Orange County Choppers Sneak Peek - Sr. Yells at Rick & Evan

[@ghettobeats]

When a boss treats his employees good they'll move the world for him.... Treat them like shit they'll leave one by one until you go bankrupt.

[@lusmas99]

Bingo

[@Jason-lm5dc]

People don’t leave a bad job, the leave a bad boss.

[@Corinthians-kjv]

Yep

[@bobbymuolic8854]

I'm disagree with u these guys are slackers

[@Arctic_Falcon]

@@bobbymuolic8854 lol you're joking right? Rick used to drive 200 miles PER DAY for this job and did it for over a decade, and was usually the first one there and the last one to leave every day.

[@0verkill89]

he treats his employees like animals "you stay here, on the bike. All day long"

[@crupert23225]

Paul Sr and his wife were walking through the Philly airport one time when I was there. No one knew who they were (most people wouldn't know them from the show unless they were motorcycle people). I jumped out of my chair in the gate waiting area and said hello, and he merely said "thank you" and kept walking. Wouldn't even shake my hand. That told me all I needed to know about him. His persona on the show is exactly who he is. A total...____. You fill in the blank.

[@Scrapla1]

Met him when he opened up a shop in South Florida. I didn't want to approach but my buddy talked me into getting a pic with him and a similar experience. He was also way shorter than I imagined the cameras made him look bigger on TV

Didn't he eventually go to Paul Jr. Designs with Jr? I think that at least Vinny did for awhile.

Especially if I was trying to do something, that helps to get this project done. I'd leave, too... just like Vinnie and Paul, Jr. Did!

[@mattclark2670]

Sr. Really did end up burying the shop and the company.

[@macattach8510]

Paul Sr. had the two best people working for him ,, Paul Jr. and Vinnie which he screwed...

[@Arctic_Falcon]

Well, Jr was more than an employee -- he was a part-owner of the company. I think Sr often forgot that.

[@ronaldshank7589]

​@@Arctic_FalconY'know, Jr. showed up late to work, time after time, and left, either in the middle of the day, or before they closed...but now I understand why. Jr. was one of the main people there, and pulled his end of the load. Sr, though, apparently didn't know half of what Jr. did. When Sr. fired Jr...well, there went the show.

that's the point I would have said fuck it and walked

I'd never work under any manager like this because I wouldn't want to risk shouting back or getting in a physical fight with them.

[@jonathanmurray9706]

My dad. Behavior was a lot like Paul's he was also a hothead one time he fired t whole staff we had a Volvo dealership he said he would rather do it by himself than let the people who worked for him take control .we had t best techs ever .they where all racers or where into builds others own the shop was always busy the tech we had where tech not like today if the computer did not tell them how to fix the car .mosothe time Paul Jr and Mr Tuttle where a lot like our family we had six kids and the relationship was so close to my dad and the oldest they faught a lot just like Paul and Jr I see the show and man it all come back .we lost the dealership because my dad got sick and my brother ànd my father just could not make it work . it was à very badtime in my life I was 14 at tjh time I wish I was older maybe I could have helped more.I'm glad it all worked out for Paul and Jr there very lucky it could have turned into something they could not hav3 just walked away from they could have. lost everything what takes a lifetime to build can go away in six months and tn there all the lies and theft that goes on thank god it all worked out for them I no trustme.my older brother and I don't get along anymore for many reasons.I guess he thought I was against him but I was just trying to help .I was INa bad place. I worked for a Toyota dealership for the next 23 years .Paul ànd Jr its. Best that your separated for many reason I'm just glad for them it all came together for both.good luck and remember family's fight for so many reasons.working together is sometimes not a good thing .you've both been blessed .trust me good luck and don't forget my brother and I don't talk at all so keep up the work on your relationship its more important than anything .I get it

[@Paul-vl8zq]

There's been a rule since day dot that your not allowed on ya phone in work hours.. Sr used to have ago at Jr for it back in old days. So Rick should know and if the boss tells you to work you work because he's the boss if you don't want to work he will get person who will. I know shouting doesn't make it right I get that but people are easy replaced these days. Should be lucky he has a job.

[@scottsmad1115]

What would you do if you where paying someone to build bikes and work and you look outside your office and they are fucking around ?, you only see one clip, this might happen more often thank you know. Snr is the one paying wages, and putting his money and name on the line. No one forces rick , evan or anyone else to work there,if they want to fuck around on someone else's time thats what happens.

[@headspaceaudio7745]

Its staged because no sane person would work under a meat head. Custom bikes really do take a lot of time and these expectations are super unrealistic

[@minnesotajames1]

And now this empire is a cautionary tale. Back to where Sr began. With Sr building a couple bikes a year out of a little shop. Whoever got in Sr's ear and said "You are the star, people tune in to see you. You don't need Jr, Mikey or Vinnie. You're the man!". They are the real villain in this story. And Sr believed it. So sad.

[@eltorolocowey]

This is the legacy of OCC 3 employees and NO bikes being built. Rick is a master craftsman.

[@scottbrown7497]

They had 70 employees at the peak of the show

[@JF32304]

I'd never work under him under any circumstances. It was a great cool show in the beginning. I now know what happened. SR!! Blows a fuse so fast!

[@johnzabik270]

I used to work in an environment where one person who is busting their ass all the time while everyone else is doing something else like being on their phone, cutting coupons..bullshit stuff and I can see Seniors point of view. He doesn't write a paycheck to be on the phone..

[@tommyt1971]

“Do me a favor, come in my office?” Yeah, some fuckin’ favor.

[@axlejohnson9156]

The last time I worked for someone that kept losing one tech after another. I told him that he was the common denominator. It's the only explanation that made any sense. Senior is a roid raging time bomb. Why anyone would work for this guy is a mystery.

[@Chief6067]

This was a mad up scene totally, it's transparent as hell, pretty pathetic to do something like that for show ratings. Rick telling Sr to wait a min while on the cell phone was not even in character for him. Made up for ratings Dude!! you guys could have made it more plausible This scene was shit

Rick was the biggest man in the shop

[@damienholland8103]

While the arguing between Paul Sr. and his son may have been real, on the original show, I'm suspicious of this scene from this show. It could be staged to help the ratings because if there's no real drama people get bored and stop watching.

[@johnzabik270]

The stress level is very high!

[@Corinthians-kjv]

Hahhahahahahaha

[@anthonyevans535]

Where's Paul Jr. when you need him?

[@OneManParade]

Sr yells at somebody? Never saw that coming.

[@andreroestenberg6346]

Like how Sr says he is going to let shop manager take care of it and while shop manager starts saying something Sr comes out and berates his employees. His temper is out of control and his actions perceive him.. he is going to die lonely bc he treats family and friends like crap and he is a father and boss and is not a real leader

[@Beachdude67]

to work for senior pretty much requires that you have zero self esteem.

[@burningkarma]

You could tell how much Ron just hated being in his position. Constantly having to deal with Paul Sr.'s hissy fits.

Here, he's having to deal with Sr's. wrath, and yeah: It's totally unwarranted! He shouldn't have to sit there, and have to hear all that from Sr!

[@PJMontoya]

Fire him, fire him, fire everyone because everyone is an idiot or lazy but Sr. Then Sr can do everything himself since he thinks it’s all about him anyway. No wonder he’s about to lose everything. He’ll never understand that a happy worker is a productive worker. Treat them like machines and realize later that all machines have their breaking point

Hey man, if the script tells you must have another fight, we need to film another fight and that's that! I'm tell you if I get there and we don't have another fight scene I'm going bezerk! Rick is there making the bike, Evan is helping that other guy and that other guy is in his office working and making calls! If I don't see another fight scene in the next 5 minutes I'm going to lose it, so you better start yelling because I'm the one paying you guys! lol

how much does his employees get paid in a year? Over or under 100k?

[@jimsteele7108]

Exactly. Good one

[@Arctic_Falcon]

By the time this was recorded I would say well under 50k. The restaurant part of OCC paid about as much or less than McDonald's, if that says anything. During the heyday of American Choppers (which this clip is not from) Sr and Jr apparently made 100k per episode and the rest made 5k from Discovery. Of course employees like Vinnie were also paid an hourly wage by OCC, which was probably $15/hour at the most.

Jesus fuck even Mikey is worth more than Sr now. Business mastermind huh? Rick lives a bit away and has kids. If you are dumb enough to scream at your best manufacturing worker like he is a teenager working the drive through then "I'm old school" basically means you know fuck all about how to keep a business viable.

Can someone spell "Hostile Work Environment"? You never reprimand employee's in front of each other unless its a major incident. It is always best to quietly, professionally coordinate or do verbal warnings to staff. This video is a perfect example for a business manager level training class. Sr is the chief executive, firstly he did the right thing by speaking to the manager, but to then go over the managers head and yell at his staff is unacceptable and it clearly shows why Paul Jr. left OCC. I like Sr and all but he needs to sit on his throne and be professional.
