Quote of the Day #17 – Pret A Shame

 

Quote of the day: “The training should be more about encouraging people than shouting and shaming them. … it has been the most stressful job I have had in a couple of years.”

Dear Pret Leadership,

why are you doing this to your staff?

You need more money?!

I have a few pennies in my purse

I have some water to quench your thirst

I have more patience to help your patients

who are left behind after the grind

on a psychiatric ward

What about those who want to end their life

while you continue to thrive

in your millions and billions

and whatever …illions that are left

to strive

for what?

I survived.

Are you enjoying yourself?

I hope so.

Life is short

Be kind to yourself and to those who make it happen

for you.

I worked at Pret A Manger and survived systemic workplace bullying during bereavement that involved HR, the top leadership, HQ and even the now “retired” former CEO Clive Schlee. I declined 4 settlement offers if I am silent about my ordeal. But I rather speak out to help others. For an overview of important blog entries of my experience with Pret, please visit “My Ordeal with Pret A Manger”. The little arrow to the right next to each heading will lead directly to the post.

I tell my story for the first time verbally in below audio player interview on a podcast by The Adam Paradox, and wrote two articles in the Scottish Left Review.
Thank you for reading/listening.
