and Sunday from 8pm till 12pm during the Melon Madness promo disaster. I was awarded £50 of Morrisons vouchers by Samira as I was the ONLY CS employee out of about 70 people who volunteered to do overtime to help sort it out, and that was to help the English team, not even my own team. Where Susana's recent continuous claim that I am not flexible comes from is entirely unclear to me and her claim is definitely unfounded, still she keeps carrying on with it. I am by the way known to my team colleagues as the guy who made it very well known that as I have no children or other people immediately depending on me, I am very willing to take over any difficult shifts from colleagues with children, sick family etc. I have been praised by Susana for this attitude in older evaluations but not anymore, although my willingness is still exactly the same. This is not honest, not correct and detrimental for the team's morale who have all been grateful for my proven efforts in this field. Susana's unpredictable change of mind is inexplicable and one of the main demotivating false accusations I ever had to experience in my life. I have followed up on that management decision immediately though and didn't report any further incidents that could be negative for the company, our customers and share holders.
A point that in Samira's minutes is entirely lost although I pointed it out in depth and repeated it in detail so some time was spent on discussing it, is the rule to use different date formats for Belgian and Dutch customers in written communication. I will add the details of what I said here now. A few months ago Susana came up with a rule for me that dates for the Dutch had to be written as dd-mm-yyyy (dashes) and for the Belgians as dd.mm.yyyy (dots) although they are both written in the same language, Dutch. There is no rule, regulation or law in the Dutch language about dates with dashes or dots so Susana's requirement has no foundation at all. Even stranger: other team members of the Dutch/Belgian team were and are NOT required to use these different date formats and only to use the dots, as is the standard for CS in the company. Although the different date formats are in my opinion ridiculous I immediately started working according to that rule and as such this is one of my main defences that I DO respect management decisions and I am NOT stubborn even when I find the decision unreasonable, unfair, laughable or stupid. I was actually scored down on an evaluation by Susana when I made a mistake against the dots/dashes rule. A rule for me but not other team members who were NOT scored down for doing exactly the same as me. This is terribly unfair, biased, ridiculous and the fact that Samira hasn't mentioned it in her notes proves that there is something wrong here that had to be hidden to protect Susana. Apparently it doesn't matter that it makes me look bad as my defence is NOT in the minutes, just the unjustifiable attacks by
