‘Hold them captive’: Australian billionaire boss aims to end staff going out for coffee
In another edition of a fat cat telling you who they really are and what they really think: hold them captive. No more coffee runs!
PUT THAT COFFEE DOWN!
A billionaire mining boss who has already banned home working has said he does not want staff to step out of the office for coffee either.
Chris Ellison, the managing director of Mineral Resources, said the industry could not afford to continue down the path of flexible working, and that his company was investing in amenities at the firm’s head office in Perth, Western Australia, to keep people from leaving the building.
“I want to hold them captive all day long,” Ellison said during a financial presentation on Thursday. “I don’t want them leaving the building … I don’t want them walking down the road for a cup of coffee. We kind of figured out a few years ago how much that cost.”

I DON'T WANT THEM LEAVING THE BUILDING.
Woof.
I bet my predictions of a 15 second prison don't seem so off-base to you now, do they?
