it’s not what Emily said
She said grief is a thief
and she declared it tongueless
I say no to this
because it’s a refusal to love those
who went before us
a little bit too early
They just went
without our permission
and they stole away
quietly
Grief is no thief
it just buries you
Greed is a thief!
Dear Thieves Schlee & Co,
I worked at Pret A Manger for almost 10 years 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 starve and 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 an article in the Scottish Left Review.
Thank you for reading/listening.
