Some workers want to end work at a set time by shutting down laptops, but Kevin O’Leary rejects that approach. He criticizes quiet quitting and rigid adherence to job descriptions and hours, arguing that it leads to failure. He emphasizes that creativity and extra effort are valued in the work environment. O’Leary says people are hired to solve problems, and moving up requires doing what is asked and then more. He frames going beyond as a personal choice driven by desire for success rather than obligation. He also recruits people who treat extraordinary effort as a personal value instead of a transactional one.
"People that shut down their laptop at five want that balance in life, want to go to the soccer game, nine to five only-they don't work for me,"
"Quiet quitting is a really bad idea,"
"Creativity is very much honored in the work environment. People that go beyond to try to solve problems for the organization, their teams, their managers, their bosses, those are the ones who succeed in life."
"You're hired to solve problems. As you move up the feeding chain, and you want to be recognized and eventually be paid more, it's because you did exactly what you were told to do, and then even more."
