Vegas Employer fires 22 employees

http://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2012/11/07/vegas-employer-obama-won-so-i-fired-22-employees/

I think we will be seeing a lot of this in the future.  Some of these taxes we will start to see take affect are hurting small business.

  • Wow, what a jerk! 
  • What a ***.  Nothing changed between Monday and Wednesday.  If he could afford them Monday then he could afford them Wednesday.

  • So he fired people before anything even went into place? He's probably the same one that will complain about people living off the government as a result of being unemployed.

    He may even surpass the CEO of Papa John's as supreme greedy bastard who bitched from his mansion about raising the price of pizza 10 cents so his employees could have health care.

    Yep. Obviously the business was already going down the toilet, Obama was his excuse.

    Oh yeah, that one was awesome and started a whole mini-discussion on my FB about how most of us were totally willing to pay an extra 13 cents for things like Pizza to give more people health care.

  • What an @sshole.

    Businesses don't have employees to be nice or to do them favors. They hire people because they need them - because they have work that needs to be done and they need to hire people to do it. If he is laying off 22 people just because, then he didn't need them in the first place, and that's his own fault as a crappy business owner who can't efficiently manage his business. It's certainly not Obama's. 

     

    Way to reinforce the idea that business owners don't give a crap about their employees, their communities, or anything else besides their own profits.

    I love that the guy knows what an a hole he's being which is why he wants to stay anonymous so people won't stop patronizing his business because of his own awful behavior.

  • You do realize this was knee-jerk reactionary and that those taxes haven't taken affect yet, right? 

    Also, do you have a pin-up of Grover Norquist above your bed?

  • That guy is an idiot and an asshole. I wish the best to those who lost their jobs because of a bitter old man.

  • What did his employees being Hispanic have to do w/ anything? Why did he even mention that? Than he couldn't mention the type of business he was in. Sounds sketchy to me.
