Pret A Manger – Lessons not Learned

A Smoked Salmon Artisan Baguette that contains Sesame from which Natasha Ednan-Laperouse died of with the wrong label of a VEGGIE Avo & Herb Wrap…

One of the responses to this I made:

When profit counts over lives, seen repeatedly in the Pret Staff Complaints collected from various Employment Review sites, YouTube, Twitter etc. as well as my experience as a Team Leader …

• Lack of training
• Over-stressed staff
• Bullying and incapable managers
• Cutting labour to maximize profit overworking, frustrating and exhausting staff
• Many non-British workers who don’t speak / read English well, misplacing products with wrong labels
• Slave-like environment (substantial list on “slavery” complaints)
• Downward shaming and blaming where managers don’t take responsibility but blame overworked staff
• Staff lose interest to care as they are being mistreated
• Pret senior leadership ignoring repeated warnings
• etc. etc. etc.

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. I declined 4 settlement offers if I am silent about my ordeal. But I rather starve and 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.
I tell my story for the first time verbally in below audio player interview on a podcast by The Adam Paradox, and wrote an article in the Scottish Left Review.
Thank you for reading/listening.
