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?

Unsurprisingly, the article is more nuanced than the title.

For example, he states he has fired people in the past for not answering an after hours emergency, while the title seems to me to say he would fire people despite the new law.

The article does include a response and background from labor leaders in Australia, as that is the most recent country to enact this law.

But I entirely agree about his character, and he's the worst person on that shark tank show too. I dont know ive ever agreed with a quote of his in an article.

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

This old asshole doesn't talk to his workers.

[-] Kalysta@lemm.ee 25 points 6 days ago

If it’s a new regulation to not answer phones off the clock, isn’t firing the employee for it illegal?

[-] icedterminal@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago

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.

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?

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 9 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

When hasn’t it been this way?

[-] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 days ago

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

[-] GarlicToast@programming.dev 21 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

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

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 37 points 6 days ago

Not if you ask half his province.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 6 days ago

Do it, they'll approve my unemployment.

[-] vordalack@lemm.ee 7 points 5 days ago

Dude is crazy. Isn't he a grifting, fake guru?

[-] skittle07crusher@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago

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

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

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.

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

[-] ohitsbreadley@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 6 days ago

Aeyo, Kevin O'Leary is solidly a Boomer.
