Didn’t complain when the government paid him to make “ventilators” during the pandemic though did he!
More phenomenal opinions from the guy who claimed to champion British industry then moved the jobs to Singapore. Arsehole.
In what world should we care what this Brexit loving, tax avoiding, opponent of energy efficiency labeling thinks? He sells inefficient overhyped products from abroad that underperform, prematurely break and cannot be repaired.
Speaking from his $73million penthouse apartment in Singapore….
I had a design related meeting yesterday with people in the UK and abroad and at least 3 of the people on the call were working from home.
Dyson sounds like an Industrial Revolution era mill owner wanting ultimate power and control over his workers’ lives.
Actual headline: “Sir James Dyson is out of touch prick”
I’ll wait for Henry hoover to come out with a statement before I make up my mind. Had two dysons and they were both flimsy crap, Henry is a real workhorse.
Hmm, I wonder if Mr Dyson still owns a lot of offices and commercial property in London by any chance.
It’s incredible that just because by the sounds of it he is unable to make remote working work within his company he looks on it negatively as a whole.
If you can’t make these things work within your company it’s you that is failing. If certain things need to be done in person, include that in peoples contracts and make it understood when hiring that this will be the case.
If anything this is just embarrassing from James Dyson
Once we collectively stop listening to these worthless, sociopathic parasites, things have a chance of improving.
I know several people who have quit Dyson due to the working environment and was warned off a job that would be in close orbit of him because ‘when James is awake, youre at work’.
He is, by all accounts, an obnoxious, selfish arsehole so its no surprise that he would prefer the serfs to be chained to their desks where he can see them.
If the billionaire CEOs are crying about something, it can only be a good thing.
​
They’re all opposed to work from home because they can’t keep the workers under their thumb any more. I mean, someone may finish their days work in 5 hours instead of eight and spend those extra 3 hours relaxing and taking some social time.
​
Can’t have that. Have them grinding away in the office for an extra 3 hours and yet getting the same amount of work done because they just drag the task out until 5 o’clock.
Is all he doing now is trying to be a rubbish Elon musk tribute act?
Dyson is genuinely ranked one of the worst businesses to work in the UK.
The man’s going to tank his own company by being belligerent and weird.
Lots of CEOs don’t like WFH culture but they still have the sense to realise there’s some things they’ll have to compromise on. He just seems hellbent on ruining his business.
Last company that I worked at said in 2020: you’re doing a great job of working at home, thank you for saving the company during this difficult period. Then in late 2021 said: it’s not working you all have to come back into the office regularly.
20% of the workforce quit. They’re still quitting. All so an OAP CEO can keep tabs on people.
The guy who made a fortune converting existing dust extraction equipment into a domestic size unit and then took al his manufacturing abroad can keep his fucking ideas to himself. Unpatriotic twat.
People can’t work from home in the UK but James Dyson can move most of his company to Singapore?
It’s not like this forces everyone to work from home, it just means those who want to have the right to request it as soon as they start. If you hate that then it says more about you as a manager than anything else.
I’ve recently moved from Dyson vacuums to shark. Cheaper and a better appliance. Plus fuck dyson
I work in data in tech. Made the mistake of interviewing for dyson once and got an offer. Ran a mile. They couldn’t even hide how archaic the work culture was across 3 or so hours of interviews.
Check out the glassdoor reviews for Dyson, seems like the company wants to move its base to Singapore
>“The Government’s misguided approach will generate friction between employers and employees, creating further bureaucratic drag,” Sir James said.

>“Employers, who are charged with being competitive and developing their workforce, know the huge damage (working from home) does to companies and employees alike.
What a clueless twat.
I’m working for a very successful company whose employees are 100% remote. Only the directors tend to go to the office (and it’s a small office, tiny footprint). Everybody is much more reachable, much less stressed and much more collaborative.
I bought a dyson – holy fuck their build quality is absolute dogshit.
Instead of talking politics that dude should create products that are worth the price tag.
This from the guy who promoted brexit and then moved his company HQ to Singapore.
My friend worked for them and they had software on the computers to check you were working 100% of the time. This was in the office, not even when wfh.
This guy’s a right nob and his vaccums blow. I like to play ‘guess how many dysons are in the electrical area’ whenever I go to the tip. I live near their HQ and they’ve always got jobs going, expect people in most of the time and the pay is shite.
Dyson vacs are shit. They are supposed to not lose suction but every time we use it ( had numerous replacements ) they will never work on full power, just giving the airways blocked message.
Dyson will always be cunt and his products will always be overpriced crap.
James can suck my farts the little tax dodging, labour exporting knobhead.
Says the guy that pushed for brexit, then moved his Global headquarters to Singapore.
Why does it seem to be right wingers in particular that hate the idea of workers working from home?
There are pros and cons to home working, but I really don’t see how political ideology comes into it…
This is the guy that moved all the Dyson factories to cheaper countries, right? Yeah mate, I am not taking a 90 mins train each way to commute so you can feel better
Wheres that factory you promised the UK if Brexit went cause somehow the EU was stopping you from building it hmmmm?
***Oh wait it’s in Singapore***.
Another tosser who’d burn the country down if he thought he could turn a profit on doing so. Tell you what fucko you stop acting like a two faced traitor and maybe we’ll take your opinion under advisement.
I work for local authority. We all have the option to decide where we work from. The office is there if we need it, but there is no obligation to work from there. Everyone knows what their responsibilities are and what they need to achieve day to day. We utilise MS teams etc to get the work done. I have NEVER BEEN HAPPIER AND MORE PRODUCTIVE. Wfh saves me time and money, gives me a much better work/life balance, and saves the council money. No brainer.
Now becoming clearer why this guy was an avid Brexiter.
I’ve got mine, now let’s gut any benefits for anyone else.
Bit rich for a man who moved his organisation to “Work From Singapore” to dodge tax.
I work in engineering, and not a million miles from Dyson. I know of a significant amount of people that have worked there and fucking. Hated. It.
Apparently a truly awful, toxic, work environment
James Dyson can sod off and go and do the hoovering, total bell end.
As my boss keeps saying, we trust you to manage projects that can cost millions, we should be able to trust you to do your hours.
“Billionaire condemns action that’s good for his workers but bad for his bottom line”
P.S. Dyson vacuums are overpriced rubbish.
I work a lot better from home. Largely because I don’t have 4 hours of commuting every day. I can take a break and work a bit later if I need without then being concerned I might miss a train home, and have to wait an hour for the next one.
My productivity is higher, and I’m more comfortable.
At 40, I don’t want to be going to the pub with my 20 something work colleagues every day because my mates are the people I hang out with where I live, and I have a family so spending time with my kids is way more important than sitting on a train 2 hours each way.
It’s a huge con in the 21st century. Working from home will hopefully result in less concentration of workers in densely populated areas and instead allow communities out of big cities to become more important.
God the more I see and hear from this guy the more I regret ever buying a Dyson in the past. What a complete and utter cunt. Shark hoovers are better btw.
This prick owns office buildings in London. He makes more money (money he doesn’t need) when more people work from an office. Any other reason he gives is bullshit.
