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
Keep on pushing back or you’ll end up like us across the pond.
Move beyond that obsession, towards what, exactly? Besides, it’s not as if this apparent laziness has stopped you getting stinking rich.
Oh look someone else who can fuck right off.
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.Wait, what’s wrong with spoons, besides the obvious?
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.
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?
I think it’s the same guy, yeah.
Don’t buy BrewDog beer. Got it.
This guy’s notorious for being a weapons grade prick. Absolutely not surprising he’s saying stuff like this.
Such a “punk” company and guy eh?
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
The one brewdog pub we have here is overpriced and not very nice, now I have one less reason to go there
I hope he’s right. I prefer to be among people who are obsessed with work life balance.
How dare people want to balance his quality of life with their own!
He should try to open a factory with us in France.
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.
I totally agree, I think to encourage enthusiasm for work he should make all his employees equal shareholders with a stake in the business so all can benefit and run brewdog as a worker owned co-op, but something makes me think he won’t.
Not defending the guy, he seems an ass but he is also seemingly not that involved with the company anymore.
Watt stepped down from BrewDog’s daily operations last year after 17 years but retains his ownership stake and holds the title of “captain and co-founder” in a non-executive role.
The company apologised and promised to learn from the situation, though they later faced backlash for reversing a pledge to pay real living wages.
So maybe rather lookup what he currently does and boycott that if you can.
If he retains an ownership stake doesn’t that mean he still takes home the profit of Brewdog so boycotting would still be effective/desirable?
Only in the form of dividends, if brewdog pays them.
So “yes”.
I’d think so
