The founder and former CEO of BrewDog has claimed the UK is one of the “least work-oriented countries in the world” and urged people to move beyond their obsession with a “work-life balance.”

    Wait, what’s wrong with spoons, besides the obvious?

      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.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
