3. Purpose of the Blog
AfterShift is a personal blog documenting legal reflections and lived experience in the context of labor, legal inertia, and social structure. It is neither a company nor a journalistic entity. Its tone is personal, reflective, and evolving.
4. Legal Status
The blog is managed by an individual based in Sweden and follows Swedish legal jurisdiction. Any disputes shall be handled by the courts of Malmö.
5. Editorial Responsibility
The blog is authored by Patrice Kenmoé. All content is self-published. Names and details may be anonymized to ensure privacy and legal safety.
6. Disclaimer
- This blog represents personal experience and analysis. It is not intended to target individuals or damage reputations. The aim is to document systemic issues and provide structured, respectful commentary. Content is subject to frequent updates as the platform evolves.
- In narrative sections of the blog, certain personal names may be altered to protect the identity of individuals. These changes are made in good faith and aim to balance narrative clarity with respect for privacy. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, outside of documented facts, is coincidental.
7. Commenting & Feedback
- The AfterShift blog includes a comment system (currently planned via Giscus, a lightweight tool built on GitHub Discussions).
- Giscus requires a GitHub account to participate in discussions. This choice was made for fast deployment and is not intended to restrict participation.
- Users who cannot or do not wish to use GitHub may contact us via email or participate through other platforms (e.g., OB1 Circles).
- As the platform evolves, comments may migrate to alternative tools (e.g., Commento or embedded forms), provided privacy and legal compliance are maintained.
- All significant changes will be clearly communicated via updated terms or page footers.
8. Intellectual Property
All texts, visuals, and documents are original creations and property of Patrice Kenmoé unless otherwise stated. No reproduction is permitted without written consent.
9. Privacy & Data
No personal data is collected without consent. Matomo Analytics may be used in full compliance with GDPR regulations. No cookies or identifiers are used to track individuals.
10. Evolution & Versioning
This blog is updated daily and may evolve significantly over time. Legal notices and key policy documents are versioned and may change regularly. Changes will be documented and dated.
11. Cross-site Relationship
AfterShift is independent but connected to OB1.se (a separate community platform). Both are maintained by the same author but serve different purposes. Legal responsibilities are clearly separated.
12. PDF Fingerprinting & Traceability
Each access-restricted document is uniquely fingerprinted prior to delivery. This process does not affect readability or file structure but embeds a non-visible identifier to help trace unauthorized redistribution.
Fingerprinting serves both to discourage leaks and to identify the origin of any unauthorized reproduction, without storing personal information in the file.
13. Access Control and Strategic Extract Requests
Access to certain high-sensitivity materials—such as those contained within the Strategic Extract—is restricted and subject to manual review. Requests may be denied at the author's discretion.
In order to protect both the integrity of the archive and the identity of contributors, any request to access these documents requires identifiable contact details.
These details (such as name, email address, professional affiliation, or equivalent) are logged for the sole purpose of traceability and will never be shared, sold, or publicly disclosed. This approach is designed to prevent abuse, reduce data diffusion, and preserve the site’s independence.
If a request is declined, a brief notification may be sent to the requester explaining the reason.
Your submission constitutes acceptance of this protocol. The database of access requests is stored securely and used exclusively to assess access legitimacy.
Defense FAQ
1. What is the legal nature of this site?
This site is a civic archive authored by an individual residing in Sweden. It documents first-hand labor experiences, backed by personal and official records. It is non-commercial, non-affiliated, and protected under Swedish and European legal frameworks (freedom of expression, right to document, public interest).
2. Are personal names or companies exposed?
Names are mentioned only when they are part of:- Public registries (e.g., Bolagsverket, Skatteverket)
- Legally documented employer roles or decision-making positions
- Situations with direct operational or legal relevance to the grievance
3. Why is this public and not private?
Legal communication channels have been exhausted or met with silence, threats, or procedural evasion. Not all damage is litigable. Public documentation allows patterns to emerge, informs others in similar situations, and serves as a civil ledger of misconduct or procedural failure.
4. Is this defamatory?
No. Every element is:- Backed by documents, screenshots, or official filings
- Presented in a structured, cautious, and legally filtered tone
- Free from insult or distortion
5. What if you are mentioned?
You may:- Submit a factual correction or clarification
- Provide a verifiable rebuttal or timeline
- Request anonymization if proportionate and justified
6. Can this be cited or reused?
Yes. Provided that:- AfterShift.se is mentioned as the source
- No modification is made to the excerpts
- The context of citation respects proportionality and good faith
7. Is this politically or union-affiliated?
No. The initiative is personal and independent. Any external reuse by union or political actors is not coordinated or solicited.
8. Why are some materials access-restricted?
Some financial breakdowns, offshore documentation, or legal records are not published openly to preserve negotiation leverage, ensure editorial safety, or avoid premature exposure of sensitive data. These are accessible on a case-by-case basis through the Confidential Insight Access section, where requesters must identify themselves and explain their interest.
9. What happens if access is denied?
Requests that do not meet minimal verification criteria will receive a formal rejection notice. This includes vague, unverifiable, or pseudonymous identities.
The author reserves the right to deny access at their discretion, based on editorial and security considerations. Applicants are not added to any database, and rejected identities are not retained.

📄 April 2025 — Letter from Head Chef Henrik Ling
Sender: Henrik Kling, Head Chef at Quan / HSSC Event
AB
Recipient: AfterShift Editor (K.P.)
Date: April 17, 2025
Method: Attached PDF, sent via personal email, no
subject line
This letter was sent in response to an initial legal notice issued by the editor of this site in early April 2025. The notice related to delayed employer certificates, potential unlawful dismissal, and informal coercion following a trial contract termination.
Instead of receiving a reply from legal counsel or management, the company delegated the response to Henrik Kling, the head chef and senior figure in the kitchen brigade. The letter arrived as a simple PDF attachment, with no explanatory message or subject line. This form and channel of response were perceived as dismissive and non-serious, which prompted a second formal notice from the claimant — never opened by the company.
“It is reasonable to interpret this response not as an official legal stance, but rather as a delegated placeholder — written quickly between two shifts, perhaps with the assistance of a generative language model.”
– Editorial Note
The letter offers no legal rebuttal, acknowledges no facts, and closes with a vague offer of two weeks’ compensation — unsigned and without legal formatting.
