I don't think it's fair to criticize his usage of employees... He's operating a media company and all of his upgrades are essentially glorified media operations. Everyone on camera is a media personality playing a role.

The point isn't to get cable installed, it's to have an engaging personality on camera doing something interesting. Getting cable installed is a happy coincidence.

Even then, he shouldn't have asked his employees to work on his home renovation.
