This attitude is probably what made him a CEO in the first place.

[–] greenskye@lemmy.zip 118 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He doubled down when called out. Claimed 'anyone else would do the same' and threatened to sue anyone criticizing his actions. Zero remorse or reflection.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol you can't sue for defamation if your actions are on film 🤣

I wish he'd double over instead from being hit in the balls hard.

Continuing to prove CEOs are leeches with no morals.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 116 points 1 week ago (7 children)

The CEO wants you to know he won it fair and square

[–] Sterling@lemmy.zip 67 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Here's a contact form for his company if you'd like to give him feedback.

Thank you, submitted:

Powinieneś się wstydzić. Jakiż jesteś małym, małostkowym człowiekiem.

I hope my sentiment made it through my translator.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 week ago

Yup, as native Polish speaker i can tell you it does contain quite some disdain.

I bested a small child. Why won’t you worship me? Lol.

Thanks for that. It’s so much worse. Whether fake or not, it’s hilarious. e: it's fake, and hilarious.

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago

I won the hat because I am stronger

I mean, if thats the rule...

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 40 points 1 week ago (4 children)

With that attitude, if you kill him it's perfectly fine. You won fairly, so it's legitimate.

No fucking way, is that actually real? This guy really wrote and posted this?

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago

There's only this screenshot and a screenshot of the supposed original email in Polish floating around, so we can't really say for sure. But I will say it looks damning as all hell.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 23 points 1 week ago

So like... is he taking challengers for the hat or what?

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's always "winning" for these people against people (here a kid) that can't defend themselves. It's almost like a trait with these fucks.

And it's comically sad this has a huge draw for some statistically significant number of people.

It's why they are CEOs and it's also why they get their company's to make so much money.

Multiply the behavior of stealing things from children a million fold and that's how CEOs make money for the company. They don't get to that position by being nice and adhering to morals.

Fun fact: The guy's company produces paving stones, pretty handy to throw.

Fun fact two: Kid ultimately got another hat from the tennis player after the case got blown up and the player contacted him.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 57 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s also heavily implied the player knows the rich asshole, since the asshole funds part of the tournament. Meaning he could have gotten a signed hat at any moment but decided he wanted to steal one from a child instead. He then doubles down and laughs at the kid and everyone else calling them losers while threatening legal action against anyone who calls him out. I heard he has now contacted the player to get a hold of the kid to “make it right” so it sounds like his company is now holding his feet to the fire.

"Drogbruk" means drug use in Swedish. Company name checks out.

What an absolute cunt. What could you possibly need so badly that you rip it from the grasp of a child, when you are a CEO.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago (25 children)

Yeah look at the grin on his face, he enjoys knowing that he has it and others don’t, he enjoyed grabbing it from that kid, and he’ll smile anytime he looks at it or tells the story about how he took it. This is the mentality of the vast majority of CEOs

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Wish I was there I bet his ass until he hands back the hat. Fucker meds a beating.

You don't become a CEO by being caring and considerate.

He’s a CEO, of course he’s a vile piece of shit who would steal from a child. Throw him in a volcano

Interesting that CEO’s are idiots globally. It’s almost like you have to steal from people in order to accumulate big money.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago

The lack of morals, ethics, and shame also help.

A CEO has to do what a CEO has to do.

It is for the good of the stock owners.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

Doesn't matter, they'll delete all the 1 star reviews afterwards.

[–] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Given the current state of things, they're being more entitled assholes. They're throwing their weight around harder because the powers-that-be and techbros are throwing away what they call DEI policies, and dusting off traditional hierarchies and stereotypes for restoration.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It’s cause we won’t eat em. It’s never gonna happen either with how many poor people worship them, and how places like Reddit and Lemmy will ban you if you call for guillotines

Please mind some instances have rules against doxxing. Somehow we seem to have forgot about that one rule, and sure hope no one would use our research/factcheck community !dociekliwosc@szmer.info for such posts.

You can’t doxx a public figure who is publicly posting their contact info

Worthless prick

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What’s up with the dude handing the kid a pen right after without even looking, like they know each other and this action was expected? Is that CEO the kid’s dad or something?

Because that changes the situation a lot from “gross capitalists do anything for personal gain and must be stopped” to “dad snags hat from his kid but it doesn’t matter because they’re all going home on the same plane, probably a private one because gross capitalists do anything for personal gain and must be stopped“.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 48 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Look at the kid’s face when he takes it. He’s heartbroken, says ‘no!’ and nearly starts crying. He spends the rest of the video trying to get the player to sign his ball instead. The pass-off of the pen appeared to be because pens for signing were being passed down – it wasn’t his pen. The boy not only didn’t get the hat, but his ball wasn’t signed (which appears to have been what he was waiting for, and the hat was meant to take the place of his ball being signed).

And even if it was his son (which it doesn’t seem to be), this is still arsehole behaviour – lean in and share the moment, don’t take it from him like this.

e: and if it truly was his son, that’s even more sad, because that means dad is acting like I’d expect a rude stranger to act.
