Do you hear the Medics sing?
Singing the songs of years of pain?

It’s the song of a profession
who’ve been screwed and screwed again

Though we’ve got no PPE
and some of us may succumb

We’re the ones who go to work
when Corona comes

We haven’t had a pay rise since 1953
and they screwed up all our pensions
and then taxed us to our knees

They made all the Juniors sign up
for working for free

Do you hear the Medics sing?
Singing the songs of years of pain?
It’s the sound of a Profession
who’s been screwed and screwed again

Though we’ve got no PPE
and some of us may succumb
we’re the ones who go to work
when Corona comes

The traitors from the CQC
have crawled back to the pit
Your GMC re-registered
but it’s years since you quit

It turns out appraisals
is really a pile of shit

Do you hear the Medics sing?
Singing the songs of years of pain?
It’s the sound of a Profession
who’s been screwed and screwed again

Though we’ve got no PPE
and some of us may succumb
we’re the ones who go to work
when Corona comes

1. Plea to NHS staff & all who receive freebies & donations from Pret!

Know what Pret tried to do to their OWN staff by cutting pay while distracting from it with freebies to NHS staff & others. Pret reverted for now after a public outcry and bad press!

2. Pret opened kitchen again during furlough to continue their PR stunt giving to NHS workers and homeless people, having staff work in kitchens. Pret also does this to have staff ready in place when the government gives the green light for businesses to open.

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.
An incomplete list on what other Pret staff say about Pret’s bullying environment: Caught in the Act Bullying at Pret.
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.
