What do you guys think of Linus joke that he made in the video "7 gamers 1 CPU is back!" towards his employee Colton?...

I'm not saying anything regarding him or so in this thread, just simply towards the joke that he made. Which I think the joke was a wrong move. Especially looking at the guys reaction to it.

 
Yeah, quite mean. That's one employee that's due to go postal on Linus's ass.

Come to think of it, that's a LTT video I'd actually watch all the way to the end. HEADSHOT!!!
 
It's hard to be in charge yet still have fun or muck around. Clearly it was a joke but yeah the guy didn't realize that straight away.

Don't forget in the US and Canada the workplace laws may be completely different to what you're experienced with.

We certainly just can't fire people without really good cause here.
 
I'm not sure about the rest of Europe, but here in Sweden you have what's called a "temporary employment", which usually is 6 months long, after that you can get a permament employment. If not, the employer can fire you without any specific reason.

But if you're a permanent one, they have to give a reason/good cause.

P.S. Used the terms "temporary" and "permanent" to easier explain things.

That's like Part Time here or similar
 
Yeah similar. Once you're permanent it's really hard here to fire someone. That's why most companies like to put people on fixed term contracts where possible.

That is why there putting people on Contracts now, But Contracts aren't anything new I first heard about them 20 Years ago.
 
Is it about the 'oh you're doing nothing so you're fired, because you should be working' joke? I actually thought that was funny. If you've seen many of his vids you'll know he's done that a huge number of times with Luke as well, so imo it's just his kind of humour as a boss :p
