    Kevin O’Leary accidentally made some money in the late 90s and hasn’t got a clue what work looks like. He hasn’t had a 5 day work week in decades. It’s like asking Woz what he thinks of Apple’s decision to do X in 2026. Well, except that woz is still a cool guy by all accounts.

      I bet he thinks he works every day because he’s constantly bugging his employees for shit on their days off.

    He’s absolutely right, though. Four day workweek is stupid. I’m all about that three-day workweek

    I wonder if he knows just how much a skilled office worker can slack off in a given week.

    On paper I work five days but really it’s like part time three days a week. But don’t tell my boss.

      A skilled worker does five days’ worth of work over five days, whether that’s one day of work each day, or five days of work one day plus four days of slacking off.

        They also tactfully lower the expectations of what “one day of work” actually looks like

    Sure thing O’leary, you and me. Pick a time and place. I will happily be there to show you a place where money has no power.

      He’s that guy that used his wealth and money to cover up that his wife killed two people in a boat crash

    I seriously doubt this guy is important enough to have competent security. Somebody just do it already

      I tend not to point out typos on the internet, but this one is, uh, truly unfortunate. You may want to edit.
