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

[Pickman's model]

One thing's for sure, this latest twist in the thread convo has convinced me how little I understand of the modern world of business. Probably best if I just stick to snipping about how shite BD are from now on.

It has the urban seal of approval

The accounts are still overdue. But a whole number of Brewdog companies, like the forestry one, all have an upcoming due date of the end of this month so wonder if they're just leaving it until then and do the whole lot at once.

I'm hearing that one of Brewdog's most senior founding staff members has just quit to become the chief exec of the Prezzo chain.

Most of the late accounts have now been filed, except for Brewdog PLC. Due back in June this year, yet not taken care of with the others.

equationgirl It's imo not fair to say serious things like that when someone can't reply - I think it'd show a nice spirit if you delete your post and dessiato if you could do the same

I don't know how I've missed this. I'd willingly delete the post but it won't let me.

editor could you do it for me please?

What a fucking prick.

Since stepping down, he has since got involved in other areas of business. That includes his fiancée’s company and recently he suggested he could delay his marriage to Ms Toffolo for three years to get a tax break on that.

 

[dessiato]

What a fucking prick.

I agree. Delaying your marriage for a tax break suggests he’s not really into Toff.

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

It is foolish not to recognize available tax breaks.

The shithead is already fucking loaded.

But immoral to take advantage of them

But immoral to take advantage of them

But don't blame the person availing of it. They're only doing what pretty much anyone else would do. Blame the system that allows it.

I shall blame both.

Fair enough, but most people would do exactly the same in his position.
Oh here, Mr. Taxman. Have more money than I'm legally obliged to give you... Yeah right

Never very convinced by such assertions, tbh. Such a small sub-set of the population ever become so grotesquely rich as Watt that I don't see how it's possible to extrapolate these psychopath's behaviour across to the population as a whole. Call me an old romantic, but it delaying a marriage for years for tax planning purposes does not look like the behaviour of well adjusted people.

 

[editor]

If I was head over heels in love with someone there's no fucking way I'd wait three years just to save some money.

Add in the fact that this tax-swerving cunt has already amassed a huge fortune, so it's greed, plain and simple. And then he likes to boast about it.

But it would be hard to suppress a LOL if she ended up dumping the money grubbing, staff-bothering creep two years from now.

 

[brogdale]

What is truly LOL is that fuckers like these give interviews and spout such warped, psychopathic greed genuinely thinking it will make them look good.

 

[PR1Berske]

It's more "price of everything, value of nothing" thinking from Watt, whose beer is overpriced, whose venues are cold warehouses of despair, and whose working practices have been proven to be prejudicial, damaging, and abusive.

Most normal people wouldn’t have a clue about some tax saving for a wedding because they’re not obsessed with money and fiddling the system to their own benefit at every turn.
