BV If I hear 2 of my colleagues saying – If I call in sick Susana will be in trouble
There is a scheme to “fuck up” – I’ll do overtime today overhearing my colleagues – My word against theirs – The want to play games, I’ll do OT to cover
Other people heard it
SM when people call in sick, my job is to follow on it – Please don’t make assumption because you don’t know – I’m the manager
BV I agree
SM This needs to be stopped – After your hols the 1st thing you said is look other people
BV this was the 1st time you told me to stop and I stopped
SM I’m not always here we need to behave – I don’t want people to complain about this and that
BV I take on board and agree 100% Once I said to you privately in Dutch – I will follow the rule
SM I’m your manager – Come to me with your concerns – I will do my best to solve
BV My experience over some time – We’re all under pressure – Less experienced people – other have to learn. I fell a big amount of pressure on the job – I also see pressure with you  You’re stressed and you react stressed – eg. Poker case I had to check in the MOSS I was very focused and you came and I felt that you were annoyed that I was not giving you attention – It was unpleasant the way you spoke to me – If something is wrong between 2 people – a bit of an issue – I think you’re looking for a fight with me – better if you said “when you finish your chat let’s talk about this case” You were arguing about something but we were both agreeing on – Maybe you are too straight to the point.
I lost the chat in the end. I try to do my job, I explain to you but at that moment we wasted 10 min about something we agreed about. I am stressed, you are stressed. We have to be careful with each other. I’ll be scared to come and talk to you
SM you don’t need to be scared about me – I was not stressed, I came earlier that day –
Another concern I have is when I ask you to do something you do not follow- I told you check with Lizanne for example – I was trying to explain that but you were not listening to me – as said, I’ll take your feedback on board – There is no fight – I’m focused on my work of course I have other things to work on but if I tell you to do something for your own benefit
BV If I feel at a certain moment – only 1 break, on my own for 4 hour – I worked on calibration project – If you sit there and I tell you let me switch the chat and you didn’t want. I’m focusing on my chats and I have to listen to you- If I sit alone for 4hours, I can’t
