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.
Who the fuck would call their employee after hours? In none of the places I’ve ever worked, would the boss even think about calling me to do something when I’m not at work. Nobody would expect me to answer. You don’t need a law about basic things like that.
But see this is america where workers have paltry few rights. So we do need laws about basic shit like this. In the IT field on-call and after hours work is just expected, you’re expected to answrr calls and emails etc. It’s awful. So it’d be nice if there laws against it.
See, you’re just lucky. Many folks don’t have good bosses, so a law like this is good.
So You need a law for normal, decent behavior?
Your comments tell me you’re in the wrong sub.
I think it’s pretty clear from my comment that I don’t need that law. But some people do, because some people have bosses who will not behave normally and decently unless forced to.
First day in the human race?
I’m sure this fat greedy fuck would be edible if we slow roasted him, basted with a nice strong chili sauce
Some people think that barbecue - the cooking method where a piece of meat is slowly smoked for hours, often with a flavorful rub or sauce - was invented to make human meat palatable.
These freaks are really bringing me around to the idea.
“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.
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.
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
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).
Call his ass after hours constantly and see how he likes it.
Kevin O’Leary should be in a gulag.
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.
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.
Fuck Kevin O’Leary.
🍽
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.
He’s known as “Mr. Wonderful” because of how marbled and tender his cuts will be when he is harvested and eaten.
So you’ll pay a livable wage plus overtime everytime you call me outside work yeah?
He doesn’t get overpay himself for these hours, why should you? /s
… and an on-call premium so you are always available
A couple hundred years ago, Kevin O’Leary would be whipping his slaves to death for objecting to being raped.
With the right vote he could be doing that in a few years too.
There’s a lot of talk these days about people being cancelled. This guy seems like the sort of person that would be an excellent candidate for it. I believe we, as a society, ought to collectively express our disgust at this kind of behavior.
So how is it done? How do we figuratively light the signal fires of Gondor and call forth the hosts to confront this evil?
Boycott the companies funding them
Guillotine?
If Kev and his cronies keep pushing their neofeudalist garbage, that might just be the solution we’ll see.
Rich asshole with a reality TV show? Probably just as likely that we elect him president, wait for him to commit treason and more felonies than anyone can reasonably keep track of, and then fail to hold him meaningfully accountable for any of it.
