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

[Spymaster]

Revenue up by 31% last year and the employee profit share seem to paint a rather different picture to the agenda monkey one.

You've got to hand it to these guys. They know how to exploit a fad!

Interestingly from the above article it seems BD’s marketing department is largely headed by women.

David Sullivan used to hire women to edit his grot mags. You've fallen for it again.

"We can't be sexist, we have women working for us" has got big "I can't be racist, I have a black friend" energy.

Parroting corporate pablum was never going to be all that difficult.

The time has come to unfollow this thread.

We know what Brewdog is, we know the kind of sleazeballs they are, we know how "punk" they are. And as for "there's going to be red faces in this thread", I'm more bothered about the brown noses.

If James Watt is diagnosed as autistic, would it change anything?

I would say not really but I wonder what others think.

BrewDog boss slammed for saying unconfirmed autism diagnosis may be behind ‘bullying'

BrewDog boss slammed for saying unconfirmed autism diagnosis may be behind ‘bullying'

BrewDog's CEO has been slammed for claiming he is seeking an autism diagnosis, which he suggests would answer questions of his behaviour.

You'd think most people with any dignity would quietly get properly diagnosed before blabbing to the press and promoting the condition as an excuse for his despicable behaviour and sexual harassment of young female staff.

One of the original members of Punks With Purpose, brewer Charlotte Cook told db: “Whilst seeking a diagnosis is a positive step, the workers at Brewdog did not live and work under James’ potential autism. The cultural issues were perpetuated under him and carried out by others, neurodivergency does not explain these ingrained cultural problems. Similarly, health conditions or anything that would affect work were not dealt with by a swift referral to a private doctor for the workers at Brewdog. I for one was told I’d need to take unpaid time off when I cried at work once, when my mental health was so poor I was suicidal. That anyone can preside over a culture that allows this and yet attempt to leverage his own tears for sympathy is beyond imagining.”

Autism, which can sometimes be characterised by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviours as well as differences in communicating has not yet been considered as reasoning for Watt’s behaviour towards others, however it is not and nor should it be directly linked to misconduct or sexual allegations.

Yeastie Boys co-founder Stu McKinlay said: “I’m not a psychologist/psychiatrist but I’ve spent a lot of time with them, and reading in that space, given I have three neurodiverse children. This fella displays more attributes of an antisocial personality disorder than any neurodiversity.”

Others tweeting threw shade on Watt’s latest comments on autism, insisting the move was deflection of responsibility and, as Raw Milk podcaster Callum James highlighted: “Autism does not make one a bully or a sex pest regardless” labelling the new line of defence from Watt as “a complete straw man”.

Guy's a complete fucking scumbag.

It could potentially go a slight way to explaining his genius as a businessman if he joins the ranks of Elon Musk, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton et al ...

Brewdog to open biggest bar in London.

So no sign whatsoever that any of the conspiracy stuff has affected the business. Quite the opposite, in fact!

Elon Musk is a reasonably intelligent guy who had an extremely lucky start in life and was prepared to shit on anyone who got in his way to achieve his goals. Treats his employees and others like utter crap - I see no evidence of genius. (No idea whether he's autistic or not.)

Albert Einstein probably was a genius. No proof he was autistic, only speculation.

Isaac Newton was a genius. Again, there's only speculation that he was autistic, a lot of which is confused with the fact that he had mental health problems.

It's a pretty clueless stereotype that autistic people are geniuses. Autistic traits might make it more likely in some cases for people to work diligently as something they're good at, but plenty of very intelligent people, or those who are exceptionally gifted, aren't on the autism spectrum. And vice versa.

I sincerely doubt that you think Watt really is a genius.

Except he is most likely not a genius in the world of business.
