information that they kept to themselves and did not share with the rest of the team. I did not report this situation to the upper management as I did not want to be seen as a troublemaker as that could negatively affect my future career prospects. The Camp Two guys also enjoyed going around to the other language teams in the department to “inform” them about the mistakes I was making according to them. Many of my “mistakes” were invented by them or misrepresentations by them of things I had done correctly. They seemed to do that to gain popularity and initially I did not give it much thought but after some time I started to worry me that people in my department might start to believe that I was not doing my job properly. Interestingly enough I was never told off by my team leader Susana Martin for the things that I had “done wrong” according to the Camp Two members and the expert Martijn van der Vechte kept advising me to continue working as I was doing.

19. It became more obvious over time that Sabir Nouri, Yousri Amrani, Hamid Ringelberg and Jose Luis Aznar always ganged up at work. They also spent a lot of time together socially. It became clear that they tried to undermine team leader Susana Martin who showed to be a very weak and ineffectual leader and was not able to cope with her responsibilities. Susana Martin did not get a lot of support from her fellow team leaders either who even publicly claimed that she lacked both the technical knowledge of the products and was not very proficient with the different softwares. For those she relied heavily on Martijn van der Vechte who for example also helped her with the monthly evaluations of each team member. I personally did not mind that as Martijn van der Vechte knew his stuff but the Camp Two guys hated it that someone on the same level as themselves made evaluations about their work, catching out their mistakes, etc. The monthly evaluations were intended to help us to improve the quality of our work but were used as well to see if you qualified for the yearly ten percent bonus. The Camp Two members were also very upset that Martijn van der Vechte got more and longer breaks during which he had lunch with his girlfriend, team leader Susana Martin, etc. The Camp Two guys said they had complained about it to Samira Mouhayar, the department manager. It was true that Martijn van der Vechte got a preferential treatment from his girlfriend Susana Martin but I never had an issue with that as it did not affect me personally. Everyone in the team used the frequent team leader absences to watch videos, read news websites, etc. I limited myself to check for Facebook messages now and then
