    Oh no, less people are working themselves into the ground which limits the need for the momentary escape that alcohol can brings and affects the sales of my pretentious beer. Boo-fucking-hoo.

    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

    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,”

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

        I’ve been told by literal Brewdog barstaff that if they know he’s coming, they need to encourage their female staff to either dress moderately or not come in, to minimise his sexual harassment.

        I don’t know how true that is, but the city I’m based in, which is pretty happy to boycott assholes is filled with people who boycott Brewdog.

      I bought a gin on offer the other day only to get it home and discover it was a brewdog sub brand… I felt tricked

    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?

    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.

          Well spoons isn’t exactly known for its fine dining. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great place to go for a few cheap pints, but it really shouldn’t be anyone’s favorite.

    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.

        Going to the country where they have a tradition of shortening people who get too tall for their own good. I like that
