Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: “We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around.”

Adding 40% to 0 is still 0 - we need to add, like, a million %.

I hate to break it to you, but 1,000,000*0 is still 0. And before you ask, yes so is 1,000,000,000*0

Counterpoint: maybe he needs to learn that he’d be nothing without the backs of the workers for him to stand on.

Baseball bats are easier to explain. Just keep a glove and a baseball next to one in your backseat or trunk. “Yeah officer, I like to go play down at the park with my friends.”

Just want to clear the record and say that every business owner thinks this, it’s just that this jackass has the stupidity to say it out loud. They don’t want to pay more, which has become a necessity since the pandemic due to low unemployment rates. By having a larger labor pool, they can cut wages to take advantage of people’s desperation.

Hi there, business owner here. I wouldn’t dare to think this about my employees as they drive our business forward. I’m also a huge proponent of working from home (1 day in the office is nice, but not mandatory). I also try to compensate them and cut them in on our profits - before I take my own cut mind you. Happy workers = better productivity.

This is the “Millenials eat too much avocado toast” guy. He lives on rage bait and generating headlines.
