I can't imagine why this needy millennial feels so entitled to my attention.

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

Not if you ask half his province.

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

Who dreams up crap like Kevin O'leary??

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Yeah. The more accurate wording is "forbids employers from retaliating against employees who--"

Boss announces he will break the law.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

If my slave master acts like this, i don't care if he does haha

The demographic changes makes it so that he will have to go hire somebody else more for money with less exp

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

He wants employees to be dedicated to making him money so he doesn't have to.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He wants employees to have the same dedication that he has.

Don't be confused - he is categorically not as dedicated as he expects his employees to be, but far, far, far less.

I want to golf as much during work hours as the ceo

Dear Jing Pan, I really hope you succeed in your journalism career but if you use the word "SLAM" in any of its variations, I'm going to assume you're a talentless hack and I won't be reading any articles with that in the headline

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?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

He's got the charisma of a dead skunk, but I somehow doubt he won't still involve himself with Pollievre somewhere in there

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

So you are saying he is as charismatic as Trump? That is worrying.

This whole thing with a series of "CommentX" accounts started because I wrote on reddit once that I hoped for this guy's death, got permabanned, and made my first new account. I think I was up in the 140's on reddit recently, still haven't made an alt for lemmy since I started with 105.

But this specific guy, who I don't usually hear much from because I don't seek out content from/about that environment, said something so ugly about how good he thought poverty and struggle was, that it made me wish the worst for him.

It's not that he's much worse than the other guys in his wealth class, I mean he's still up there but not #1 big bad by any means, but he's just so fucking overtly classist and apparently in love with the suffering of those beneath him, it's shocking.

It's disappointing to be reminded of him, and that my wish upon a star wasn't fulfilled. He should've been in that submarine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

You join the violent organisations, either you are assimilated, or you are cast out (or worse). That’s how they work.
