Headline from 100+ years ago:
‘Who dreams up this balderdash?’: Andrew Carnegie slams new idea pushed by unions that mandates employers allow workers to have two days off at the end of every week
or maybe:
Republicans continue effort to erode US child labor rules despite teen deaths
Oh wait, no… That one was from last year https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/20/republican-child-labor-law-death
Frustrated by this news, Carnegie would later hire Pinkertons to kill his own workers.
That is what CMU calls it college team right? The fightin’ pinks?
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.
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.
I want what you have, I’m getting screwed.
Fuck, I get about a 150€ for being on call for a week. I’m getting ripped off.
You guys are getting paid for being on call?!
It’s valid. I don’t check email unless I’m at work, fire me.
Two way street, right Kevin…? What an ass.
Fuckers like this make me regret my career in IT
Kevin O’Leary is a cunt. Yeah, I said it.
Fuck Kevin O’Leary.
Kevin O’Leary should be in a gulag.
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.
Fucking gross.
Unionize, folks. Solidarity forever!
Hm, unemployment collection and/or EEOC action for constructive dismissal, cool. My disability is “unable to work when off the clock”.
Canada has worker protections, too, so that would get expensive if he tried it at home.
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?
As usual they get to live and their innocent victims pay the price.
You know what would be awesome? If Kevin O’Leary died in a house fire, trapped and begging for his life.
Is that harsh? I gave up caring years ago. These people have every possible resource at their disposal to not be absolute pieces of shit. But they just can’t stop doing shit that leaves millions of people dead, injured, or much more commonly, in a state of poverty or near poverty for their entire lives because these assholes never learned how to share.
So I’ll say it again: I hope Kevin O’Leary dies in some excruciatingly painful way. Bonus points if him being a jackass kicks it off and he has to suffer the consequences of his own actions.
I didn’t know who he is until this thread, but from the few articles I’ve since read about him, I absolutely hope he dies slowly from acid burns over 95% of his body.
Just a gargantuan piece of shit, the embodiment of capitalism and the perfect, unfiltered example of why it will never really work.

“Billionaire who benefits financially from harassing his employees after hours instead of staffing those hours mad at concept that you shouldn’t do that.”
Repost with that as the title.
I don’t know who Kevin O’Leary, but I can tell I don’t like him.
He’s exactly the person you’d unfairly assume he is based on his face.
Isn’t it weird how common that is though? There’s like some kind of cosmic force shaping people to look like how they are. Probably fashion.
