Techie wanted half-time work to build his distillery, but Spotify denied. His next move was resignation

Rasmus Dall, a Danish research scientist at Spotify, resigned from the company after his request to work half-time was denied. Dall wanted to use the extra time to focus on building his own distillery, where he plans to make fruit and berry brandies from his orchard. His decision to leave his tech career and pursue the distillery has led to discussion online about flexible working, part-time jobs and work-life balance.
