Ever meet a CEO who thinks firing people is a personal achievement? Buckle up, because Darren Mass is here to show you how to turn job termination into a sport! This LinkedIn gem has decided to brag about firing 26 people as if he’s collecting trophies. It’s as cringeworthy as it sounds.
Meet Darren Mass, the self-proclaimed Grim Reaper of Careers. In his latest LinkedIn escapade, he boasts about firing 26 employees like he’s counting points in a game. "I fired 26 people as a CEO and I'm very proud of that," he says, maybe expecting a gold star. If meeting someone whose fun fact is "I fired 26 people" terrifies you, you’re not alone. It's like introducing yourself as the Grim Reaper of careers. 💀

Some people make teir identity all about something. For this guy its CEO. So whenever you meet this guy he's like "Hi I am a CEO". How do you fire people? How do you calculate your earnings? So he just talks about being a CEO to everyone because he's made that his identity. He views himself as a CEO, not a human man who's job is also a CEO. It's like if you were to meet a dentist and the dude can't talk about anything else other than teeth. Or a guy whos plays video games but he calls himself a "gamer" and can't talk about anything other than video games and playing video games.
You should put this on your description rather than pin. Save your pin to shame me
Hello. Love boss Hate Channel X X X X
@@ch-yq5ynThese Crybaby bosses will be whining as millions and soon billions of young people choose CHILDLESSNESS (which will become an apocalypse for their future cheap labor force). Already these slugs have all these stories in the media of "collapsing demographics" and crying why we need more cheap labor to be born.
Yet these same bosses cry about collapse in population growth...smh
It's never the bosses fault. It's always the employees fault, even when the boss is at fault.
If a company has made poor financial or directional decisions and requires to fire people then the CEO who made those decisions should go with them.
That's how it works
@@ch-yq5yn GE was famous for that, they would fire entire departments for messing up projects
@@zachroberts1988 It's even worse than that, it's not a company per se, when a company is as big as for it to be a multinational it's heaven here, hell on another department, that means that the top dog in each department is either highly skilled and he can manage the mess, or an asshat that he just can navigate through KPIs so he wont be fired himself, most of them are the second case. too much money leads to lazy management. Management is not easy, if he think it is, you're in for a bad bad CV bump.
Agreed. Yet there are still these trolls and company brown nosers who still try to only blame employees. Disgraceful.
For being a CEO of a company that builds brands, making a post like that tells me he knows nothing about building brands.
Or companies.
Or management.
Or running a business.
Or having to work for a living.
Another scammer tech/finance bro.
Nah, his brand is Being an Asshole (TM)
Unless the brand is losing good employees.
How do you hire 26 people and then fire them? That’s on you bro
This guy is not a bro.
@@qcbelzebuth7083 he's not our bro, guy.
@@qcbelzebuth7083he's a total bro, trust me, bro
It's quite simple, you just hire people specifically to fire them
He probably fired them all in a week for fun
@@qcbelzebuth7083 definitely a bro lmfao almost nothing worse than an entire population calling each other "brother" without actually meaning it.
We need a law - when mass layoffs occur, management must step down also. It was their incompetence that caused it first.
"B-but, muh free marketz"
That's a tough law to make, let alone get passed. FIRSTLY; in oil, gas, construction, and so on and so forth, mass layoffs are normal. Plants (Fertilizer, oil, etc.) regularly shut down and a whole bunch of people are hired to work on it for 3-6 months. Then the "Shutdown" ends, and mass layoffs occur. Every year, and especially in the North where the snow flies a little harder.
Mass layoffs usually happen not because of necessity, but because they are liked by shareholders.
No, management must step down period - they alone should be the layoff, and get the same half-ass (or no-ass) severance package they would have given the lowest worker.
At least they're not hiding it anymore
yea, and no fake tears
Stop with this 'anymore' bs...nothing has changed. They never hid it.
I looked at his LinkedIn feed after this and it’s exactly what one would expect. Very much a C-tier LinkedIn posting glamour photos of himself with superficial inspirational taglines
Did you catch this line of his paltry post on LinkedIn 2hrs ago.?“ I wrote the post for LinkedIn lunatics to see what would land me there. And I even included a Guns N Roses line. As it was being misinterpreted, I took it down” 🤔'd say that's copyright infringement.
Most CEOs have not been in a fight
He has fired the right one yet, because with a mouth, attitude, and ego like that...😬👊🏿
We need to change this
No wonder why job security don't exist anymore when a psychopath have the super power to fired you with one click.
He probably compalins on LinkedIn when people resign. "I treated this person so well! No one wants to work anymore!"
@Seattle-2017 Not only that he's probably making the big salary while giving bad salary to employees. These kind of CEO have psychopathic trait where they seek short-term benifit at the detriment of long-term relationships so thats why they fired employees like trash.
Darren Mass is a psychopath.
That's exactly what he comes off as
That's a mandatory trait to be CEO
but not a smart one. You´d think it would be super easy to discern you have to lie and pretend you care so people don´t detect your psycopathy.
Thank God they´re this stupid, helps the rest of us to avoid at all costs
Sociopath. He knows right from wrong; just doesn't think it applies to him. But, yeah, I basically agree with you. Having worked for a sociopath (once in my over 25 year career), getting away from them as fast as you can is essential!
@@cpK054Lno, it isn't. Unless you don't really have anything proper to sell, then it is.
If you're filling your staff with people who aren't performing... that's on you as CEO, not the staff
Keep up the good work. These people need to be exposed.
Its not going to help any of you to 'expose' or 'call out' people online. Start your own business, hire people..don't blame guys who tried and then had to backtrack, lied or failed or whatever..at leas they did it.
@@stoneneils hmmm - sounds like you're speaking from personal experience.
@@stoneneilsNo one has to own a business to know that bragging about firing people is a sign that you are a terrible person.
@@LisaSimplifiedIt sounds like he doesn't just lick the boot; he eats it, craps it out and eats it again.
@@jackcarraway4707 Try to be kind with those who haven't come online yet. We are all waking up in our own time and through our own experience. I admit I drank the Koolaid for many (many) years.
Back in my day firing someone took at least a brief in-person conversation.
Nice to see members of the lost generation still vibing on the internet,
They typically have to have a witness or a camera, otherwise they get an angry ex employee using them as a punching bag.
@@pllpsy665 Which generation is that?
@@pllpsy665 Not everyone over 30 is a member of the lost generation or a BOOMER.
In fact, nobody under 30 today has done anything of merit and that age group and
under is likely the end of civilization.
@@BasementBerean People born in the late 1800's. He's being a bratty lil Gen F'er.
F, as in futureless.
All of these CEO's were born into their roles and have NEVER built anything in their lives.
Also, I've noticed every company that has a revolving door almost never offers a truly
valuable product or service.
But he CrEaTeS BrAnDs or whatever.
@@vadim6385 Probably brands women too lol
I've worked for a couple "revolving door" companies that did provide a good service. They just treated their people like shit, and in order to put out a good set of drawings on ridiculous deadlines, worked them to the point where there was no option but to quit.
@@Seattle-2017I also did, but providing a good service in them is much more grueling than in a more stable company.

Good managers are respected by their peers, bad managers are feared by their peers.
The majority of managers are unable to comprehend that
Bad employes works by fear though
@@JonathanVachon777how is this possible?
@@Anonyme67 is that a serious question?
Embarrassingly tone-deaf and unaware.🥴Having an emotionally immature CEO who suffers from "Main Character Syndrome" in middle age must be SO exhausting & cringe for an employee.🥴
"A great boss doesn't fire people. A great boss hires people and inspires people." - Michael Scott
This CEO is the type of guy who thinks The Office is the perfect blueprint to run a company.
Vince McMahon is his hero.
Oh, oh. I'm going to have to ask you to come in on Sunday too.
Made me think of Spacely Sprockets.
The office would probably be better than his office
@@rg10293 At least Michael Scott is a well-meaning idiot.
He thinks he’s way smarter than he actually is.
This guy has 2 pictures of himself in 1998 on his Linkedin . One of them he looks like he's 16-17. The other one he looks like he's 13. I'll just let that sink in.
I’m tired of this kind of narcissism.
Why don’t CEOs realize they’re employees too?
Unless they also happen to own the company, they’re subject to scrutiny as well… they have office hours, goals that are set for them by someone else, and have to follow many other rules… and, of course, they’re at risk of being fired at any time.
Where exactly does this narcissism come from? 🤷♂️
It's all about benefit. They think that everything and everyone should be treated as a business and having the opportunity to exploit you and make more money on your head. It's all about benefits.
Very stupid, arrogant, and out of touch of these CEOs. They’re too dumb to realize it works both ways, employees can just refuse to work for them. Customers and investors can take their money elsewhere. The shareholders, and the board of directors can get rid of CEOs. If any CEO keeps pulling this sort of BS, and eventually it will come back on them in these sort of ways.
Bold of you to assume the board of directors, shareholders (and some investors) aren't psychopaths themselves...
@@smpiano6605 I never said that they weren’t. They would turn on the CEO like a wolf pack (or any one of each other) when things go wrong.
Why i don't give my employeers 2 week notice
That and why I don’t ever go beyond the bare minimum of my job.
@@princessmarlena1359if only my career has minimums....
@@princessmarlena1359 If it ain't in the contract, it ain't being done.
You become difficult if you don't go far and beyond but some companies can't afford to fire you. The nerve that they expect an effort of higher income while paying the bare minimum.
Yup. No company will ever give you two week's notice before giving you the boot! Why should employees be held to that standard?
What a world class PoS.. I sincerely hope he gets humbled and finds himself under the wheels eventually.
Sounds like every major corporation right now
Enjoying your videos, keep them coming!
lol 30 likes for sports bras!!! bahahaha
Don’t forget to tip your CEO for making the hard decisions after he fires you
I love me some 6 minute videos with a 4-minute ad 👍
Clearly looks like the CEO is a sociopath
I once worked for a guy like that, 30 years later he was found indigent, in a flophouse motel in Florida.
"growing your business" ... "firing 26 people"... Soooo... shrinking. Got it.
He probably got to fondle himself with his free hand while he clicked away with his mouse because... POWER
He’s going to laugh at the WRONG fired employee one day, then it might be lights out 💀
Finally a non-AI-generated thumbnail
Are you sure? It's questionable if the CEO is human.
I assure you from what I've seen toxic narcissism is rampant in the corporate world.
Shoah... I'm pretty sure the rest of his employees (if there were any left) started updating their resumes ASAP after hearing this 'achievement'.
Another great video, Joshua!!
Great content ! Keep it up 👍
Thank you for the video. I appreciate your voice and that you speak out.
Was this ceo picked on and now he feels insignificant and has to show people he is something important?
He got picked on in high school and never grew up.
Definitely gives off the nerd who became a bully vibes. Had to work with and even for people such as this, one of them had it out for me just because I resembled a red haired girl who picked on her in school.
"You think maybe he's compensating for something? Hehe" -Shrek
@@jackcarraway4707 quite a predictable comment
@@jeremy6384 Not really. That's a relativity thing.
My company can't fire me that quickly. 6 months notice period. Can also be a disadvantage for me if I want to quit...
I jump ships alot so that's a disadvantage for me lol
Why such a long term? Is it a contract position?
Have you ever been fired? What’s your best firing story? Let’s commiserate together!
I was hired as a specialist, and the only one in my team that has an engineering degree to actually hold an engineer in my title. The rest were women, 2 from India, 1 from Mexico. These three in particular spoke with accents and very blatant that English was NOT their native language.
I was hired to improve their process and bring them closer to compliance.
But for SOME ODD REASON, they thought they knew better than someone who actually worked in regulated environments that they would cat scratch my work, delete stuff, have meetings and decisions behind my back when I have actually turned products into the market is beyond me.
So... I decided to just wreck shop and run up my time card (was salaried btw) and decided the effort wasn't worth it, so I just pretended to work and they eventually installed a Spyware on my computer and monitored me just going to the park with my kid.
Eventually they terminated me, just because I didn't know how to say, I quit. 😂😂😂😂
As an added bonus, I was disqualified from unemployment (not that I care) and that company is literally thirsting off blackrock/Vanguard. The Mexican just bought a 100+ year old house at a premium (which is extremely stupid) and the other Indian was priced out of her rental.
I am rated 100% VA, so getting fired doesn't bother me more than it will them 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not mine, but a story my older brother heard from an old roughneck who worked in the oil fields. I’ll call this guy “Curly”.
Now, Curly accidentally dropped his sledgehammer down the oil well. Someone had left off the cap, and he nearly fell in himself. The oil company had to use a “bulldog spear” to fish around in the well to find that lost sledgehammer, because they couldn’t do any more drilling until it was recovered.
The company was at it for nearly a week, the foreman was furious as it was costing the company a fortune to find that hammer. If they didn’t get it out by the end of the fifth day, they would have to cap the well and call it a loss. By the middle of the fifth day, they successfully got the hammer with the bulldog spear.
As they took the hammer out and Curly received it, the foreman said “Okay everyone, back to work. You, with the hammer! You’re FIRED!”. Curly merely replied “Oh really? Well, I guess I won’t be needing THIS!” and he tossed the hammer _back into the well!_
TL/DR: A roughneck dropped his hammer by accident into an oil well, company couldn’t drill in the well until hammer was found. It took the company five days to find it while losing money in doing so. Hammer found, roughneck fired by foreman, so roughneck tossed hammer back into the well.
I only got fired for metoo violations in the last couple of years of my career..its why i quit. Before metoo all my gf's came from work as customer or co-workers or clients. What's the point going into an office to be a eunich.
I was fired from my Tier 1 IT Tech Support job back in October 2023 where I worked at a CPA firm for 1.5 years that has 1,100+ employees in 12 U.S. States and 3 international locations (Juarez, Mexico, Peru, & India). I went through a 4 round interview process to get hired (Round 1: Spoke to a System Admin, Round 2: Spoke to the Help Desk Manager, Round 3: Spoke with the Director of IT, Round 4: Spoke with the technology partner). It turns out I was the only one on the Tier 1 team that had a Bachelor's of Science in IT degree. Before I was terminated, I received a phone call from the technology partner back in August 2023 for what I thought would be a straight up phone call to follow up on a Checkpoint Tools software license for an Insurance employee (the insurance employee worked at an entity company that the CPA company bought out years prior and we didn't have reserved software licenses for the insurance company) but instead of getting straight to the inquiry...the technology partner asked me what I thought about having a new co-worker (who was a "friend" of the technology partner that was getting ready to get his Bachelor's of Science degree) come to the office I was working at to help train and work with. I at first stated to the tech partner that it was not a decision I could make because I'm not authorized to hiring anybody but when I got to thinking about it on the phone call I said to the tech partner...on second thought, why not send your friend to one of the other 3 parent offices in the state that actually need an onsite tech.
I left that phone call back in August 2023 weirded out with red flags and alarm bells going off in my head on the facts:
1. There were no parent offices that had more than one Tier 1 IT Tech Support employees. All of the parent offices had only one Tier 1 IT Tech Support employee and one Tier 2 System Administrator employee assigned.
2. Sounds like the tech partner is telling me this because he's going to fire me soon and replace me with his friend...maybe days, weeks, or within a few months from now.
We come back to October 2023, I came into the office around 10:00 am because it was my turn to perform extended support duties on a Friday to help wrap up the mini corporate tax season that happens in the fall and I was looking forward to the weekend because I was also going to get another opportunity at overtime pay. I wound up getting a conference call around 1:00pm with the technology partner and Director of IT on the call...the technology partner asked if I was alone at the moment and then informed me that Friday was going to be my last day with the company and that the decision was a "company decision" based on their reason that I was not a "company fit." I told the technology partner off "You can't fire me, I QUIT" and hung up the phone to start packing up.
A week later, I received a severance package that didn't have my final pay and the 110 hours of unused vacation time on the package so I called the technology partner to ask about it. He calls me back a few days later and informs me he will check with HR about it...while on this call the technology partner tells me that the reason I had to be let go was because a "partner had made a complaint against me" but the technology partner didn't tell me what I said or did.
I knew the technology partner was lying and some things were not adding up because of the fact that you cannot simply tell someone who has been with a company for a 1.5 years that you are not company fit and secondly, if I did do something wrong...why not produce the "receipts" and hard-evidence (phone recording, dialog script, etc.) before me so I can make up for it instead of strapping me to a rocket to send me out.
I can never work for somebody else again because how can I trust somebody else who will give me another chance and opportunity to build me up again just to have that someone else say "We don't need you anymore, I've hired a friend of mine to work here instead of you...good luck with your future."
I believe every manager and executive should have the label "backstabber" and "betrayal" next to their titles because it seems like everybody at the top only cares about getting the biggest bonus checks at the end of the year and does not care about what happens to the people beneath them that are considered the real backbone support of a company.
Sup Josh, was just "let go" a week ago, from what i thought was a dream job, learned maneagment had a figurative "kick me" sign on me the entire 4 years i was there.
Loving your content!! It's refreshing!!
Anyway,
I learned I was the "bad apple" , was gaslit most of the time.... But i hung on ... Countered the NARCISSISM AS BEST I COULD.... in the end the powers above me just "with the click of a finger" i was a victim of NEPOTISM.
They used excuse after excuse to get rid of me ... And hire a family member with no experience in the industry....
Its exactly like you say: humilating to both me and MY FAMILY.
Thank you josh
This clown has since deleted his post. Presumably due to the backlash
If I were that CEO, I’d be very worried about the possible far reaching and negative repercussions of boasting on social media about how I treat my employees, especially the ones I bragged about firing. It’s not a good look for the CEO, the company he runs, or for employee morale.
And he builds brands for a living!
Letting people go is difficult, however bragging about it online is unacceptable!
Thank you for continuing to tell the truth, Joshua. This guy is a real tool!
Sociopaths being sociopath. Nothing special here, it's always the same.
You don't get more employees with that attitude
Preach it, brother Josh. Preach it.
He's a psychopath and didn't know it...otherwise, how in the world could he think that is appropriate to post...anywhere? Multiple choice quiz for him a) Think it, don't say it b) if it happened to me would I be angry? c) compliment people and build them up to hide your true self d) all of the above
Oh he knows dude, he just needs to brag some shit to feel right. Disgusting behavior
In other news CEO got shot, but all cameras were out of order and no one saw anything.
thats crazy!!!!!
What I love is how many people still sell their souls to these types of people, gotta love it
Business majors are taught to view employees as resources and investments that could potentially benefit the business. Not as human beings.
That’s why Henry Ford refused to hire business majors.
If you fired 26 people, that means you screwed up with 26 recruiting pipelines, you completely missed your company's budget and/or planned it poorly, and your business is not where it needs to be. If you fire 26 people, you really ought to just round it up to 27 if you truly care about making that company prosperous.
Wonderful analysis, you really called out this schmuck with grace and style.
Narcissist is right. The guy's LinkedIn posts just scream it. The guy is probably miserable inside which is why he puts on this attention-seeking mask.
The guy even has a post about the "stress" caused by a "difficult" decision that took a long time. The decision? To take the kids iPads away. Firing people is a joke, but taking iPads away from his own kids was gut-wrenching. (I'm a parent of three young kids who are exposed to tech, my wife and I have no problems limiting or taking screen time of any kind away from them when needed)
Josh for president! 🎉
He deleted it
That guy gave me Serial Killer vibs... can we get the cops to check his basement? Also, I hate the firing mentality because it makes sense; 26 people, $50k/yr each. He saved himself $1.3mil.
It it neither a credit nor a loss for firing employees but it is your duty to protect the most loyal in your organization. That’s how I deal with it
Seems he removed his post.
💯
And this is why corporate simping gets you nowhere. Thanks for exposing the dark side of the working world Joshua.
I don't remember the name of this study, but psychologists had done extensive research on sociopathy and listed 10 professions that attracted a high number of sociopaths. The role of CEO was in that list. While not all CEOs are sociopaths, I can see how sociopaths would aspire to be CEOs (or a position within the C-suite) due to the power and prestige.
I think he deleted his post. Damn I wanted to see the comments on there. Glad you caught it soon enough to be able to make a video about it though.
Oh yeah, de definately did.
Wow whata kind 😇 ceo😮😂
Damn that was a long ad
Like I always mentioned to punk ass coworkers - We're only here 8 hours, and I know where you get gas after work when we're off the clock.
He took down his post I was going to comment on it
What is sad is that this CEO is like 89 percent of most ceos.
Epic !
Thanks for calling him out on his appalling behavior.
I had a manager that tried to do that (tried getting rid of people who had second jobs despite their professionalism), but it ended up backfiring horribly on and ended up them being the one getting the ax.
Add the company name to your list of "never apply here"
Not sure how viable this is for a video topic, but would you be able to do one about people who try so hard to be good at their jobs to the point of blaming themselves for ineptitude rather than the company for putting too much on their shoulders? I've had many coworkers like this who just try so hard to be the best at their job because they drank the cool aid, despite a.) being visibly frustrated to the point of mental breakdown, and b.) almost constantly doing tasks outside their actual job descriptions that should be handled by upper management.
I have a worse situation, in 2019 i had a manager who tried to fire me for any petty reason just because i discovered her dirty secrets and reported her. I had to survive 2 months with the worse late shift having people check my calls like cells under a microscope and had to leave and she did not even get punished.
You report only to federals it it applies not to hr cancer and only if you already have a new landing prepared.
Anybody can be a CEO. LLC kits are available for cheap. Firing tip: Make sure the severance payment is enough to justify the employee agreeing not to sue.
Reminds me of that book by Dale Carnegie, where he said that if you want to make people work harder without giving them raises, just give them fancy sounding titles.
Not even shocked someone with that mentality is in a leadership position. In my experience most bosses are like this.
Cyberopolis ability to innovate and execute on its vision makes it a standout project. This is just the beginning of a long success story.
Josh love ya videos bro but im listening on headphones and you have lots of negative noise in the background just to let you know!
We'll make you famous!
Somebody never got over being bullied in school
He *was* the bully
Maybe you can do standup at a soup kitchen... :D
Did this CEO photo shop his jawline to try to look like the GigaChad meme? Kinda what it looks like in that pic when he's asking for tips on firing.
What's even a kicker is Darren admitted to using copyrighted lyrics in his post without giving due credit to the artists. That band is Guns N Roses. He believes because he “took the post down” it just disappears into the ether never to be seen again. Well internet, do your thing and humble Darren Mass. Oddly, all 15 reviews of Darren company are all 5 stars…
You 2 real for the net 👍 the reality 😆😂😆
"Right fit for the role" is the responsibility of the hiring manager/team.
looks like he has advertised himself as ceo of some community service center..nothing hype.. mayb he fired himself.. n it looks like he removed his post about bragging
We need to learn from the French.
"The rich yearn for the guillotines."
Maybe these companies would engender better loyalty if the people running them didn't act like they were re-acting the plot of Cruelty Squad.
everybody has to pose for the picture as they are firing lol.What a sick individual
And I'm here trying to get a good job for my lifestyle with huge gap, even thinking of settling for anything by this point of time, yet the thought of working with such people in unbearable
Remote would be unbearable. In the office suffering with everyone laghing at the boss..its always fun. This is the key gen-z is missing out. No job will be enjoyable remote..I retired as senior developer..two days remote as the most i could handle withoout becoming miserable. Its just boring...you and the boss..nobody cute to talk to or look at...no practical jokes..no free food or crazy clients raging on speakerphone...office work is so fun HOWEVER you gotta be fun people.
wow
i think firing should be illegal, once we are here we shouldnt be able to be fired
Not a very money wise CEO. Spends thousands of dollars to advertise, scout, recruit, interview, place, then train new hires just to fire them.
I'm sure the tax payer picking up the unemployment bill is punching the air each time he fires someone and saying *GOOD JOB CHAMP! YOU GO CHAMP!*
The one time I had to let someone go was because I couldn't afford it. That was because of the raised rates of car insurance which ate my entire advertising budget and pay for my designer. Luckily he is a freelancer and not an official employee so he can still make money working for other people. He'd always ask about work. There is absolutely no logic in firing people to make more money. Especially if it's a winning team. You think The Bulls or Lakers would've been NBA champions if they all just got fired? Would Phil Jackson be able to win all by himself? No. Would Dana White be able to run UFC without the people he is now in business with years later? No.
This is a long term vision.
High menagement have only end of quarter their personal bonus vision and dont give af.
Lower management has only next 1-3 days vision and do not give af.
No accountability.
People get away with it because there is no system of accountability of any kind in any way. Now imagine if there was...
As a CEO, having to fire people means you failed at your job and ought to probably step down!
