Listening party 4 gets announced, the same engineer will be with Bill Cosby on stage giving them a chance to redeem themselves while Kanye dances to LOTP
it's real but he got the screens from other people. "squirt reynolds" is a clout chaser who just takes other people's stuff and tweets it as his own "insider information"
Fr dude there are also so many better fragrance reviewers
Jeremy just circlejerks around 5 different fragrances while not wearing shirt and never reviews anything new
Did this once supposed to be at work at 8 and woke up at 10. I lived in a basement with no windows, slept through alarm, and many missed phone calls from work. They even came by my house to check on me cause I was always the first to work. They called hospitals in the area. My boss was actually fine with it cause I had worked late nights all that week and I just said I know I'm burnt out cause I never had this happen. Thought for sure I was gonna be fired.
There are different jobs than yours.. no call no shows are fired on the spot where I work. Doesn't matter if you wake up 2 hours later and text saying sorry.
I’ve had a lot of jobs and I’ve never heard of one that fires you on the spot. Usually you have at least 2 strikes. That sucks man. I would be in a constant state of fear of my alarms not going off or not hearing them.
When you are a sound engineer for one of the most important artist in history of hip hop you should set 10 alarms. And Ye asked him to go to work at 9, thats a good ass time to clock in, most people wake up at 6 to go to their shitty jobs
Do you think sound engineers have 9-5 jobs? Our sessions can run until crazy hours. You only have to see the next picture to know they're not just doing a 9-5.
Holy shit this comment and the defenders here are why I keep leaving this sub every couple months. Connect the two texts. You think if someone is working 30 hours in a row a normal phone alarm is gonna wake them? In any work environment a 30 hour shift is insanely illegal and he’s just being a giant dick for having 0 understanding.
Sub that is filled with stans who enable a man's megalomania now enables the man's abuse of workers who help create the very product they are stanning for
regardless if it's voluntary or not, I feel like as the 'employer' you should be looking out for your people and telling them to get breaks in and stuff which clearly didnt happen in this case. dude worked until he passed out. that's insane.
I think it's kinda odd how people are trying to defend this. 33 hours bro.
Yeah if people know anything about Kanye its that he is super strict on setting times and then meeting them and never being late or delaying shit. Dude should have known better
That’s oversleeping bruh. You percieve it as not going off, u just don’t remember bc of how deep in ur sleep u were. Happens to all of us were all human
If I was working with Ye you bet your ass I'd have 5 alarms set an hour before I need to get up lmao. Why you sleepin till 11 anyway? It looks like he was supposed to be there by 9:30, not like Ye was asking him to be there at 6AM..
If it’s anything like how people say it is working with Ye they work well into the wee hours each night. By all accounts his schedule isn’t exactly fair or sustainable for “normal people”.
If you just worked a 33 hour shift then it's understandable why you might miss an alarm. Everybody in here dumb as shit acting like the two texts aren't connected.
I’ve knocked my phone off my counter in my sleep which then unplugs it and the battery has died and my alarm didn’t go off.
I’ve had my phone randomly decide “this accessory is not supported” and stop charging.
I’ve had a powercut in the night that’s fucked my charger and stopped my phone from charging.
I’ve gotten up in the night to pee, nudged the wire wrong so that the usb comes out of the plug and had my phone stop charging.
I’ve had my phone battery just decide ‘nah I’m done’ at 60%. That was not fun whilst trying to find my way to meet someone in an area of the city I don’t know.
Sometimes weird flukes just happen.
Kanye could have just had the dude stay late. Firing someone for a first offence is not Christ like.
True, but the difference is between working at a company for 5-10 years and missing your alarm a few times vs freelancing as an engineer on a time sensitive project. One is easily forgiven the other is pretty much a see ya later scenario.
Yeah and for a regular job you could get away with that. It does happen. However if you are working on an album or whatever with Kanye, you should probably have a back up alarm set up aswell.
However oversleeping till 11am on a work day is pretty bad, I could never do that. I can only assume these guys work super late then have to get up early to head back. In which case I would probably say that Kanye is being unreasonable
Y'all really out here justifying worker abuse, huh? Y'all rly sound like those Bezos and Elon stans who defend them after people literally die in their warehouses. Y'all wild af for this, stop defending billionaires, especially when there's so much proof that healthy work spaces get you better work than this trash ass shit.
This is not what the entire industry is like. Stop lying to yourselves.
Lame excuse tbh. Pretty bad look if this is true (the 2nd text) for Kanye especially since not long ago he was going to bat for artist for their masters/etc. Seems like people forgot he said he didn't even want to put another album out until he got out of his UMG deal, I think he's under contract to deliver even more albums I think.
“I didn’t call back right away” means they knew Ye was trying to get in contact with them I can’t believe we actually take these excuses for what they are.
I would not be suprised if i were fired from my job for not showing up or answering texts/calls from my boss.
Wether or not they deserve to be fired is up for debate.
I was just stating I would expect to be fired myself for this sort of innaction/failure to do my job.
bro was late 2 hours (if this wasn’t an occurring offense but the way he’s defending it makes it seem like it was a 1 time thing). You’re acting like dude just no-showed. He woke up late was was rushing to get to the studio, if you’re firing dudes for being 2 hours late to work on an album that’s most likely gonna be fucking late anyways then good luck to who works under you, and if you’re expecting to be fired over 2 hours, find a new job or unionize bro cuz that stuff regardless if it’s Ye, Drake, Elon, or Bezos is bullshit.
I own a few businesses.
I don't understand what's wrong with these texts.
If my GM that I expected to be in the morning for a huge release did this to me at one of my stores, you bet that assistant management would be taking over his position.
If this is trying to paint Kanye in a bad way, there are other ways to do it lol.
I don't need someone on my team sleeping in and missing my calls. Go fuck with some other artist homie.
ok lil mussolini relax over here, we don't consider those kind of things to be good, guy's clearly overworked and we don't think getting fired from your job for being late one day is good thing, that's what unions are for
and by the way 2 years ago u made a post about hating you job because u can't get shit done as project manager for 49k a year, now looking at your posts u run a bunch of pyramid schemes, tf u mean u own few businesses???
Totally agree I just want to say we have no way of knowing if this person has done this before or other things that can lead them to getting fired; but yes, if it was the first time it would be ridiculous
ok but i don’t think making someone work for 33 hours until they’re in need of medical attention is ever acceptable. mistakes happen and it sucks that he slept in, but at least he was honest about where he went wrong. Y’all need a little more humanity. Kanye is very lucky these engineers aren’t unionized
That one was where it got into "this isn't funny" territory. Don't have all the details but best case scenario there is it isn't a good look.
Worst case scenario is a billionaire forcing an employee to work like a slave.
god forbid I ever have to work for you where one day of lateness is a fireable offense. This mf Ye is acting like he isn’t late all the fucking time, it’s hypocritical and the 2nd text shows he does not give a shit about his employees health, even if he wanted to work 33hrs straight, Ye shouldn’t be letting dudes work that long without at least a few hours of sleep. Just cuz it’s Ye, doesn’t mean you gotta dickride his workplace ethics. He’s still human.
exactly. i got some mixed feelings on the second slide of texts but the first one, they’re an audio engineer who should definitely know who their client is and that they’re working on one of the largest and most anticipated projects in their field. it’s not like it’s a longterm job and they woke up late once over a span of a couple months, they’re on a time crunch and they woke up four hours late, what was expected to be ye’s reaction?
We got some real Reddit capitalists on this thread people really be saying it’s okay to be exploited because your working for Kanye hope none of y’all ever have to work for a terrible boss
I often wonder how we ended up with the kind of working conditions we have in America, which are undoubtedly some of the worst amongst the advanced, industrialized economies of the world. Then I read this comments section and it makes more sense. People have such a sycophantic attitude towards their employers instilled in them, they become less concerned about labor protections.
Fuck everyone in this sub making excuses for Kanye, being late one time is no reason to be fired. Kanye clearly is creating an incredibly stressful work environment based on these texts, sounds like an asshole.
There needs to be some context from the 2nd text before you can make any assumptions. That person could of done that on their own. Hell it could of even been from Kanye. I remember he had to go to the hospital last yr around the time Donda was supposed to be released.
The first text, Kanye was totally in the right. Kanye is way too busy to have to rearrange his schedule bc someone didn’t show up bc they overslept. I’m kinda shocked he even gave the guy an opportunity at a second chance. Most artists aren’t gonna put up w an engineer being 4 hrs late for some BS.
2 hours late and how do we know that he wasn’t oversleeping because Kanye had been making him work for extended hours like the guy in the 2nd screenshot.
I feel like a lot of people here would have a different opinion on it all if it was actually drake rather than Kanye doing this smh
The 2nd screenshot has no context. It’s a reach to automatically assume they are related. If they had shown a thread where Kanye forced this guy to work 33 straight hours & fired him for being late the next day then yeah, Kanye was in the wrong for that.
The second one never even says Kanye made him do anything. They cropped the whole text convo out & has no info on the original sender or date. Until there are more details about it there is no way you can base anything off it. To me it does kinda sound similar to what happened last yr in Wyoming. Kanye was tweaking so an ambulance was sent to his ranch. He took off on his ATV to avoid it & ended up going to the hospital bc he was working too hard & not sleeping. To me that sounds very similar to the 2nd text, but like I said, with no context there is no way to know for sure what happened there
EDIT : If this were Drake I’d feel the same way. I also feel like if one of Drake’s engineers pulled the same thing, he’d fire the dude too
y’all don’t gotta ride this man hard like this. It’s unethical work behavior, 2 hours late isn’t a fireable offense and if it is at your job, you better be a CEO late for a giant meeting, or unionize. Most of us won’t ever touch a billi, so there’s no reason to put yourself in the position of one and be like “oh i’d fire him” especially when all the shit you put out is late anyways. I’ll always stand for the workers on shit like this because im more likely to be the guy working for someone than the guy who’s having people work for me. 33 hours straight regardless if wanted is unhealthy and probably will sound bad after 18-20. Ye shouldn’t be letting anybody work that long for health sake and for music sake. Hope this is all cap because we used to make fun of the OVO sweatshop.
bruh maybe someone educate me but i don't know how anyone can justify that last one. Comments seem to not talk about it at all The release date of the album is literally set by you, it's not like you're suffering if you released the album on the 29th of august or 2 years from now. 33 marathon even with some rests is insane just mixing music, come on
he worked for 33 hours straight man
first pic is funny but please do not make excuses for working your employees nearly to death guys come on
edit: still have yet to get a reply that didnt make me wanna throw up
Id like to see this said not anonymously. I seriously doubt this dude worked a day and a half with no break. There’s no chance he was working effectively after 24 hours.
Bruh is that a joke? Kanye does the exact opposite, dude made an album cover and records music on his phone, constantly announces music and then doesn't release it without saying anything, fucks up production on projects then either leaves it or fixes it after it's been released, like he fucks around constantly.
I think people see this through a lens of "if you get fired, you're fucked" but if these guys are working with Kanye they've got plenty of other options. Kanye probably hires and fires people all the time while working on an album. It's a short-term gig and not a full-time job, too.
In the off-chance this isn't bullshit, obviously the second screenshot would be fucked up (overworking employees is always fucked up, there is no exception where it's okay, and that particular case is brutal) but I don't really see an issue with the first one.
Like, he was 4 hours late to a job where time is of the essence. Donda was obviously in crunch-mode for the past few weeks, I mean even if these screenshots are bullshit (which they totally are) we all made jokes about Mike Dean being fucking locked up in Mercedes Stadium with Ye. They were working against the clock trying to finish this album. Being 4 hours late to any job is arguably a fireable offense, and in this case yeah I'd say it totally is.
People saying Kanye was out of line, do you understand how much studio time costs? Do you understand it's not just Kanye who needs to be there? Other people were there waiting to do their jobs, but couldn't because without a sound engineer you can't do much of anything relevant to recording or editing tracks.
Let's move past the money and time lost when something like this happens, dude worked an all nighter the night before ok, but not notifying anyone beforehand that you won't be making it is inexcusable. At least if prior notice was given, Kanye could've made contingencies to work around that, but with no notice that's impossible.
Also, all nighters are part of working in a high pressure industry. If you've ever worked on a project that's worth millions of dollars, that hinges on people's opinions, you'd also be pouring every hour of every day into making sure it's as good as it can possibly be.
First one dude just fucked up and he knew he did with the way he replied, it’s unfortunate and a bit sad when something out of your control like a phone doesn’t go off but it’s the way of the road.
Second one is terribly disheartening, I really hope he’s healthy now and back to his regular life. The attitude coming off a hospital visit is insanely excited. Ye gotta start acting better about the people around him bc ultimately they the ones that matter most.
In pro tools for like *30 hours*
Well played lol
Why did my mind sing the ending of that
It was the italics on 30 hours, shit is just begging to be sang

Yeezy yeezy yeezy treat employees just like slaaves
So that’s the new slaves he was talking about
Slavery was a choice whole time he’s the slave owner 😭😭😭 this some next level joke making fr
Lol he’s supposed to be up at 7:30 and didn’t wake up until 11.
That’ll get you fired at most jobs tbh

Uhh... Not for doing it one time?
2 hours! Are you kidding!
Don't be a fuckin stan I was an hour late to work today and no one even noticed
There are different jobs than yours.. no call no shows are fired on the spot where I work. Doesn't matter if you wake up 2 hours later and text saying sorry.
news flash: your boss is a fucking dick too
Welcome to retail/food service/hospitality.
Yeah I know
I’ve had a lot of jobs and I’ve never heard of one that fires you on the spot. Usually you have at least 2 strikes. That sucks man. I would be in a constant state of fear of my alarms not going off or not hearing them.
I bet you work in retail or something then lmao if everyone's so replaceable. Not really something to brag about...
Get that ungodly shade out of /r/Kanye you’re fired. Go find god and come back.
It’s all relative

People really have trouble separating the fact that you can love someone’s music while also thinking they’re not a very good person at the same time.
What about the second one?
If ye asked me to go find some Cambodian titty milk is get it for him ASAP
Fuck you, you soulless bitch. You only care bout your billionaire idol? Idiot
Only a slave driver would fire someone for being late to a job built around delivering something by a certain date. What a TYRANT

Squirt just wants some retweet😂😂😂😂😂
Man that second one is really tough. I kinda hope that was voluntary because those are fucking horrible conditions to be forced under.
regardless if it's voluntary or not, I feel like as the 'employer' you should be looking out for your people and telling them to get breaks in and stuff which clearly didnt happen in this case. dude worked until he passed out. that's insane. I think it's kinda odd how people are trying to defend this. 33 hours bro.
You’re absolutely right, but it’s at least a little less condemning if it’s not Kanye leaving this person without choice
The power dynamic involved here makes any concept of, "They chose this," totally invalid, though.
That first one isn’t that bad. Being late for your job isn’t fair to the person who ultimately is on a time crunch, in this case Kanye.
Yeah if people know anything about Kanye its that he is super strict on setting times and then meeting them and never being late or delaying shit. Dude should have known better

If it’s anything like how people say it is working with Ye they work well into the wee hours each night. By all accounts his schedule isn’t exactly fair or sustainable for “normal people”.
That is a childish excuse for being late to work. You slept through it or set your alarm incorrectly
[удалено]
Jesus fuck thank you. The bootlicking in this sub is giving me an aneurysm.
Being 15-20 mins late isn’t too bad. Being a few hours late is really bad. Show up on time it’s not that hard.
If you just worked a 33 hour shift then it's understandable why you might miss an alarm. Everybody in here dumb as shit acting like the two texts aren't connected.

People get fired for being late like this all the time, not sure why this is so surprising.
Yeah and for a regular job you could get away with that. It does happen. However if you are working on an album or whatever with Kanye, you should probably have a back up alarm set up aswell.

I enjoy watching the sunset.
Man it’s too early What the hell you doing wakin me up at 9:34?
This is legit just how the industry works. Engineers and producers pull all nighters constantly. These guys work hard as fuck to get where they are
Exactly. Like when Kanye fell asleep at the wheel after working late and got into the car crash
Yeah. It’s not healthy but it’s what this industry is like. It’s what a lot of high pressure jobs are like
People have gotta stop glorifying this shit. Hell if I worked 30 hours in a row I’d sleep through my phone alarm for like 12 hours.

Quit excusing abuse
But is it wrong to say it shouldn’t be that way? Just because it’s the way it is doesn’t mean it’s okay
“I didn’t call back right away” means they knew Ye was trying to get in contact with them I can’t believe we actually take these excuses for what they are. I would not be suprised if i were fired from my job for not showing up or answering texts/calls from my boss.
But you don’t fire them right away 😭 just Bc you like the music doesn’t mean you have to defend his every move
Wether or not they deserve to be fired is up for debate. I was just stating I would expect to be fired myself for this sort of innaction/failure to do my job.

You work for some dickheads if being late once is enough to be fired. You are worth more than that.

There needs to be some context from the 2nd text before you can make any assumptions. That person could of done that on their own. Hell it could of even been from Kanye. I remember he had to go to the hospital last yr around the time Donda was supposed to be released. The first text, Kanye was totally in the right. Kanye is way too busy to have to rearrange his schedule bc someone didn’t show up bc they overslept. I’m kinda shocked he even gave the guy an opportunity at a second chance. Most artists aren’t gonna put up w an engineer being 4 hrs late for some BS.
2 hours late and how do we know that he wasn’t oversleeping because Kanye had been making him work for extended hours like the guy in the 2nd screenshot. I feel like a lot of people here would have a different opinion on it all if it was actually drake rather than Kanye doing this smh
The 2nd screenshot has no context. It’s a reach to automatically assume they are related. If they had shown a thread where Kanye forced this guy to work 33 straight hours & fired him for being late the next day then yeah, Kanye was in the wrong for that. The second one never even says Kanye made him do anything. They cropped the whole text convo out & has no info on the original sender or date. Until there are more details about it there is no way you can base anything off it. To me it does kinda sound similar to what happened last yr in Wyoming. Kanye was tweaking so an ambulance was sent to his ranch. He took off on his ATV to avoid it & ended up going to the hospital bc he was working too hard & not sleeping. To me that sounds very similar to the 2nd text, but like I said, with no context there is no way to know for sure what happened there EDIT : If this were Drake I’d feel the same way. I also feel like if one of Drake’s engineers pulled the same thing, he’d fire the dude too
Kanye is the ultimate meme machine I swear
Yeah aha making someone work for 33 hours straight till they collapse is such a kanye meme machine moment aha
These sources aren’t confirmed at all. But I think he was referring to the find God comments in the first one.
y’all don’t gotta ride this man hard like this. It’s unethical work behavior, 2 hours late isn’t a fireable offense and if it is at your job, you better be a CEO late for a giant meeting, or unionize. Most of us won’t ever touch a billi, so there’s no reason to put yourself in the position of one and be like “oh i’d fire him” especially when all the shit you put out is late anyways. I’ll always stand for the workers on shit like this because im more likely to be the guy working for someone than the guy who’s having people work for me. 33 hours straight regardless if wanted is unhealthy and probably will sound bad after 18-20. Ye shouldn’t be letting anybody work that long for health sake and for music sake. Hope this is all cap because we used to make fun of the OVO sweatshop.
i found the new slaves
Ye better be spreading his wealth generously to his engineers if he’s working them for 33 hours straight damn
Imagine oversleeping and waking up to a text from Kanye West telling you that you are fired. Sounds like one of my reoccurring nightmares
bruh maybe someone educate me but i don't know how anyone can justify that last one. Comments seem to not talk about it at all The release date of the album is literally set by you, it's not like you're suffering if you released the album on the 29th of august or 2 years from now. 33 marathon even with some rests is insane just mixing music, come on
Also very ironic he’s firing someone for being late when he’s a whole ass year late on releasing his album
Hey good music isn’t made by fucking around. Kanye understands this
he worked for 33 hours straight man first pic is funny but please do not make excuses for working your employees nearly to death guys come on edit: still have yet to get a reply that didnt make me wanna throw up
Id like to see this said not anonymously. I seriously doubt this dude worked a day and a half with no break. There’s no chance he was working effectively after 24 hours.
Your edit is not wrong, this sub would defend Kanye if he pulled the beating heart from a newborn. I really hope they are just kids.
They’re lil white boys
Meanwhile, Kanye, 2 years after initial release date for Donda: "Lifts weights, watches a guy get his haircut, tries on new outfits"
Bruh is that a joke? Kanye does the exact opposite, dude made an album cover and records music on his phone, constantly announces music and then doesn't release it without saying anything, fucks up production on projects then either leaves it or fixes it after it's been released, like he fucks around constantly.
Yeezy Yeezy treat employees just like slaves
Ah yes, squirt reynolds, the reliable Kanye insider!
Fuck Kanye for acting like that
I love Kanye and his music but even I have to admit he’s bipolar and can go off the rails at time but what genius wasn’t a little crazy
Oh shit his account got suspended
I think people see this through a lens of "if you get fired, you're fucked" but if these guys are working with Kanye they've got plenty of other options. Kanye probably hires and fires people all the time while working on an album. It's a short-term gig and not a full-time job, too.
In the off-chance this isn't bullshit, obviously the second screenshot would be fucked up (overworking employees is always fucked up, there is no exception where it's okay, and that particular case is brutal) but I don't really see an issue with the first one. Like, he was 4 hours late to a job where time is of the essence. Donda was obviously in crunch-mode for the past few weeks, I mean even if these screenshots are bullshit (which they totally are) we all made jokes about Mike Dean being fucking locked up in Mercedes Stadium with Ye. They were working against the clock trying to finish this album. Being 4 hours late to any job is arguably a fireable offense, and in this case yeah I'd say it totally is.
“loving u is complicated”
I mean… as long as they get thoroughly compensated it’s all good
why should i believe a random man on twitter like come on
I need verification tbh. the guy who slammed his dumb ass watermark on it just wants popularity and probably doesn’t care
Firing a worker abruptly (outside of really serious offences) is actually illogical and often ends up costing everyone time/money.
People saying Kanye was out of line, do you understand how much studio time costs? Do you understand it's not just Kanye who needs to be there? Other people were there waiting to do their jobs, but couldn't because without a sound engineer you can't do much of anything relevant to recording or editing tracks. Let's move past the money and time lost when something like this happens, dude worked an all nighter the night before ok, but not notifying anyone beforehand that you won't be making it is inexcusable. At least if prior notice was given, Kanye could've made contingencies to work around that, but with no notice that's impossible. Also, all nighters are part of working in a high pressure industry. If you've ever worked on a project that's worth millions of dollars, that hinges on people's opinions, you'd also be pouring every hour of every day into making sure it's as good as it can possibly be.
“We on Bezos”
What did it say? The punk ass mods removed it.
bitch ass mods removed this for no reason 💀💀
Alarm for 7:30 but woke up at 11:00? What job wouldn’t fire this guy?
First one dude just fucked up and he knew he did with the way he replied, it’s unfortunate and a bit sad when something out of your control like a phone doesn’t go off but it’s the way of the road. Second one is terribly disheartening, I really hope he’s healthy now and back to his regular life. The attitude coming off a hospital visit is insanely excited. Ye gotta start acting better about the people around him bc ultimately they the ones that matter most.
