Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says he can handle the heat. As it turns out, not only is that not true but he sometimes even loses his cool.
While on the campaign trail, Ramaswamy likes to portray himself as someone who has everything under control and can roll with the punches. But former employees at his companies say he was an exceptionally demanding boss, particularly when it came to office temperature, Business Insider reported Friday.
The former employees, speaking anonymously, said that Ramaswamy insisted office thermostats be set to 64 degrees or lower. It would be so cold in the offices that people had to wear fleece jackets inside and use space heaters at their desks.
Ramaswamy hired former Army Rangers as his bodyguards. At one point, his campaign hired three at once. In addition to ensuring the safety of Ramaswamy and his family, one of the Rangers’ main jobs was to arrive at his hotel rooms before he did and make sure they were cold enough for his liking.
Former employees acknowledged that Ramaswamy is a hard worker but said he could be quite inflexible as a boss. When a colleague suggested people be allowed to leave early on summer Fridays, Ramaswamy snapped.
“He lost his cool completely and went off on a rant about summer Fridays and how dare anyone ask about that,” one of the former employees said.
Another of Ramaswamy’s demands was for a serving of cottage cheese to be ready and waiting on his desk every morning. If he ordered takeout for lunch, he insisted that his assistant put the food on a plate and serve it to him.
“He thinks people are put on this earth to serve him,” a person who worked closely with Ramaswamy told Insider.
Ramaswamy’s campaign spokesperson confirmed that “Vivek likes it chilly” in the office but denied the other accusations. But the reported behavior actually tracks with what Ramaswamy has shown of himself so far.
The biotech entrepreneur is brash and overly self-assured, remaining convinced he is right even when his ideas are terrible. Ramaswamy has openly embraced making Eminem angry, pushing conspiracy theories, caving to autocratic leaders, and using his campaign to evade lawsuits.
64 degrees...sounds like someone could be a bit paranoid about microorganisms, etc.
It’ll be a problem if/when he gets to DC. Few air conditioners are sized to cool down to 64F when it’s 100F out.
In Brandon’s Twilight Zone America, 64 degrees in the house this coming winter will be a LUXURY that few can afford.
Sorry. I’m still on Team Trump. I still want to MAGA! :)
They figured if that detail of the contract was followed, others would be as well.
Meh. Standard smear garbage. Who cares even if it is true?

Which appeared in the article.
I told my employees if they worked harder it would keep them warm.
I'm assuming this is a swipe at Trump that they could resist including, just for the fun of it.
That temp sensitivity and, if true, his temper could be a sign of high blood pressure. I ran that way at his age. Lots of benefits per clear thinking and bursts of energy, but his organs might be taking a thrashing.
If he was born in the United States to parents legally within the United States, he is a natural born citizen.

Yeah... the boss is usually richer.
I remember there was someone who did this. Entitled
“legally”?
To differentiate from anchor babies?
Nice try RW, but you’ve drawn a arbitrary, modern line to define a term coined going on three hundred years ago.
No dice.
Do you also count Cubamerinadian Ted Cruz as an NBC?

Every time you say a story like this about Vivek know that it is because he is over the target.

“He thinks people are put on this earth to serve him,”
He’s dot Indian, right? That’s what they do.
The biotech entrepreneur is brash and overly self-assured, remaining convinced he is right even when his ideas are terrible.
His company has lost millions on his ideas and he wants to run America Joe Biden in tan.
Actually, there was a reason for that. It was an immediate visual indication that all the requirements on their contract had been followed...... ie equipment needed was there, set us was as expected etc.
“He’s the boss!” don’t mean s***. If your job is lunch boy, then sure, cottage cheese right away, sir. Other than that, everybody needs to stick to their basic job descriptions. For Vivek, that would mean directing the business, not getting served nasty old dairy spooge on ‘real’ plates. Unless he measures his ‘output’ in the bathroom instead of his boardroom.
