    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”.

    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.

    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?

      We could less-figuratively use O’Leary as the signal fires of Gondor.

      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.

          He tried putting his hat in the ring for Canada’s PM. Didn’t get much momentum. His wife killing a guy with their boat came back up in the news. There’s speculation she took the fall for him because he was drunk and killing people while drunk driving your boat is generally frowned upon in Canada.

      Everyone should send these shitty people drawings of poop. Good ones, bad ones. Whatever your drawing level… draw a poop, lable it with “poop” if youre not sure theyll get it and send it. That should get across that we collectively think they are shit.

      These types of assholes usually have po box for their businesses at the very least. On their website they typically have some sort of mailing address under “contact us.”

      If we can get inundated with junk mail everyday from shitty businesses advertising I think we can return the favor on this one.

      Edit - put the return address from the north pole

          The mail carriers didn’t do anything wrong, why would I send something through the mail that could completely ruin their day?

          I’m looking to offend that rich cunt, not some poor worker who has to clean up a package full of shit if it gets destroyed in transit. Plus, mailing a piece of paper with a drawing of shit is far cheaper than mailing a box.

              I like that one a lot more! No censoring to worry about.
              I’d really love for this to take off. It’s a way to protest that people can participate in without having to disrupt their lives or take time off from work.

                So how do we do this? Post the campaign on anti work, work reform, etc? Do we want to post elsewhere, or see how far this goes on Lemmy?

                  Honestly I have no idea and just kinda posted that without thinking too far ahead, not even sure if it was a good idea or if it would get any traction. I’m excited that there’s at least some interest!

                  Post it whereever you think people would be interested in participating! Maybe start on lemmy first then branch out once people here seem to be aware of it? Then just see what happens! Hopefully some folks will participate.

                  I plan on sending some poop drawings this weekend to get the ball rolling. Maybe I’ll post a pic of it on lemmy too to spread the word!

        That vote’s coming in western Canada. So many short-sighted hillbillies rage-voting in some fatcat climate-change denying moron hell-bent on killing healthcare and personal autonomy under the banner of “woke==bad”. All the Dodge RAM pilots are eating it up – and not just to soak up the rye before heading out.

          The ag industry just got thrown under the bus because the Liberals needed to suck american cock and bring in a tariff on Chinese EVs that nobody wanted. It’s not protecting anything in Canada, and now all canola shipments are under “dumping review” by China as retribution.

          Hundreds of thousands of people in agriculture affected by this in order to accomplish nothing, but hey, we’re used to it. No wonder he doesn’t have any friends west of Ontario.

    Is this the one that mentions his Swedish virgin made underwear every time someone pitches an underwear brand on one of pretty those shows that usually end up being ‘roast my business’?
