This angers me. If it wasn't for employees many employers be living in a box under the turnpike, because shit doesn't get done by wishful thinking alone.
That's what gets me, this guy has such a one-sided opinion that he can't even realize his workers are the ones literally making him his money. No workers, no money coming in.
"They should be grateful to have a job." Yup, and he should be just as grateful anyone is willing to work for him, because without them he goes nowhere.
He does not understand economics.
He is a “Property Developer”. In his “perfect world” of employees working 16 hour days and not getting paid, that also means that half of the rental homes do not have tenants, half of small businesses in shopping centres don’t have customers and half of all his “Developed Properties” are empty.
He is just a Fuckwit who was given a silver spoon and doesn’t actually comprehend how reality works.
