SLAM! So effective. I’m thankful it’s utterly useless in this case though.
says the guy who definitely blows up his employee’s phones after hours
…and is irritated when he gets after hours calls.
Yeah he is one of those that won’t respond when people try to work out if issue is resolved
Oh, you just know that dickbag has an answering service, still. My asshole of a father did until he retired earlier this year.
“Who dreams this crap up?”
Working class people who make .5% what you do and don’t want to eat, sleep, and breathe work, you fucking fascist turd goblin.
Kevin O’Leary’s annual income is reported at $40+ million. The average salary in the US is About $60k. The number you’re looking for is 0.15%.
Sounds like he should get domed along with everyone like him (and everyone that supports/bootlicks him).
but if you don’t work while you eat and sleep how am i supposed to sit on my ass and complain about you all day
.00000000…00001% of you do *
The insane thing is you are probably missing a few 0’s in there for the percentage. Maybe .05% or .005% depending on the company.
.5% is generous. Kevin is a billionaire. If workers made .5% of even a single billion dollars, that’s 5 million dollars.
Fuck you, pay me.
He’s also ignoring the fact that if your job’s responsibilities are mission-critical, chances are you have a contract which stipulates situations in which you can be contacted after hours. It’s about Joe Schmoe IT guy being called in at 7pm while he’s having dinner with his family and being told to come to work because Greg the assistant to the Sales VP forgot his password again. Greg can fuck right off until tomorrow morning.
The server going down at 2am is mission-critical and the guy in charge of it will definitely be answering that call to fix it.
At my job we’re expected to at least try to be available if needed after hours which in my 3 years here has happened once and it took about 30 minute and I waited until my son went to bed for the night.
In return we get to leave for doctors appointments, picking up kids, errands etc without having to use PTO or make up the time. It’s a pretty sweet deal for the developers and no one abuses it to much.
At my old job they tried to get us to work after hours pretty frequently for a fraction of what our hourly rate was, we were salaried but when you broke it down you’d be getting like $20 an hour instead of $50. Ridiculous and almost no one did it.
Right, but he’s placing a subtle idea on people that wage theft isn’t a thing, overtime shouldn’t be a thing, and we shouldn’t have regulation for that. There’s a reason SREs get paid so much money, and it’s because it’s in their contract that they have to be the ones to rotate shifts and be up at 2am during an upgrade or otherwise, and he’s just mad he can’t pay everyone less and make more money
Just average capitalist things. Nothing to see here.
You beat me to it 😂
but that’s why we made you salary with low wages!
The only correct answer. Pay for that availability if needed around the clock.
he said in a clip he shared of a recent interview with Fox News
ahh yes, as broadcasted to the group who are consistently brainwashed to vote against their own best interests. mission accomplished
If employees start ignoring their boss’s calls, texts, and emails outside of work hours, an after-hours emergency might have to wait until the next business day, which O’Leary finds unacceptable.
Did this fucking fascist consider hiring more staff and going 24/7? How is it the problem of salaried workers that their boss is too fucking cheap to hire enough people to get the level of support that he wants?
I made this a few years ago, about 6 months before walking out on a job I’d had for 11 years.
Fuck all these sociopaths. Right in the ear. With a rusty spoon.
And all these laws have carveouts for emergencies. Although I have a feeling Mr O’Leary would probably count having to do a presentation on Monday morning for some guy he met golfing over the weekend an emergency.
If your service needs to operate 24/7, then it needs to be staffed 24/7. If it doesn’t need to operate 24/7, then staff will resolve the issue during normal work hours. Most businesses have IT teams stagger their start time so that someone comes in early and can deal with issues that may have risen the night before and prior to other employees arriving.
Call his ass after hours constantly and see how he likes it.
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.
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.
Fucking gross.
Unionize, folks. Solidarity forever!
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.
