"If you're a Gen Zer and you can execute, and you can hit your mandate and deliver it on time, you move up and you make more money. If you have to be in an office, why? Is my question? We do have people that sit in cubicles, but I'd rather hire somebody who can execute and sit in their basement or in their backyard."
"O'Leary, whose own employees are spread between London, Los Angeles, and Canada, said this ability to execute also has little to do with whether an employee is in the office or not. His unnamed employee who started working for him a year-and-a-half ago in the United Arab Emirates quickly moved up the ladder because the kid can execute."
Kevin O'Leary emphasizes that Gen Z success depends on execution and delivering results on time, not office presence. He prioritizes hiring employees who can accomplish their mandates efficiently, whether working remotely or in-office. O'Leary cites an employee in the UAE who advanced quickly due to strong execution capabilities. He questions the necessity of office requirements, stating he would rather hire someone who executes effectively from anywhere than someone in a cubicle who doesn't deliver. This perspective contrasts with current corporate trends where companies like Amazon, Instagram, and Microsoft are implementing return-to-office mandates.
