Richard Branson wants you to cut off your boss's tie

5/22/2012

Rebel billionaire Richard Branson has long been a vocal enemy of the necktie. In his newest blog post, he informs the world that he thinks the business-attire staple chokes innovation and likely still exists only because "bosses, after being forced to wear ties all their life, are determined to inflict the same fate on the next generation." Branson admits that he frequently carries a pair of scissors with him so he can cut unsuspecting people's ties off to free their minds. He's now asking all of us to grab the nearest cutting instrument and join his crusade. Don't stab yourselves, kids.
