not the same at all as this is ridiculous but now retired but when working I had days of working from home & as a reverse used to bombard the "bosses" with late night emails (only because I was a night owl) I could see by their replies they were getting irritated which of course increased my emails
I once worked for a department head who would call me at night raging over one problem or another, usually things I had nothing to do with. He was a typical narcissist looking for an easy target to bully. I stopped answering my phone and then said if it didn't stop, I'd leave. It stopped.
I work with sales people who are, for all practical purposes on call 24/7. They cannot understand how anyone else doesn’t think that’s normal.
These people live in a different world from most of society.
Most work salary +commission which used to mean they got paid for their extra time and effort. Corps now promise commissions but when they want new equipment they claim no profit, no commission. They invest your commission into their Capital Improvement costs. Just another legal way to screw us.
No surprise. He's always been an arrogant narcissist. But not totally without merit. His image is perfect for the bulls eye on my dart board or as a print pattern on my toilet paper.
If you want to create an "On-Call" system to be sure someone is always available... fine, but to require all employees or even a group of employees to be tied to their job 24/7 is fucked up. anyone that wants to do that needs to grow up and handle it like an adult
Well, if this is signed into law, then I guess he's going to be facing a LOT of lawsuits if he tries to fire anyone for...complying with the law. What a wanker.
I mean... If I'm going to get paid full overtime rates per hour I'm on call I might consider leaving my phone on, as long as its not actually used frequently.... But we all know that's not how it works.
The most successful cooperative in the world is Mondragón Cooperative and worth $200billion. There are dozens of these types of companies in Europe, especially France and it has a massive quantative impact in the standard of living. There is less wealth hoarding in European countries.
If you call me after hours, you better provide me with a company phone, a number to charge the hours as well. I do not take work calls on my personal phone O’leary
Where do they store all of this audacity? Seriously? LMAO
Could you imagine calling him while he was out to dinner? LOL
I'm sure he would be VERY normal and kind about the whole thing. 😂
Kevin O'Leary can fire anyone who works for him, but he'll soon find he has no employees and no applicants for his posted jobs. Be an a$$hole, win stupid prizes.
Cool. See you at employment tribunal. I advise you not to contact me before then as I will be recording anything. Also good luck when you realise I'm the only person who knows how to do several things that are critical to smooth operation.
I was in the shower when you called and didn't hear the phone ring........
I took out the trash and was talking to my neighbor......
By the time I got to my phone you had hung up..........
My battery died..........

To tell you the truth, I don't do a quick one. It's normally a relaxed one before my daily shower and a clean pair of boxers. You see, I try to keep fresh.

I told my business partners to call me after hours in case of emergency. If that wasn't an emergency, I'd change my #. They knew I wasn't bluffing. :)
Admittedly, there are way more south of the Canadian border...

these are the people who are plowing billions of dollars into sleepstudies that say "you only need 20 minute naps" and "sleep is a state of mind"
