BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

Oh, your suppositions. Hardly proof that I'm wrong! :D😁
Your claim that she was sacked for incompetent forecasting is wrong though, isn’t it? Because she’ll have been reporting on someone else’s forecast. In fact the very first person to mention incompetent forecasting was…. you! Making up an excuse on behalf of the boss.

Also, if it was just poor forecasting, why wait a week? And then do it the day after being informed of a serious family illness. Just a coincidence you think? You’re bloody naive if you do.

Fucking hell. Go to bed, Bellers.
 
Anyone fancy having a go at defending this bit? "She said the company “reluctantly” paid her threemonth notice period in March 2018 after she threatened legal action, leaving her without income for two months."
So it appears she was hired on a contract with a three month notice period (to be fair to Brewdog that's above the legal minimum) so when they terminated her contract (whether a fixed term or not) she is legally entitled to being paid her notice period (provided that Payment In Lieu Of Notice is in the contract). This payment is subject to income tax and nI deductions.

The fact that they tried to avoid paying it is in keeping with their shitty behaviour towards their employees.
 
That doesn't matter though, we can just make it up!

As long as it's anti-BD it's unassailable, no matter how fabricated, and anything else is Daily Mail-esque :D

Nah fuck 'em. "“not close to the standards we talk about and set ourselves”. Funny, these things keep happening though eh. "that's just James." Man's clearly a grade A tosser and I'm inclined to believe the reports of the work culture there.

Possibly. Or she could have been within a 3 month probationary period and they were under no obligation to pay it.
 
It also refers to her as working "on a contract" a couple of times. It's possible that that refers to a permanant employment contract, but also possible that she was a contractor rather than a permanent employee. That would also affect the firm's payout obligations.
 
Seriously? Have you honestly never known someone to be paid off if they caused enough nuisance?

It's perfectly possible. The article quoted doesn't give enough information either way.
She hired a lawyer to get the notice period money.

A lawyer would not have taken her case if it was without foundation.
 
A spokesperson for BrewDog said:

"Ms Molyneux was on a fixed term contract which was bought to an end early, a decision taken by her line manger due to performance issues, totally independent of our CEO, as emails and other records show.

"At no point did he “scream” in this meeting – this allegation is utterly false as others in the meeting have confirmed. She was paid her full contractual entitlement on leaving.

Oh well if that's what Brewdog say - you know, the company with a truly horrendous reputation for bullying, sexism and toxic workplace conditions - then it must be true!

:facepalm:

You would do yourself more favours if you read more of this thread. This company cannot be trusted to tell the time of day.

I am making no comment on the veracity or not of what they are saying. Merely reporting what was reported in the press.
