Mark Cuban is a Piece of Shit Who Deserves What He Gets [View All]

Their offices are located in a refurbished warehouse on the edge of downtown Dallas, where more than 100 employees are jammed into cubicles. It definitely has no frills.

”What do you need frills for?” asks Cuban.

The hours are long, the pay is low, and Cuban expects results -- not excuses.

“It's a fun industry. I mean, they're younger. They don't know any better. No, I mean…It’s a sweatshop here and we’re proud of it,” says Cuban. “You can’t see the chains attached to their ankle, but … the reality is there’s just so much competition for the jobs.”

Turnover is almost non-existent. And many of these people have worked for Cuban for years. His old friend, George Prokos, was one of the first people that Cuban hired. He’s a vice president, but does he get a bigger cubicle?

”That means I get a double wide, a corner double wide with a window. Panoramic view,” says Prokos, adding that the first thing Cuban told him when he first came to work as a sales manager was: “I don't care if you have to hire 18,147 salespeople. I want that building sold out every night."

And, he says, Cuban allowed him to hire as many people as was necessary to do that, as long as “we didn’t pay them too much.”
