It’s hardly shocking though.

He’s outspokenly anti-worker and anti-union. Who is surprised that someone who is against workers rights would mistreat their workers?

Yeah the Union is a big one for me, my current employer is also like that. “Hey guys you can share your voice here and speak open about it…” Yes, that’s the problem, it’s open and not really anonymous so what can we talk about. If you can open talk about everything, you don’t have to fear unions.

Where did you hear that? From what I have heard he was in full support of the unions, all he said he wanted to create a company that doesn't require/need a union.

[-] Bread@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Not to be that guy, but in relation to being anti union, he specifically has said that if his employees feel like they needed a Union, then he has failed as a boss. In the sense that it should never get to the point where wanting a Union should come up as LMG should be a good enough work place to where it would be unnecessary to have.

There is a difference. I would want my employees to be happy and compesated enough to where needing a Union is just completely unneeded.

Yeah I get why he thinks that and it's a great goal to have as a boss. But who says that a union is always and entirely set up against him as a boss? If he is such a great boss there could very well be a union that doesn't have to do much. It's a defensive measure for worker's rights and working conditions, not an instituition for offense.

Jesus this bullshit lie needs to stop. The only thing he said is that if his employees started a union that there is nothing he could do about it and he would consider it a personal failure.

But by all means, if there's something I'm missing, please share.

[-] maiskanzler@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

I get your point, but it's more of a bigger picture for me.

Remember that WAN segment about quiet quitting? The vibe was off on that one. Especially keeping the previous remark about unions in mind. Why would he think that he can be owner and main manager of such a big company with gigantic daily content output AND keep his workers best interests in mind at all times? If he is not anti-union he is at the very least wrong on why they are necessary. In the worst case he actually realizes that he could do much better for his workforce.

I have legitimately no idea what remark you're referring to, other than the one I specifically outlined where he categorically did not condemn unions.

Sexual assault, a toxic frat-bro culture, and open misogyny isn't a personal failure?

[-] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Assuming any of that is true, then yes. That wasn't the topic of discussion.
