"A tech boss applauded one of his workers for selling the family dog so he could return to work in the company’s office.
During a virtual town hall with his employees, Clearlink CEO James Clarke talked about the sacrifices he was seeing from some of the workers who were shedding “blood, sweat, and tears” for the firm.
“I learned from one of our leaders that in the midst of hearing this message, went out and sold their family dog which breaks my heart,” Clarke said as he began to brag about some of his past achievements as the company’s “head of the humanization of pets movement.”*

If working hard was the way to be rich, every coal worker would be billionaire
Nowadays any CEO like that are just spouting their own stupidity on us hardworking Americans. It's sad that we have people like these in the highest position of office getting to enjoy the weath and income while we all take Penny's on a dollar .. America.......
Because Capitalism is one giant multi level marketing
Have you work smart* and hard.
You are so.on.point here!
@@Idiotsincarshere
Unless your intellect is lacking, than you're just a beast if burden.
I actually got fired from my position as GM for allowing my staff to occasionally bring their kids in when they didn’t have childcare. I worked at a recreational place that hosts kids bday parties, school field trips, families - very kid friendly. The head of HR made the comment “well they can’t work and parent at the same time”. I was there… it was NO problem. Not to mention that the staff , despite being incredibly and athletically talented, didn’t make enough money to afford childcare. It broke my heart.
I was working at a Bakery/deli department at a grocery store at the time years back.
1 of my coworkers had gotten permission from the department manager to bring her kid in to work.
She brought her kid. When then same department who gave her permission find out about it, yhr the department manager lost her mind and started yelling at her in front of everybody including her kid and the customers.
The manager still had a job afterwards.
Family owned grocery store.
The family felt sorry for the department manager because her husband died years earlier.
Her husband was also the Department Manager for the same Bakery/Deli (2 separate departments with each of them a department manager. The 2 departments was shared the same area.).
1 of the worst managers I had ever worked with. Did a bad job running the departments.
The odd thing is, she sets her own schedule, she schedule herself to work 7 days per week every single week.
About a year or 2 after I quit, she had a heart attack. She ended up getting fired because she did a No-Call No-Show after her medical leave had ended.
Too bad so sad. Rules are rules
Unfortunately, small businesses cannot afford the risk of a child getting injured at the work site. If a child hit the head at a desk's corner and the parent sue, the business is toast.
@@RR-ds4sd The kid was staying in the customer dining area.
It's people like you who should run for school board
This CEO is showing us the danger of surrounding yourself with only 'Yes Men' OR people that hate you but pretend to respect you; because either way the end result was somebody telling this guy that his speech was a good idea.
Nope!!!! You should NEVER put a job or company that is NOT YOUR OWN ahead of your family, happiness, or health.
Amen.
Micromanaging ceos need to realise that by interfering in everything, you're demotivating your staff because you are telling them you don't trust them to do their jobs
They keep pushing the “worker empowerment “ motivation theory. It’s the perfect time to flatten the structure.
Exact 💯!
@@louis-we3yi
You're listing out things that you do.
@@louis-we3yi Your PROJECTING! It takes one to know one! 🙄
He's exactly what we're talking about when we say "Eat the rich."
😳
It must be terribly taxing to attend meetings, do lunches, and make phone calls all day long.
You should never be fair to your employer. You should never be loyal to them. They are brutally and disgustingly obsessed with money and move upward. They will cut your throat with a smile and say it was your fault.
That's why I don't work on Sundays. They really need someone but fuck that..
If he paid his employees well, they wouldn’t need to side-hustle. That sounds like a management failure to me.
I'd love for everyone to quit, and see how long he's king of a non-functioning company. The people who work there are the ones who make his money.
Wow! That CEO is a disgusting person. Giving praise for abandoning a dog. Such an elitist. Gross.
Maybe the dog was a real jerk.
It would have been nice if the dog could have come to work.
Wow. I thought I was too narcissistic. It must be great knowing that the entire world is all about 'me.'
The real reason they want to force going back to the office is they can show up and delivery these rants in person without the same risk of it getting leaked.
Well... dont they realize that could happen anyway. Everyone has phones with video capability.
Even if they bring you into their office there could be people outside of it standing and recording everything that is happening inside.
CEOs are grossly overpaid, while the people that actually make the money for the company get actively screwed over.
People are paid what the market dictates.
So I actually worked for this Company for almost 9 years. I started as a lower level sales agent and at the time it was the fastest grow Marketing, and Sales Call center in the valley at the time. It was originally owned by a gentleman named Phil Hansen and I know for a fact he would be absolutely disgusted by this man. The company was built on a culture of Family first, and they 100% cared about every employee. This company was considered a top sales force that had #01 marketing positions for Verizon Fios service, Frontier Communications, Quest, Centurylink, Dish Network, Direct TV, and Vivint Alarms.
I watched this company go from owning 1 level of a large 3 story building, to eventually owning the all 3 levels, and the building next to it. They renovated both buildings and provided free drinks, and snacks for everyone, and tons of give always for top sales agents. Yearly Vegas Trips for hundreds of employee's who were considered the best of the best. They even built a slide that went form the 3 floor, to the first floor that many grown adults used, and loved. The main reason they built it was for employees kids. The sad part is when Phil finally decided to sell his share of the business guys like this took over and the company went down hill fast. They went from having 5K employees to now only have less than 750. They had multiple location in Utah, Arizona, and Oregon. Once Covid hit things got worse, and they continued to have layoffs but tried to continue to push for sales with their entire workforce having to work from home.
This man is nothing, and contributed none to what this company once was. If anything he is the primary reason so many like me quit, and will continue to quit. From having a culture of supporting the employees, to being the sworn enemy. He hasn't ever worked hard, and probably never will. He is your everyday average fucktard, that has everything handed to him on a silver plater. I still communicate with many of my friends who still work there and they all pretty much say the same thing that Ana and Cenk are saying. Its sad to see what used to be a great thing, and did a lot of good for people turn into a total shit bag
Damn... sorry to hear that and thanks for sharing
A big problem is that the sociopathic personality is what tends to be promoted and rise to these positions. See also many US politicians. The only way to stop this is for employees to vote with their feet and voters of good conscience to VOTE.
@@curiouspenguin6887 the sad truth is what he did here was try to gain some kind of attention by saying what he said. He literally took a page from the current republican house and used all the same words they used in recent meetings, and debates that have happened. This was an attempt to regain some kind of recognition and get Clearlink on the map again, but it's so far gone that it won't ever recover.
HOW DARE YOU?!? An "everyday average fucctard"; he is an exceptional fucctard- the average ones don't screw over this many people and jacking themselves off
(Google wants to everything to think about the chiiiildren, so the double cc spelling
That is so sad. Remember when it was “cool” to treat your employees well? It didn’t last long, but I remember Google having a great reputation for this and showing how happy employees lead to more productivity and loyalty. Now companies don’t care, because they discovered they don’t have to compete for talent. The mindset now is, “you’re lucky to have a job at all. If you don’t like it, then leave”.
Side note: I desperately want an office slide now.❤
If you are working 2 jobs doesn’t that mean they are working harder than him?
Yup. And / or NOT getting paid enough.
Not if they are not actually working claimed hours at the first job.
Here's their worldview: Are you me? Yes/No
Yes: You're awesome! WHOOOOO!
No: Get to work, you lazy 'stain!
😂 The CEO bragging that he works harder than the employees...DUHHH
I guess I should brag about providing food and clothing for my kids 😜
Dude is probably projecting since he does most likely nothing all day he assumes others do the same. Would love to see this dudes work week.
"Women, sell the family dog AND your children and get to WORK!" - James Clark
I had a CEO who did that ~2012. He marched us all 50 or so across town and had us sit in a theater, got up on stage, and bitched us all out because we didn't work as hard as him. He even told us that one time he cut his finger off but he just threw a bandaid on and went right back to work. It was a software company. I'm still not sure how he cut his finger off.
Did no one yell "hold up your hands" to make sure he wasn't lying (about that as well)?
@@Sephiroth144 hahaha he DID hold up his hand and pointed it out. One of his fingers is actually short. The funny thing was like, his finger was one of those office lore stories. Everyone knew it already, no one was shocked. He just thought like, I don't know, it earned him some cred or something.
I mean, scientifically, you have a high probability of being a sociopath if you're a CEO.
Entire work base should quit.
Exactly, everyone working there should quit immediately
"Quiet quitting," has two different meanings. When you're an employer, what it means is that your employees are not putting more effort or enthusiasm into the performance of their duties than is absolutely required. As such, it is a misnomer, because the employee or employees in question haven't actually resigned their positions and are still taking a paycheck.
From an Employee's perspective, Quiet-Quitting means doing your job as it was written in your job description. No more, no less. If you want people to do more, then pay them more. You don't work for free, why should they?
This concerns me about USA. You don't have paid Maternity Leave or scheduled paid Annual Leave.
The USA has an increasing culture of employees being very badly exploited. It will end badly
We are talking about fully grown adults who have not showing up to actual work in 3 years and are crying about the person who writes their paycheck telling them come to work.
@@Idiotsincarshere they are working. The fact that you need to be in an office to be able to work doesn't mean everybody does
@@huptey9381 Get back to work. You’re worse than a child.
‘Killed two of his kids (kept his favorite) and came back to the office’ such a good worker…
This man doesn’t work hard. Billionaires are the PROBLEM with this country.
Hey billionaires, pay us a living wage or you can work all by yourselves,
The guy clearly comes from a privileged background and has had it pretty easy in terms of connections and access to things most people aren't so his societal awareness is zero.
Avg. CEO compensation is 400X that of frontline workers-I find it hard to believe they work 400X harder or more hours than I do. I put in 360 days last yr for $34K.
No one should work for that guy … ever! It's not worth compromising one's health, dignity, happiness, and prosperity.
I would sleep in a van down by the river before I worked for him.
I would never humanize dogs. I would never sink them to our level.
His wife probably doesn’t work, and they probably have a nanny.
The wife is mostly in Florida. They have a nanny, gardener, and maintenance man down there.
@@MrCurt-yz7tf 😂😂😂 ofcourse they do. And he wants to micro manage working mothers. Oy vey
@@MrCurt-yz7tf And the pool guys who are over every other day- the "pool" must need "cleaning" quite often.
The family dog thing broke me!! The fact that he is praising his employee for doing that is disgusting!
Time to seek better employment laws to protect employees.
Keep exposing CEO’s PLEASE!
Quiet quitting doesn’t mean they aren’t doing their jobs. It means they are only doing the job they are being paid for during the hours they are being paid for. Nothing more. Nothing less. They aren’t going “the extra mile” and giving up their free time for an employer that doesn’t give a damn about them or fairly compensate them.
hear hear
How out-of-touch is this CEO?
If your selling your dog it's because you can't make ends meet!! Not because your personal profit margin didn't meet last year's goal or they think he's about to literally experience poverty level.
I love what Anna said..."Do you know what type of employees DON'T work second jobs? Well paid ones."
As someone who has been teleworking for several years, the fact that someone hasn't opened their laptop in a month isn't synonymous with that employee not working for a month. I have a laptop given to me from my employer that has a VPN installed. However, if I'm not using the VPN, I do most of my work on my own personal computers that are far better than the cruddy work issued laptop. Alternatively, I can download everything I need in one session and then work off of 365. Unless I a need to access the company server directly, most of my work stuff is in the cloud or in email attachments and easily accessible without needing to log in to the VPN. I had this same discussion with my employer several years ago and by every metric, I was more productive teleworking. What's often the case is that employers don't understand how their employees work.
Childcare is one of the biggest examples of stolen labor in our country. Why we are not subsidizing paying people to take care of kids is beyond me.
Since when is a side hustle or taking 2 jobs any of your company’s business??
Sad part is, in Germany it's listed, a second job costs 70% taxes. And in most contracts it says you have to tell HR. So here it is covered unfortunately
Hey Jimmy: news flash: Let's take a look at five of the most common characteristics of a narcissist in order to create awareness.
Inflated Ego. Those who suffer from narcissism usually seem themselves as superior to others. ...
Lack of Empathy. ...
Need for Attention. ...
Repressed Insecurities. ...
Few Boundaries.
Bankrupt him, don't purchase a single product from him.
The ceo is copyright striking anyone who posts the video. TYT is basically telling him "come at me Bro, try me"
Thumbs up
The CEO is implying that the women should sacrifice and give up their kids like the guy sacrificed and gave up his dog.
Ill match your hours for 50% of your salary. Wanna match my hours for double my salary? I didnt think so ...
Am I "quiet quitting" or have I been "quiet fired"? The way I see it, Im re-aligning my productivity to match my financial compensation.
just cutting some losses, boss.
I can only assume he expects his workers to give up their kids for adoption so they can work.
If I made $30 an hour instead of $20 an hour, I would be much more agreeable to working the 10-12 hour days that are so often expected in my job. But when my time is being valued at a rate that is barely enough to scrape by, I'm going to offer back enough effort to do my job and nothing more. That's how it works.
30 employers did not open their laptop, sell the dog...this guy is a liar.
Evryone there should resign and go elsewhere.
By comparison, He can't be a full time CEO and a good father..
By comparison you can’t be a full time CEO and a good human being.
"Utah based tech company" say no more
I hope everyone there quits
I've worked at a lot of companies like this. Some demanded 60+ hours a week (for 40 hours pay). Some bragged their parking lot was full every weekend. Pressuring employees not to go home at night to take care of sick family members or take their vacation days. Slamming employees and entire departments for not delivering on "commitments" given to them, which they immediately said were impossible. Corporate America is disgusting.
Btw, I like how Ana is asking" what's up with the CEOs these days". same as with cops, they were always like that only now it's on video for everyone to see...
This guy is *proud* of neglecting his family? That's pathetic (and a bit sad).
His wife is a literal slave, she doesn’t mind. It’s her religion to worship & believe in her husband, & follow him in everything he says & does.
Sounds like Will Farrell making a parody of a CEO.
As an IT guy.. I'd put money on their asset tracking software being out of sync or shit.
OR like most of us do, we use our personal computers to do work because the company buys crap tin cap laptops.
OR the IT team hasn't updated the register and there are a handful of miss-allocated.
Screw this little snowflake ceo. I hope his workers find better jobs.
In this day and age nobody has to work for a company like this. That's the beauty of it. He clearly has massive issues in his personal life and needs to be evaluated by the board for fitness to be CEO.
Workers of the world unite!
Move to China.
Context:
This guy returned to a company he founded years ago. While he was gone, the executives that took over created an amazing, flexible culture. They were starting to transition to remote work before the pandemic hit.
Throughout the pandemic, they learned employees were working harder at home. They also realized folks were burning themselves out, so they instituted a half-day Friday policy to promote self-care.
When Clarke returned to the company, he swore up and down and all around that employees would be able to continue to work remote and keep the half-day Fridays. Then when employees were upset at this change, he became offended for ??? reasons.
As far as employee have been informed, the company is not losing money. It’s simply failing to meet growth goals Clarke and his new execs picked.
This is an awesome company that’s being ruined by out-of-touch leadership.
Source: I know multiple people who work there.
Once again, work is not related to timesheets or location. It is RESULTS based. Seems goals were unrealistic.
Thank you for sharing this Info and giving further common sense. I still see enough comments, be it trolls or other Management guys, who agree with that d*bag in the Video 😂
What's hilarious is that there's thousands of ways employees can screw the corporation and their bosses. Pissing off employees and treating them like shit is the stupidest thing you can do.
What's wrong with CEOs is the same thing that's wrong with everyone today: we are literally losing our minds. Everyone but you and me, and I'm starting to worry about you.
Care about the company as much as I do, but don't ask to be compensated as much as I do! 😂😂😂
Sociopath is what he displayed
Quiet quitting is simply doing your job and what is required from you, nothing more.
Why wouldn't you pull a paycheck for that? Going above and beyond is not a requirement of employment.
He's among the leaders of humanization of pets. Simultaneously, he's among the leaders of dehumanization of humans.
Why are mothers only the conversation around parenting do fathers not have mutual accountability?
I hope people keep recording these CEOs. This shit is ridiculous.
HARD WORK IS RIDICULOUS NOW?
@@KINGDJT king of trumpers (to trump is to fart)
The US is the least family-friendly 'first world' country in the world. Working households are expected to have both parents spend their day at jobs so they can afford... daytime child care by strangers. Now republicans expect the child to work as well so that rich shareholders who don't add value to any products or sales but merely reap the value created by those workers can take luxury vacations on their luxury yachts and claim all of that as 'work expense' because they shoot off a few e-mails in the meantime.
How about I log my next excursion to a bowling alley on my time sheet because I spend it also talking 'about work?'
He wants the parents to sell their children with the dog too.
Obviously you’ll have to get rid of the family dog and children. But you’ll get a shoutout of praise for your sacrifice from the ceo
Will he sell his dogs?
Employees may not be opening their laptops because they use VMWare or Citrix when they are at home which can be installed on any computer and allows them to use larger displays which their employers will not fork over money for them to use in the office.
What do employees get when they put in all that extra time. Usually nothing. What does the owner get when employees put in all that extra time? MOre money in his pocket.
I am retired now and worked for companies that demanded overtime but never paid for it because I was a salaried employee.
I did it for over 20 years, so took my savings and started my CPA firm..days are hard working to get clients & build something but not the almost mental breakdown stress of working at a company & getting more & more work piled on without your buy-in
Take vacations and call off when you need to
These companies don’t give af about you
I thought this was a parody or a joke but upon further research this CEO was real . All his employees should quit and just let him use AI .
Shit he'd probably want that tbh. Severance is a bitch
"They haven't opened their laptops in a month"... Perhaps because their docks don't require the laptop to be open? 🤔
Work for gold, get paid in silver with tin benefits.
Paid in silver? More like paid in dogsh*t.
@@MiniatureMasterClass I agree the pay would be dog crap level
Current Clearlink employee here, and I can tell you-for a fact-that the whole "30 remote employees didn't even open their laptops for a month" thing does NOT tell the full story.
In short, there were a number of tech employees who were having issues with their work laptops, and, rather than requesting new laptops (because those were having issues with certain internal systems, too) decided to work using their own personal computers at home, 'cause most of them had better equipment than what the company provided, anyway.
But those personal computers, of course, didn't have the company's tracking software installed on them, so you can probably see why that would raise a few questions.
Does this represent all 30 of said employees? I don’t know, but I know it represents at least some of them.
That having been said, the fact that Clearlink's CEO cited this little factoid as a justification for forcing a return to office-with only two weeks' notice-at BEST demonstrates he was ignorant of the full story, but at worst shows he was being disingenuous in the extreme.
If this is your real name you should probably delete this comment before your CEO goes on an Elon-like rage fire.
APEP: Attack process and engage with people. Upper management need to understand and learn this principle.
We all know that many CEOs think this way but are usually smart enough to keep it to themselves. Clearly Harvard forgot to teach common sense.
What a rectal cavity
I just learned a new insult! And how fitting! Thanks!
I challenge everyone here, no one can outmatch my salary! You can't possibly sell your dog for anywhere near the amount of money I made just yesterday!
I need a Will Ferrell skit of this
Reminds me of an old boss who told me "Lay offs are coming and only those who show dedication will survive" because I wanted to take Easter off to be with family. This was after working 12 hours a day for 70 some days without a day off. So glad I'm self employed now.
Tax the rich harder.
Blasting employees about remote work on a Zoom call. The irony is totally lost on this guy.
Lol, well this is him showing his workers that he works the hardest I guess!
From what I understand, “quiet quitting” is when you do the required work and effort mandated by your employer, but nothing more than that. Sooooo….if someone doesn’t stay late, attend non mandatory meetings, complete more work than the position they occupy is required to complete…that’s “quiet quitting?”
If you want your employees to stay longer and work harder then you should pay them better wages and give better benefits and/or bonuses. Give workers a reason to commit themselves more to their jobs.
But I thought full filling the job requirements was what you get paid to do. You don’t get paid to do beyond that.
Yes that's what the term "quiet quitting" means. And of course it's a load of nonsense.
Sounds like a leadership problem to me, many people work their butts off working remotely. I have seen people dedicate and sacrifice for the company that they worked for only to get screwed and pimped in the end. Its a balancing act in this dog eat dog corporate world.
Some folks not opening their laptops doesn't actually necessarily mean they weren't working. I've known folks who just used their personal PCs from home because the company issued laptops were dated and had poor performance or specs, and using the official laptop was a significant hinderance to their productivity. It might be workers slacking off, but it might be workers who don't want to have their productivity held back by the company's lack of investment in workers.
Or they could perform the tasks on their phones.
But hell, if they tracked this metric, no one called the employees after a week and went "so, um, what's going on, Bill?" Seriously, if they weren't getting their work done, it would've come up before then.
First the office furniture CEO and now this guy.
Meanwhile our CEO brought cake to the weekly status meeting.
Quiet quitting: AKA doing exactly what our contract tells us to do, to do what we were hired for and nothing less.
We’re in a real sorry state if that’s considered “inadequate.”
Yep 💯. And if you wanna pay me minimum wage then be ready to get minimum effort.
I used to work at clearlink. Glad I got out.
Get your ass to work and your kids to daycare! LMAO
These CEO’s are out of control. I’m so glad someone takes the initiative to record these internal meetings, because what is even happening. The way some of these CEO’s talk to people, is just… insane. 😫
This guy sounds like every boss I've had had for the past 20 years. This is why quality of service has fallen off the cliff. I'd bet money none of his employees actually respect him or give a shit about his company.
When I took on the great challenge of starting my own business, I had no clue what I would have to sacrifice to establish a profitable business; no days off, 80 hours work weeks; using every cent of my savings, etc.
But employees are just that...they punch in, they punch out unless the employer is willing to compensate them, without pressure and threats...the employers that do this are narcissistic sociopath assholes! If he wants them to work like him, pay them like him. 🤮
I’m an LPN and while working at a hospital I called in for the next day because my son, who was 3 at the time, had a bad ear infection with a high fever and needed to go to the doctor for medication. The male supervisor that night first asked if my husband could take him and when I told him he couldn’t. He told me I needed to chose between my son and my job. I told him I would be choosing my son and and would be back to work the following day and if he didn’t like it, oh well. I was fuming!!
Good on you! and this happened in the health sector 🙄 Horrifying - and uncivilized
Like you'd go: Oh, never mind then. I just stay and outperform myself!
Not to rub it in, but the unions in Scandinavia fought a long battle to for the right to stay home on your child's 1st sick day. You are then ment to find alternative child care for any further days.
If you need to take your child to a health appointment you are ENTITLED to go with your child.
If you have a child suffering something cronic, that obviously is going to keep you from work more than "normal", arrangements will be made, so the company can be compensated. Mostly you simply work less ours, and you will be compensated for loss of income.
The philosophy is, if you can't care for your kid, we'll have to pay someone else to do it...... This is best, cheapest and easiest solution!
Peace and love
Interesting, my sister in law uses her 10 sick days for each kid any year + 10 sick days for herself + 30 paid holidays - 12 weeks off + home office - public service in Germany
One of the silver linings of the pandemic is that these meetings are public that would've otherwise been private
CEO of a Marketing company?
🤣
1 of the worst Marketings I have ever seen.
Maybe this company could sell this CEO for the price of that dog.
