Adapted/Changed text from Pete Seeger’s “Where have all the flowers gone”
So, what’s happening in the homeless house, Pret?
One guy advertised for it with Nicki Fisher.
Where are they now? What’s with the house of the Rising Stars?!
Or was it one of those quick fixes and cover-ups? JAB took over, Clive Schlee and Nicki Fisher skipped out.
Remember this blog entry, Pret, Mr. Schlee, Pano Christou?
Nicki Fisher went from the brutal city place to the rural country place, in the hopes to help some burnt out people? Really?
Isn’t it rather that she burnt out? JAB knocked at the door, and those of you from the old guard called it a day, hey!
What’s happening in the House for the Homeless?
Now there’s a proper smile!
On 15. June 2019 I replied to above Tweet, mentioning that Clive Schlee is already gone. I didn’t know at the time that he would “retire”. On 01. July 2019 I tweeted to the press about Clive Schlee’s clumsiness regarding his retirement. But on the 15th June I didn’t know about his retirement. He was very quiet for weeks, and knowing him I had a hunch that he’d sneak out of Pret, just like Nicki Fisher did. But Schlee remains in the background as a non-executive Director, still pulling the strings.
I write about Clive Schlee’s clumsiness and my Tweet to the press regarding his “retirement”: >>> Foot-in-Mouth Disease.

Who cares to investigate staff deaths, in particular suicides?
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 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 two articles in the Scottish Left Review: 1. “Late Night Girl’s” Story with Pret and 2. Pushing Back Against Pret.
Thank you for reading/listening.
