On a cold Winter day in a court of law:
.
BARRISTER: Why didn’t you scream? Why didn’t you push him off?
VICTIM: I was taken off-guard on a public stage, I was perplex, I was in shock! I didn’t know what to do.
.
BARRISTER: Why didn’t you report the assault to police later?
VICTIM: Everyone laughed, they made it seem normal. What was I supposed to tell police?
.
VICTIM – To those enabling: WHY didn’t you do/say anything? Why did you laugh? Why did you remain silent?

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.
