    This the same BrewDog that the term brewdogging was coined for, meaning getting interviewees to solve actual problems in the company, thereby stealing free work from people looking for jobs?

    Yeah, fuckem

    Move beyond that obsession, towards what, exactly? Besides, it’s not as if this apparent laziness has stopped you getting stinking rich.

    So to paraphrase. Rich guy with passive income, thinks the people providing his passive income should do more for less, thereby maximising his passive income.

    Did I get that right?

      Correct. Whilst he also gets the opportunity to enjoy some work-life balance himself:

      When he left the company, he mentioned plans to “take a bit of time off, to travel, to spend more time with my family and friends,”

    Spoons and BD have been on my “do not drink at” list for a while.
    This underlines the BD one for me.

        I think they might be referring to the owners politics, specifically his very strong Leave campaign during the EU referendum. Could be wrong though.

          IIRC, the owner chose to support brexit because it might mean the UK implemented minimum alcohol pricing sooner, which might have increased his trade when the gap between supermarket and pub drinking got smaller.
          It really rubbed me the wrong way that was his reason.

      This guy’s notorious for being a weapons grade prick. Absolutely not surprising he’s saying stuff like this.

    Is this the same founder of brew dog whose female staff are told never to be in a room alone with him? Or is that the other one?

    Oh look it’s another mad psycho at the top of a company who would have fucking thought it I’ve definitely never seen that before Wowee so strange and unusual. Ban companies, ban money, put people like this out in pieces on tower bridge that’s my advice.

      I think this is a great idea! Perhaps he could move his whole company, its beers and himself in the process.

    Yet another Booo dog. Much better breweries from traditional to the likes of Northern Monk.
