Free advertising for Schlee and Metcalfe as mainstream media still don’t give a toss. 😉
They will now!
Clive Schlee, Pret, YOU had the “power”, the means, the finances, the man-power, the connections, the Pret Foundation Trust …
repeat: the PRET FOUNDATION TRUST to help me as a long-time staff.
You chose to not just NOT support me, but to come after me to get rid of me.
I worked successfully as a team leader for shop after shop. I was AS brainwashed by your bullsh!t as every good person is.
It takes narcissistic entitled cowards like Clive Schlee, Julian Metcalfe, Pano Christou etc. to puke on hard-working people who just want to live, pay their bills and go home to have a life.
Once I became traumatically bereaved, YOU made the choice to do the opposite of helping me to cope and be able to work, and I will never, ever, ever have any respect for any of you. I have more respect for sh!t in anyone’s toilet than for any of you.
Mr. Schlee, you are brought back to be CEO again, by your entitled friend Metcalfe, this time in itsu (“restaurants”, whatever that means). You are brought back as “CEO” like a lost soft-spoken tyrant, who wants to return from exile. The joke’s on you.

I have sent this blog post and podcast to Clive Schlee, Julian Metcalfe, other itsu people, the press, to friends etc.
And I’m still enquiring about Emily who died by suicide in 2017.
Podcast episode about and to Clive Schlee and his entitled, arrogant, pretentious friend Julian Metcalfe, as well as Pano Christou who never cared: The rotten eggs of business.

I am PROUD that not only many customers, staff but also the press FINALLY knows how rotten Pret, itsu, you executives are.
But I also KNOW that the press will keep sucking up to you, but your legacy is that you never cared about customers’ safety and how you exploit staff.

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. Schlee has been appointed CEO of itsu in 2024 by Julian Metcalfe who gave him the CEO spot at Pret many years ago.
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.
An incomplete list on what other Pret staff say about Pret’s bullying environment: Caught in the Act Bullying at Pret and What shop MANAGERS & HQ staff say about Pret incl. CEO Pano Christou.
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 as well as mentioned by the BBC.
