Before you contact me:
- Please LEAVE Pret! There are better jobs out there where you will be treated better! Many companies are desperate for staff now. You have the POWER to demand better treatment and pay. Life is too short!
. - If you can’t leave Pret, JOIN A UNION (but be aware Unions are “businesses” too and will NOT take the initiative until workers do). Don’t stagnate and accept the bullcrap that “this is in all low paid companies”, that doesn’t matter, STOP accepting bad treatment and bad pay while the CEO is getting richer.
. - If the offense is serious enough for court, especially when it comes to discrimination, file a Tribunal claim if you have funds for legal aid after you raised a grievance AND an appeal. Pret HR do NOT care or will just minimize your experience to get you off their backs and protect the company.
. - If you don’t want to join a union and/or can’t afford legal aid, contact the press that often have huge impact. I recommend two journalists: AmySharpeJournalist@gmail.com who did the “dirty work” and went undercover into Pret after I urged her to, and/or Mike.Powell@bbc.co.uk who, after I contacted the BBC when he was about to report, mentioned my blog.

I have PTSD (diagnosed) and still just only survive from everything that happened, losing my whole family now and what Pret did to me incl. the horrific gaslighting via Lila Warren, who should get stripped off all her psychology licenses. I have horrible trauma episodes that lead to horrible emailing and want to stay away from emailing as much as possible.
Please refer to this podcast episode I did on PTSD for just a glimpse of the complications I go through and try to overcome. I cannot deal with any more Pret horror stories triggering me until Pret staff are ready or willing to stand up! I am still just surviving. I’m sorry for all bad emails.
