Fuck this guy, seriously. The man is more repulsive than the carpets in his pubs on a Sunday morning.
Gosh darn it why do people not want to work for minimum wage with shit job perks and shit contracts anymoree????
Guys a nob, but I agree. Get to work.
Edit: My mistake, I didn’t read the article – didn’t realise he was on about pensioners.
Now, fit, healthy benefit scroungers, they can fuck off and get a job.
Let the downvotes commence.
If his idea of work is one which involves selling pints of piss to chronic alcoholics, as in his business model, then it is probably better if people don’t heed his call.
> “I think me and Warren Buffett should launch a campaign to say life is sweeter if you go out to work when everyone else is retired.”
Buffett has never heard of Tim Martin, but if he had he’d laugh at his brexiteering. He’d find it pretty funny how Martin can’t get staff, having campaigned to leave one of the world’s largest labour markets.
Nothing says “making it attractive to to work” than referring to potential employees as “bastards”.
The whole argument about persuading those who have escaped their drudgery back into the workforce is insanity.
There are only two groups who will work beyond retirement age:
Those who have to for financial reasons.
Those who have little else in their lives for whatever reason.
Neither of which group are what i would consider “bastards”.
Ruddy-faced multi-millionaires who think people should be slaves to a machine til the day they die are though.
If i drank alcohol or ate poor quality food, I’d be boycotting his chain now but i will remember not to go to one should i ever need the services of a pub!
How about Go fuck yourself dickhead?
Pensioners aren’t gonna flock back to shitty jobs when they finally manage to retire unless financially they really need to.
He’d better get used to it because due to demographics the shortage of workers is here to stay for a pretty fucking long time
“I think me and Warren Buffett should launch a campaign to say life is sweeter if you go out to work when everyone else is retired.”
Planetary-sized ego, like his face.
I am working. It’s really easy to find people to work for you if you pay them enough.
Shame we can’t get the b*****s in from the EU because of twats like him who donated millions to the leave campaign.
But this *is* the Brexit you voted for, you ham-faced twit.
Remind me again this is same scum bag when covid happened he sacked all his staff.
Now he wonders why he can’t hire staff. Karma ain’t it a bitch.
Edit I stand corrected about the staff being sacked but I suspect that is the vast perception of above being correct.
I just can’t see Warren Buffett telling people to leave retirement to work at Wetherspoons…
If people go back to work, he’ll lose most of his raging alcoholic customers who que outside his pubs everyday from 9 in the morning.
Everyone out of work is all sat in his pub at 8am on a Tuesday spending £3 every two hours on beer or refilling their unlimited coffee.
That’s rich coming from the cunt that sacked a load of his staff at the beginning of lockdown and responded by saying they can go and work in Tesco.
Brexiteers: Europe is the cause of low wages bloody foreigners coming taking jobs and accepting lower pay.
*UK workers don’t want to work for low pay and shitty conditions*
Also Brexiteers: Back to work you bastards! We aren’t paying you more…
Haha how sweet of him to think he plays in the same league as Warren Buffett.
He doesn’t actually say anything that bad here. Although it speaks volumes that the boomers get the carrot and young people get the stick.
He can be a dick but he’s kind of right for a different reason. When you stop moving you wither and die. Some of the fittest pensioners I’ve ever known still work a couple of days a week just to keep moving. Depends entirely on how they’re spending retirement, just don’t ever stop moving.
‘People don’t want to work anymore’ is the ‘women don’t like nice guys’ of shithead CEOs.
Wetherspoons head office still a bunch of twats 20 years on good to know. Do they still do that fake boots on the ground day when they basically get in the way to do fuck all and then swan off halfway through.
I will explain, there are about 5 million white people on welfare, that the Tory’s need to get votes from, so they blame migration,etctec as tool, people losing their welfare to others, will make them vote for anyone.
I worked in spoons and it was one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had. Absolute shit pay, very low morale because all the staff hated working there, very high turnover.
Funny how those who advocate the most for people to not retire are those earning absolutely fuck off money with a lot of McSlaves- I mean workers under them.
Really easy to like the system when you’re winning the game.

The man’s a cunt, but it’s massively refreshing to see a CEO imply we need to raise wages and benefits to fill vacancies.
Most private companies seem happy to ruthlessly profiteer, but go all Karl Marx the second the workers start talking about more money.
​
It’s always seemed perverse that our culture sees it as taboo and distasteful for workers to want a profit motive, an incentive to work, and to decline from working if the reward isn’t worth it.
Companies will do the same – they won’t enter into loss-making contracts, they’ll chase the most lucrative deals, they’ll bargain for more money. Why don’t we talk about workers the same way? It’s a massive double standard.
Most CEOs just slag off their workforce and moralise about “lazyness” or “workshy” people, seemingly unwilling to think about them in commercial terms.
​
Tl;dr: Fuck you, pay me.
I’ve never seen the Queef of Wetherspoons but somehow he looks exactly like I imagined.
I really hope this ruddy faced prick goes under. Bloody hate him and his shitty pubs.
I, thankfully, was born within wedlock so I will not have to return to work.
Sod that dozy bastard. He can speak for himself, sure, but he can piss off as far as I’m concerned.
The big problem right now is that shareholders are not satisfied with even a 60% or 70% increase in profits. As a result, they want even more cost-cutting measures meaning job cuts and less human rights. This started in 2008 and has never stopped whilst CEO’s these days specialise in reducing work forces as their main skill.
We just happen to live in a world where a small group of wealthy people would rather put families into poverty than give up their guaranteed income. On the plus side I think people are waking up to this.
so right wing ideologues like this moon-faced aresehole, who’ve long promoted the wealth creation and second home ownership etc, that allowed people to retire early, are now crying about the generation that created all their wealth while for the most part being ruled by them, now retiring early?
r/LeopardsAteMyFace awaits a crosspost from here.
and as a side note, get fucked tim, you sanctimonious old cunt.
Ok. Pay your staff a good wage, give them guaranteed hours contracts and treat them like people, you stuck up rich prick!
I might have done, but the local hiring managers seem to think I “don’t have the right experience”, so shove it.
Fuck off, Martin. I’m not lifting a finger to help pay for your country’s bills,or to make you a penny richer than you already are. Piss off behind the bar yourself if you’re short-staffed. Have I made myself _crystal_ fucking clear to you, sunshine?
One more reason to stay away from Wetherspoons. You can’t take a support dog there, even if you sit outside. It’s a miserable place.
