Honestly, I prefer to keep work and home life separate.
ReplyWork makes me miserable, and I do not want to associate that with the simple pleasure of being at home.
Why would O’Leary care if his employees want to work at home? It’s one less cost for him downsize the office and more profits. Would have been nice to see Bill ask some hard questions like why we make all of our crap overseas gutting North American manufacturing that only hurts us in the short and long run. Supply chain issues? Bring back manufacturing! Notice how on Shark Tank every “Shark” just wants to manufacture the product in China and make more profits? Great for the guys at the top but we are cutting off North Americas nose to spite our face. O’Leary doesn’t think the super rich should pay their fair share? Big surprise.
Reply1) The deal is people are more productive minus the commuting time
Reply2) There is a serious problem in commercial real estate that has yet to be dealt with.
I would LOVE to live on a farm. I hate cities.
ReplyO’leary didn’t seem to want to even acknowledge that there are people doing the worst jobs there are for the worst money. Thinking like that is what makes people truly hate rich people. The worst jobs should pay a ton in a perfect world. This guy trying to “justify” Elon Musk’s 300 billion only made both of them look greedy and entitled. At least Musk is paying some taxes. Whats happend to noblesse oblige? The french learned the hard way that if you take too much money from a people that they will stop you eventually – unless you acknowledge that you are over paid and do a lot for your town, your country.
ReplyI like Bill, but he was so dismissive of someone who wanted to live on a farm, who even grew up on a farm. Without farms, where all dead.
Reply“Who wants to live on a farm?”
ReplyWho wants to live in a rat infested, small apartment where you need to have the TV on to sleep because you can hear your neighbors arguing and sirens blaring all night long? Bill’s life experiences are so limited for his age, it’s almost insane how little he can see outside of his bubble.
Who wants to work on a farm? Nevermind that, who the hell wants to work for Kevin O’Leary?
I’ll tell you why his people don’t want to come back: Him.
You’re better than this guy Bill.
ReplyAlot of people bill would like to live on a farm or a rural area. Cities are beautiful but expensive and crowded. Rural areas are beautiful in their own way. And quiet and more affordable
ReplyToo bad you have no clue about any details of Riitenhouse case. Slam dunk innocent self defense that should have never been a trial. Quick to label him as a wanna be super hero. Because, he actually is a hero.
ReplyRich douchebag let’s us know he’s fine with workers having autonomy, how brave
ReplyI like O’Leary as a character, but damn he is so out of touch.
ReplyI wonder how much enthusiasm for WFH will still be there in a year, 2 years, 5 years, etc. Both from workers who love it now and stakeholders/bosses who are offering it as an option. Will we revert back to the same old grind of commutes and open office floor plans and coworkers in some cases shoulder to shoulder?
ReplyAll the shit-hole bosses are upset over this —no-one to piss on and control.
Reply“Office culture” is toxic. Everywhere. Human beings are not cogs in a machine.
ReplyI hope companies pay people expenses for turning their homes into offices. All that fax paper and phone bills and storage space…..
ReplyThe only reason Leary likes this is cause he can lower his employees wages for not being at the office while getting rid of some office leases which means a win win situation for the rich guy.
ReplyMaher is so disconnected
