Home Depot's cofounder — who retired in 2002 — says he doesn't want the 'woke generation' leading business because of their 'laziness'

Quote:

Home Depot cofounder Bernie Marcus is adamant he doesn't want the "woke generation" leading business. He told Fox Business that "nobody wants to work anymore" because of "laziness" and government benefits. Home Depot has distanced itself from Marcus, noting he hasn't worked at the company in 20 years. Home Depot's 93-year-old cofounder Bernie Marcus — who retired in 2002 — says he doesn't want the "woke generation" leading business, arguing that they would spend money "we don't have" on climate mitigation and wouldn't focus on the bottom line. Speaking on Fox Business Network's "Varney & Co" on Thursday, Marcus — who no longer has any day-to-day involvement with the company — said: "I certainly don't want to see the woke generation coming up, especially the leaders." He said that he had been following the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos "and they're recommending spending more money on climate control when we don't have it. We've already overspent. And if anything, climate control has caused most of the problems we have today."

"We need leaders who are basically thinking about the shareholders and their employees," Marcus added. "And I think today it's all about woke diversity, things that don't hit the bottom line." Marcus provided little evidence for these claims. A 2020 report by consultancy giant McKinsey & Company actually found that companies who have more diverse leadership are more likely to report higher profitability. Marcus, who was a major donor to Donald Trump's 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, also spoke about the labor market, saying that people "don't want to work." "You can't hire people," he said. "Nobody wants to work anymore, especially office people." Marcus said that the reason that people didn't want to work is that "they're entitled, they're given everything," adding that government unemployment benefits were pushing people to stay at home. "So you get this laziness ... and it's basically a socialistic society," he said. Marcus also said that people wanted to work "three days a week," possibly referring to the growth in demand for flexible working during the pandemic, as well as the recent push for a four-day workweek.

Well **** you, you rich old worthless douchebag *******. You'll be dead soon and the world will go on and forget about you.
