Since when do people actually write letters again? We don't know but we just found one in our mailbox. No idea how long it lingered in there, because we're an all digital company and this whole concept of printing something on paper seems absurd to us. So, in this open letter to ourselves, some former employee is complaining about the working atmosphere at Method. That's a shame, because we like it here. Anyway, we'll just pass this letter on to you and let you make up your own mind.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Method Mag,



There is a growing group of voices complaining about the work ethic at your mag. There is an intoxication inside your company that has driven countless amazing employees to become drunks and drifters and has ultimately led to the recent Chinese stock market crisis.

You have a bunch of "senior“ editors working at your company that have undermined you, your company and the entire readership with poor and tasteless content for consecutive months while they went on extended soul searching trips only to return with shitty jokes, acoustic guitars and chlamydia (I' m just guessing here but if they don't have chlamydia then they should just post a comment under the article and let me know). That's not to mention the former editor who's gone into hiding in a Brazilian jungle for reasons I was told, "will remain undisclosed."

These guys don't snowboard every day, especially not in summer. They squander company money, revel in self-indulgence and drink Corona all summer even though there are much cheaper beers available.

They don't even want to cooperate with Coachella. And that sucks, because I really want to get free tickets for Coachella. I wrote an anonymous letter to the boss before about this issue and he didn't even read it. I think he might even be involved in this.

All these "employees" really do there is have a great fucking time and consistently undermine you, the reader. All you get to read is snowboard-related content, and, well, they write stuff about their friends and partners. Why do they never feature me in the mag? I submitted a shot of me riding the T-Bar. Did they print it? No, they did not.

Here is a comprehensive list of unsubstantiated rumors and allegations of what they did wrong in the past six months alone. I hope I can ruin their lives just like they ruined mine, when they made me drink Corona.

- Ignorance of legitimate boarding: They didn't print the shot of me riding the T-Bar. Obviously they don't know shit.

- Drug Abuse: One of them uses the drug Flakka regularly while at work. (allegedly)

- Corona Consumption: They made me drink Corona at a party and I don't even particularly like Corona. I prefer Sol but I thought they would fire me if I didn't drink it.

- Workplace Ethics: They regularly go snowboarding during the week on work days. They'll call it "going to the outdoor office“. How is the general economy supposed to get a grip with this sort of work ethic?

- Possibly even more drug abuse: The boss made me go and get him Coke during lunch time. I was so nervous. I wasn't sure if I was suppose to get him Coke Zero or Diet Coke as he is slightly over weight.

- Coachella: Again, I really want to go there.

What is at risk:


- Your time: You could really waste it by reading any of this.

- Your conservative worldview: This publication puts you at risk of losing grasp of the golden rule: We are all supposed to think and act alike! It's a modern fucking society!

I think it's safe to say that I am the voice of snowboarding. I've been a snowboarder for a while now and I even tried these soft boots once. I think we all agree that I am qualified to speak for everyone out there. So, yeah, that's that. By the way I'm looking for a new job. Hit me up at [email protected]
