This is exactly why we need unions. Just like not having weekends off, it's normal until it isn't.

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.

Boss announces he will break the law.

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.

Up next on the news: abusive boss wonders why he can't retain staff. Should the board step in? Shareholders say yes

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?

Shut up and sit down you big bald fuck

What a fucking baby, when did we start letting children lead?

He wants employees to have the same dedication that he has. The thing is, it is not our company, and we certainly don’t get paid millions of dollars. We have other things to do on our own time than making money for you.

Ashamed this piece of shit is Canadian..

Sounds like an easy lawsuit tbh

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?

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?

Who dreams up crap like Kevin O'leary??

Idk who Kevin O'Leary is but I'm pretty sure he's not my supervisor.

Do it, they'll approve my unemployment.

If someone like Kevin O'Leary is pissed off, then it's probably a good thing.

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

It's so gross how the .01% love being villains to hardworking folk.

How this FTX pumper is not in prison is beyond absurd

This guy is the enemy of the people.

Tbh, if you're working that high up the chain that O'Leary calls you personally, you probably are a very wealthy workaholic anyways.

I’m skeptical of the claim that this regulation “allows” anyone to do anything. That’s now how regulations work.
