Spotify said no to half-time, so he quit to become a distiller: Danish man's post goes viral — ‘last day in tech’
A Danish research scientist has quit his job at Spotify after the company refused his request to switch to half-time work, revealing in a viral LinkedIn post that he wanted more time to build his own fruit and berry brandy distillery.
A Danish man, Rasmus Dall, announced his resignation from Spotify after the company refused to allow him to work half-time so he could focus on building his own distillery. Dall explained in a LinkedIn post that he wished to spend more time on his distillery, "www.gedelille.dk," and was denied his request for a half-time schedule.
He acknowledged that such a request is rare in tech companies, and his move might signal the end of his tech career. Dall, who worked as a research scientist at Spotify, expressed enthusiasm for his new venture as a fruit and berry brandy distiller. His post went viral on social media, garnering half a million views, and sparked discussions about Scandinavian social security and the benefits of fractional employment in tech.
