Barbara Corcoran is one of the few success stories that we often hear in the life of an entrepreneur. Now one of the most successful women in the world in real estate and star of the popular TV show Shark Tank,’ life wasn’t always easy when she was young, as she says on the podcast “The Diary Of A CEO.” When she was young, Barbara had dyslexia and struggled in school because of it, but that’s one of the reasons she succeeded in the end. Before starting his own business, he had around 22 jobs.
But one day, Barbara found out that the “old boys,” as she called them, didn’t have any new ideas for real estate, and that’s when she knew she could do something in this business. That’s why her boyfriend, Ramon Simone, offered to lend her $1000 to start a business with her at the time. And after seven years, he runs away with his secretary and says he won’t make it. He took it personally, and that’s how he became one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world.

Nice story, huh? However, this is not the part that most people are interested in the podcast; it’s something that seems so at odds with Barbara Corcoran’s success story but true to her character today on the TV Show “Shark Tank,” where she’s a shark.
Barbara Corcoran Says She Likes to Fire People
Barbara Corcoran knew she had to be stronger, tougher and more determined to be a successful entrepreneur. And that’s also one of the reasons why he became a star in ‘Shark Tank.’ But during the podcast, he went too far for US citizens who continue to experience labor shortages. Shared on Tiktok by Steven Bartlett, the 30-year-old podcast host, the clip reached 2.2 million views and a ton of bad reactions in the comments because of what he said at the beginning of the clip.

“I would like to call someone to my office on Friday. I like to fire people on Fridays. I’ll stop by someone’s desk on a Wednesday and say, ‘Hey, do you have any time, on Friday?’ — They should have heard the rumor … I can’t wait until they come in to fire them!” is what he said on the podcast. Fortunately for him, he lives in the US because if he were French, especially with the ongoing protests, the reaction of the population would be horrible.
However, that doesn’t mean people who saw the clip weren’t upset by what he had to say, especially with the context of what happened in the US. When Steven Bartlett asked for more details about why he likes to fire people, he talked about the type of employee he was talking about: “I choose negative individuals, and my attitude towards negative people is that they spoil my good children. Because negative people must have other people to be negative with them – they have to talk to someone.”

So Barbara Corcoran’s reason for firing people is that if she keeps negative people in her company, it will cause other employees to fail because of their negativity. Well, most people will tell you It’s okay to be negative because being positive can often be worse than being negative sometimes, especially if the situation in the company is critical. But he stated again the person he was talking about: “I’m not talking about people who tell you what you’re doing wrong. They are invaluable so you can be better. I’m talking about chronic complainers and negative people; you have to eliminate them.” But as people began to understand what he meant despite their disappointment, he added that he didn’t tell people why they were fired: “I don’t know, you just didn’t fit in with the company.” So now the question is, what does the comment section on Tiktok think about it?
Reaction Comment Section
“I mean, OK, but do you LIKE it?”: this simple question in the comments sums everything up perfectly. What Barbara Corcoran said in the podcast was very awkward, and most people felt she was trying to justify herself, knowing she said something wrong. The word “Love” seems a bit exaggerated here.
“I wonder where he keeps his Dalmatian fur coat”: this comment shows that because of those words and the way he talks about it, he has been victimized by most people now, but it seems that he does not want to say on camera that he enjoys doing it . In the end, as harsh as it was at the time, it still suited his character, and no doubt one day, he would talk about the story to say that he didn’t like firing people; it’s just something he doesn’t communicate well.
