I checked my website statistic today, and see that someone tried to see if I commit plagiarism. Nopes, I link to every source and write everything by myself. I don’t even use AI or chat GTPTBRTGDPR … or whatever it’s called.
Good luck, though. Work harder.
If you want to come after me, you have to find some solid thing to retaliate, Pret A Manger and/or die-hard Pret fan. ๐
Maybe this new aim to shut me down came after my last “Pret CEO Pani Christou” post. Pano Christou needs to go if Pret can in any way be “safed” from further bad reprutation. He might be the last sacred cow left in Pret.
My work is spread across the Internet in many different forms, and backed up threefold. Do with it what you want, “retaliator”.

I worked at Pret A Manger and survived systemic workplace bullying during bereavement that involved HR, the top leadership, HQ and even the now โretiredโ 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 โMy Ordeal with Pret A Mangerโ. 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.

Pret’s bogus slogan, “Doing the right thing naturally it’s what makes Pret, Pret” now removed after customer deaths became public. I always complained about this slogan with Pret.
And the audacity “Doing the right thing” (It’s what makes Pret, Pret) The self-indulgence and delusion of Pret knows no bounds!

HR aka “people team” slogan removed now. Bullying staff, targetting bereaved employees seems to be Pret’s definition of “doing the right thing naturally”. After Pret were banned in 2018 from advertising their food too be natural and the customer deaths becoming public, they were forced to scrap this bullsh!t slogan. The louder a big company shouts about rubbish like this, the closer you need to look, just scratch the surface and their facade starts cracking fast.

I came across a YouTube video of someone who calls out large corporations. I remember texting with someone on social media a few months ago, which might have been this person and have to find the screenshot.
I put the video here and underneath my additions as podcast episode on some corrections and further info, confirming what this channel says. I’m grateful they mentioned my blog and read a lot of the issues I present regarding Pret.
UPDATE: 05.11.2025
The YouTube person changed the title from “Don’t Eat at Pret A Manger Until You Watch This” to “Why Pret A Manger is Actually Dying” which is much better, less click-baity, more meaning for solid reporting.
.
I understand his AI generated voice might come across too dramatic for some, but I can absolutely back this up and love the wording he uses. Video underneath screenshots.

Podcast version of his full audio with my addition and minor corrections. I wish this channel knew about the ยฃ800,000 Pret were fined in 2023 bu Westminster Council after a staff survied an over 2.5 hour ordeal in a walk-in freezer. It would have further shown how Pret don’t care about safety, including staff safety. The channel knows now.
Plus the “P.S.” I mentioned if I’d remember something else. I added a bit about Sarah Fergusan, Jeffrey Epstein, Julian Metcalfe, the Endnan-Laperouse family etc.

Links of what I mention in above audio:
The Private Equity Trap Pret A Manger Jumped Into – 3rd Value Loss and ยฃ500+ million in Debt:
Exposรฉ on net-worth ยฃ215 million itsu founder & Pret A Manger RE-founder Julian Metcalfe, his love for zero hour contracts & robots, connection to the Royal family, a questionable connection, what staff say about him, how suddenly all the negative reviews about him on Glassdoor disappeared after i sent it to him, why some Asian people don’t like him & how I chased him off Twitter/X:
And for my annual end of year “Pret A Manger Year in Review” I did 2025 mid December. Until something crazy happens in the last 2 weeks of December 2025, I just put this up now. There is much more, but I wanted to keep it at under 15 minutes. Apologies for the stretched videos, I don’t yet know how to fix it. This is just more for reference and a fun way to call Pret out:
