salaried workers that their boss is too fucking cheap to hire enough people to get the level of support that he wants?

“Who dreams this crap up?”

Working class people who make .5% what you do and don’t want to eat, sleep, and breathe work, you fucking fascist turd goblin.

EDIT: We have been informed by our team that our numbers above were off slightly. We apologize for the error and pledge to quintuple-check our math going forward.

When asked whether he ever encounters employees who silence their phones outside of work, O’Leary didn’t hesitate with his response: “The next moment is — I just fire them.”

TBH they're better off.

"Billionaire who benefits financially from harassing his employees after hours instead of staffing those hours mad at concept that you shouldn't do that."

I don't know who Kevin O'Leary, but I can tell I don't like him.

There's a lot of talk these days about people being cancelled. This guy seems like the sort of person that would be an excellent candidate for it. I believe we, as a society, ought to collectively express our disgust at this kind of behavior.

So how is it done? How do we figuratively light the signal fires of Gondor and call forth the hosts to confront this evil?

he said in a clip he shared of a recent interview with Fox News

ahh yes, as broadcasted to the group who are consistently brainwashed to vote against their own best interests. mission accomplished

I know people who live around where his wife was driving the boat and got in an accident and the people in the other boat died.

They all think she took the fall for him and he was drinking and he was the one driving. They were both drinking let’s be real - heading home from dinner on one of the most exclusive cottage lakes in Canada gimme a break.

Their opinion is he should have been charged and guilty.

The wife got back to the dock and took a big drink if I recall correctly to “calm her nerves” - oldest trick in the book.

Anyway, this shithead says what?

A couple hundred years ago, Kevin O'Leary would be whipping his slaves to death for objecting to being raped.

He's exactly the person you'd unfairly assume he is based on his face.

More context as to how much of a garbage human O’Leary is. https://www.avclub.com/shark-tanks-mr-wonderful-helped-kill-the-educational-1829339516

These corporate fucks should just die. No ifs, no buts, just fucking die like the scum they are.

If he were my boss I'd ignore him during work hours too, tbh.

He's known as "Mr. Wonderful" because of how marbled and tender his cuts will be when he is harvested and eaten.

I'm sure this fat greedy fuck would be edible if we slow roasted him, basted with a nice strong chili sauce

Headline from 100+ years ago:

'Who dreams up this balderdash?': Andrew Carnegie slams new idea pushed by labor unions that will force employers to give workers two days off at the end of every week

Oh wait, no... That one was from last year https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/20/republican-child-labor-law-death

If he wants to have people on call after hours - how about paying them for that?

Fuck Kevin O’Leary.

So you'll pay a livable wage plus overtime everytime you call me outside work yeah?

Kevin O’Leary is a cunt. Yeah, I said it.

If the prick wants people on-call 24 hours a day then he needs to pony up the wages to match with accompanying extended holiday for downtime.

Call his ass after hours constantly and see how he likes it.

Worst Canadian in the world, maybe top 5 worst human.

I'm available for work after hours - 1 week a month, scheduled several months in advance.
I get about 1000€ extra for it, per month. And also 42 days of paid vacation per year, plus unlimited sick days.

That's what this rule would do - force employers to make it worth your while if they need you after hours, and force them to think about whether they really need that.

My general sense of this dude from Shark Tank is he's an asshole. After reading about him for 5 minutes, he's definitely an asshole.

what if you have to get a hold of them at two in the morning

People sometimes accuse me of being cynical, and yet here I was giving this guy the benefit of the doubt, thinking his objection might be that we don't need such a rule because employees already had the right to not answer the phone by nature and tradition.

i think this is a good idea in 95% of cases. Some jobs obviously require being on call. In some cases, it's necessary to have meetings with people in +/- 8h timezones. there should be appropriate compensation naturally.
