How were you threatened?

One threatened to tell my current boss that I had been a bad, disruptive employee, even though he admitted that he knew that this was untrue. So he basically threatened to try and get me fired from my job because I reviewed my experience working at his company. Other one threatened to sue me because I had signed a non-disparagement agreement after a layoff.

Wow, that is incredible shittyness.

Stefano Pessina. One of the most impressive European entrepreneurs. And he's CEO because the pre-existing management, who got them into this mess, were terrible .

Out of interest, what is it that you do in your life that you're informed about such unusual knowledge?

Professionally I'm a data scientist, but vocationally I'm interested in how the world works, and "real industry" is an important part of that.

Also, I'm British, and the Alliance Boots deal was big news.
