This guy looks like a Dr. Phil and Mussolini photo merge.

Kevin O'leary will fire you if you use the word "shiny" within earshot of him.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

Wow, shock, surprise!

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

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

I've been working 40 years, I have never had weekends off.

[-] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

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

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

Fight Club style. If you're able to keep yourself from assimilating or being discovered, it could work.

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.

It's not about money. It's about being a petty tyrant and lording over the peasants.

Fuck the wealthy.

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 65 points 1 week ago

Wow, I would very much like to punch this guy in the face.

Alternatively we could just get whoever designed Lady Gaga's ridiculous meat suit from a decade back, get another one made, put it on Mr. Punchable Face here, and toss him into an actual shark tank.

That seems fitting.

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Just skip the suit and give him the ol French treatment.

The sharks will still be fed.

[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 19 points 1 week ago

German has a word for this guy:

Backpfeifengesicht

(colloquial) a punchable face; a face "in need of a punch".

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.

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

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

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Sounds like an easy lawsuit tbh

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Not in Ohio.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 24 points 1 week ago

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?

[-] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Atropos@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Who dreams up crap like Kevin O'leary??

How this FTX pumper is not in prison is beyond absurd

Daddy regime would never punish a daddy... poliscie 101 really

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago

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

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

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

[-] BenFranklinsDick@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Absolutely based
