If you have dreams of never working Fridays again, you may want to lower your expectations—at least if you work for Mr. Wonderful.
Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary, who’s known for his blunt communication style, was asked about a growing trend among workers for a four-day workweek. It’s something that France, in particular, is exploring, on top of already capping work at 35 hours.
“That’s the stupidest idea I have ever heard,” O’Leary told Fox News.
“I think we should let the French go to a two-day workweek and then kick their ass internationally.”
At the same time, the 70-year-old acknowledged that the traditional 9-to-5, five days a week work schedule is not what it used to be. In fact, with 40% of his staff working remotely around the world, he admitted he doesn’t care when his staff does their work—as long as it gets done on time.
