and never had a prolonged use of non-business related time at work. The champion was Yousri Amrani who watched for instance whole boxing and football matches on his computer screen but he was never told off for it. I often had the impression that Susana Martin was scared of Yousri Amrani or felt intimidated by him and did not have the courage to tell him to stop. Susana Martin's lack of management skills made that the team was quite dysfunctional. The mean and spiteful behaviour of the Camp Two guys went entirely unpunished and that didn't help the atmosphere in the team. It was pretty obvious that Samira Mouhayar as department manager closed her eyes for the bullying Susana Martin was victim to in the hope that the problem would go away one day. Samira Mouhayar was always hiding in her office and it was rare to see her on the floor. I had heard from colleagues in the other language teams that Samira Mouhayar didn't like constructive criticism and she was in general disliked by most people in her department. 20. After the first two or three weeks, the bad atmosphere in the team had become constant. It was uncommon to have a normal day at work when the Camp Two members were present. Luckily I found a lot of solace in my voluntary work in the Nature Reserve and I was able to clear my mind of the negativity at work. Due to the bad working conditions I actually spent much more time at my voluntary work than ever before. After five or six weeks, it was quite normal that before or after my shift I would spend three or four hours doing hard physical labour in the Nature Reserve. This was therapeutic and it helped me a lot to overcome the constant struggles between team members at work. By then I had come to the conclusion that Stef van Veen, Dennis Dorland and I, the three older and more mature guys, were brought in by the management to try to break up Camp Two. I was pretty sure that Yousri Amrani, Sabir Nouri, Jose Luis Aznar and Hamid Ringelberg knew that and that their hostility most probably originated from there. I also continued to suspect that Jose Luis Aznar saw me as a probable threat to his doomed ambition to become the new Dutch/Flemish team leader as my monthly evaluations were very good. I had by then noticed that being a team leader in the customer service department was kind of an end station in a career at GVC. Many team leaders got stuck in their jobs for many years without any further chances of promotion. I decided in that very early stage already that becoming a team leader in the customer service department was not one of the suitable career options for me. |
