The Stephen Colbert Questionnaire he NEVER asked me, but I will answer anyway.

Looking forward to Stephen Colbert’s answers on his last day like he promised.

Mettwurst mit Zwiebeln auf frischem Brötchen (a cheat of an open half “sandwich”). Kind of gross as an adult, but a favourite as a child, before I knew what I was eating.

First concert:
Can’t remember.

What is the scariest animal?
People.

Pass.

You get one song to listen to for the rest of your life: what is it?

Nimrod by Edward Elgar, not just because of the music, but because of the story behind the music.

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.

Please also see the MEDIA page for more on my work with the press.
