Jim Switzer On Bad Vegan

Jim Switzer had been working as an online marketing specialist for Coalmarch Productions for a little over three years when he got hired as the operations manager at Pure Food and Wine in June 2010.

At this point, the restaurant was being run by Sarma and she seemed very passionate about taking the restaurant to new heights. Then, towards the end of 2011, Sarma began dating Anthony Strangis, who was known to everyone else as Shane Fox.

On Bad Vegan, Jim tells that Anthony was introduced to him as a school friend of Sarma. He goes on to reveal that, at the time, the company was doing well, with about $7 million of gross sales per year before things took a turn for the worse.

In 2014, Jim learned that $90 thousand of the restaurant’s funds were transferred somewhere in New Hampshire, and Anthony was living there at the time. Jim shared at this point, Anthony would come by and act like he was the boss when Sarma was away.

So one day, Jim confronted Sarma with the money transfer, saying that he felt like she was stealing from the employees. He was finding it difficult to make payroll or pay bills. Meanwhile, Sarma encounters Jim that she could do whatever she pleased with the money. Following the exchange, Jim was fired from the job in April 2014.

Bad Vegan also tells its viewers that Jim’s replacement was another employee who was not acquainted with accounting. According to this person, Anthony had asked him to bring the restaurant’s cash receipts to a bank several times in 2014.

So in this way, while Jim moved on to work for a consulting company, Sarma’s diner closed down temporarily in 2014.
