Page 2060 G – 2062 F: Stef van Veen alleges that I kept records on employees, something he never brought up before. This was the first question asked by Mr Martinez, so it clearly was a ploy to upset me. I have never kept any records on colleagues and neither was any evidence presented. Mr van Veen's “memories” are crystal clear on this, although he forgot many other important things from the same period of time. No other witness mentioned that I kept files on people. Mr van Veen claims that he saw a folder on my desktop, but he never saw what was in this folder. Then he claims that in this folder, he saw several other folders, one which had his name on it. His story is impossible. Unfortunately, the Chairman picked this up in his Judgement. In page 2066 E – 2069 G: I cross-examine Mr van Veen about keeping files, denying that I had even kept such a record. He cannot bring up any proof of his statement.
Page 2062 F – 2064 B: Stef van Veen had been in a clinic in Marbella for depression and anxiety. At his return to work, the company requested that he met with a doctor appointed by the company to check if he was fit to return to work or not. I have never been offered a clinic or a check-up by a doctor by the Respondent.
Page 2069 F – 2072 G: Stef van Veen denies that he saw any bullying and goes out of his way to call it arguments and disagreements. He did see some incidents though which could be qualified as bullying.
Page 2078 A – 2089 H: Stef van Veen brings up that Customer Service (CS) was chaotic, but in other gaming companies CS is chaotic too. Mr van Veen did not know any of the other companies' CS but then said that he worked in CS before, which is a lie: Mr van Veen states that he hated the job of CS, so why did he find himself another hated job in CS with the Respondent? This is implausible. He brings up the high turnover of personnel in our team, higher than in other CS teams. He states that most team members did not feel valued by Susana Martin. He confirms that there were two camps in the team and that he, Dennis Dorland and I tried to stay out of the battles between the two Camps, that this was mature behaviour. As he referred to childish behaviour, that must then refer to Camp 2. About his comment “I'm stuck in my own way”, he said that this means that I followed the MOSS guidelines, which could have brought me in conflict with Susana Martin's subjectiveness. Mr van Veen confirms that the tensions were there during the eight months that he was in the team. He confirms that he and Dennis Dorland never had problems with me. He confirms that Susana Martin badmouthed team members behind their back.
Page 2094 A – H: Stef van Veen said that in the “chaos meeting” from 30th January 2015, Hamid Ringelberg started shouting and that there was no need for that. He describes my facial expression as a certain grin “What is this?”, which could be nerves or being surprised.
Page 2095 A – 2096 B: Stef van Veen states that Jose Luis Aznar could be angry and Yousri Amrani was temperamental, passionate, opinionated, making gestures with his arms.
Page 2096 C – G: About monthly evaluations by Susana Martin, Stef van Veen states that Ms Martin corrected his English language although there was nothing wrong with it and she did not want to change her mind about it. This shows Ms Martin's stubbornness by pressing team members to do things in the wrong way.
Page 2103 G – 2104 B: Stef van Veen remembers that Jose Luis Aznar was complaining about Dennis Dorland's work quality.
Page 2104 B – F: Stef van Veen thinks that he had more of a social interaction with Hamid Ringelberg than I did.
Page 2110 C – H: Stef van Veen claimed that he had never seen me “alarmed, humiliated or distressed” at work but he did see me “definitely annoyed on many occasions”. Mr van Veen then concludes that for him “alarmed” and “annoyed” are the same. This witness is here caught out of using euphemisms, unfortunately the Chairman did not mention this in his Judgement although he gave this witness a very high credibility.
