on and on and on and there was no end in sight.

171. Samira Mouhayar's email:
Hello Bart,
It has been a busy day and I only read your email now. I was in meetings all afternoon. Since you left and didn’t start your shift, we’ll speak tomorrow.
You can also confirm tomorrow the reason of sickness since you didn’t communicate it to the shift leader.
Samira Mouhayar


172. The following day 13th March 2018 I went to see the emergency doctor, Dr Fitzpatrick. I had never met him before, I just asked for the first available doctor at the Gibraltar Health Authority in the ICC Primary Care Centre. I explained the bullying problems at work and the lack of action against it by management and HR. Dr Fitzpatrick signed me off sick for "stress related anxiety" until 20th March 2018. He requested me to come back at that date for a follow up check. The symptoms I had were: shaking hands, lack of appetite, my heart beating faster than usual, I was constantly thinking of the bullying at work, distress about the work situation and that I might lose my job, trouble concentrating, forgetting in the middle of a sentence what I was talking about, constantly feeling tired but when I went to bed I was unable to fall asleep, when I finally slept I woke up several times at night soaking wet from sweat although the nights were cold, I had nightmares for example my team leader scratching my face with her nails. I kept thinking that if I would lose my job at the age of forty-seven it would be the end of my life. I could not understand that after several emails over the last few months to my management and HR mentioning that the situation was detrimental to my health, still nothing had been done to prevent my mental breakdown. The foreseeability of mental injury must have been terribly clear to these people, especially after it had already happened to Dennis Dorland not so long ago. So many emails about bullying mentioning the facts and witnesses must have made clear to these people that there was indeed a real problem that could cause my mental collapse. And still nothing was done. How could I ever regain trust and confidence in such a management and HR department?
