Episode 10 A dangerous mixture - booze and the workplace

Did you hear about the wine expert targeted by his boss for not favouring natural wines?   Or the bank clerk whose liquid lunches caused standards to slip? What became of Quality Assurance work that endangered employees?  Hear how a legacy of beer at work was overtaken by automation, but not without many bumps, literally,  in employee relations along the way.  And how one company scrapped their subsidised canteen to save money but ended up losing far more than they gained.  My thanks to Fullers' Georgina Wald, and former head brewer John Keeling, and Asahi's Jason Goodwin Murphy for sharing brewery history with me - all embellishments are mine, not theirs - and to those others who contributed to the creation of this episode - you know who you are! Any relation to real people, alive or dead, or any place, is purely co-incidental.  Produced by Makes You Think. Music by Scott Holmes. There is advice on problem drinking and what to do about it from Drinkaware.
