Tepper talks layoffs and the reasons behind them.

[Jeremy Igo]

Good work here by Jonathan Jones pushing Tepper to speak on the layoffs more. 

 

[Jeremy Igo]

I doubt any laid off personnel would say it was good for them in this jobs market climate. 

 

Nothing for them to do? Maybe see that as an opportunity to train them to do something else. Do what it takes to keep good people around until this all clears up. 

 

Unless, of course, he wanted to get rid of them anyways because thats what he wanted to do. Which is fine, it is his team.

LMFAOOO it's better for them...IN THIS ECONOMY?!!

[Cookie Lyon]

Whew chile…..

[Jeremy Igo]

We are letting you go during a pandemic and record unemployment. But don't worry, it is good for you. 

[Burnout189]

Not good to sit in an organization for a year or more with nothing to do?

Good thing he doesn't work in the government sector, ooooo-wwwweeeeee.

[PhillyB]

WOW.

my respect for this dude just tanked. what an epic ass.

[ellis]

Make of that what you will, friends.

Tepper didn’t become a billionaire by not having business sense. It may sound harsh but he has to do what he thinks is best.

[Basbear]

Seems Tepper is also great at bullshit too. Hes got it justified in his mind. 

[hepcat]

Dudes net worth probably skyrocketed in the market this year and he’s laying people off because they have “nothing to do”

bullshit 

[onmyown]

It’s a business who cares.

I don’t like his answers though. He’s trying too hard to defend himself. He owns the business and can do what he wants. A, ‘tough business decisions had to be made’, would have sufficed. Now he just looks like a jackass.

[Waldo]

He needs to hire a PR firm ASAP. If he has one already, he needs to fire those people and find new ones. This off the cuff stuff is a complete bomb. Nicole cried? So moving...

Maybe the government can step in and appoint some bureaucrats to boards of private companies to stop this from happening in the future. No single person should have so much power over so many individuals. Tax the man and take possession of what he has paid for, lest the next American Revolution take place.

For real though, what he is saying that it isn't good for a person to have nothing to advance themselves with as an individual for two years. Surely he could essentially employ someone and play the role of government and pay their unemployment through a regular paycheck or he could allow, begrudgingly, to seek out their own path. 

Of course everyone would rather sit and do nothing as he proposed most of those laid off would be doing. I suppose that is the Leftist way though. UBI, here we come...
