definitely don't fall under his VIP responsibility. On several occasions Susana asked me to do evalutions of my team colleagues' work for more complicated cases that she doesn't understand herself. In the same way Martijn has been checking some of my more complicated cases what makes it look like someone who is not my team leader (even from a totally different department) is doing my evaluations. This is creating unrest in the team. Martijn is still very protective re Susana and sometimes making bad comments when he thinks I am against her as team leader. This is not acceptable at all in a professional environment.
After all these experiences I can only conclude that in the 30 years that I work for companies, I have never found such a total lack of professionalism, covering up of mistakes, serious attitude problems and incompetence as I have to suffer in my present job. I have discussed this on several occasions with Samira who simply replied that if I didn't like it here, I could go, pointing at the door. This is another strong indication that she is covering up for Susana and partly explains the 100% loss of personnel in the last 2 years. Whatever proof or facts and figures I come up with, Samira dismisses them immediately as "assumptions and perceptions". This obviously does nothing to solve the problem and only makes it worse. Very nice to see all the motivating slogans in the HR office when the reality for me is exactly the opposite of those slogans...
My present situation at this moment is simply dramatic. Whatever way I decide, I will lose. If I go back to work after my sick leave, Susana's bullying will start again immediately as she now found out that she's getting away with it. This will lead to me becoming sick again and lose more income. If I leave the company myself then I will lose my right of unemployment benefits. Whatever way, I always lose. This is destroying the quality of my life entirely and e.g. leads to nightmares that are a result of my stress related anxiety.
The sadistic "return from sickness" procedure now will require me to meet Susana as team leader, the bully, to explain her that the cause of my sickness was her bullying. This is simply immoral and bad practice. I am actually scared to talk to Susana after all I had to go through as she will abuse her position again to manipulate me, blackmail me, try to present me as an unprofessional employee just to keep her own unprofessionalism out of the picture.
Potential solutions I see are my transfer to another team in CS or another department in the company. The loss of income I already suffered because of the company's total mismanagement should be compensated as a goodwill gesture, after all I have been working for weeks on this report during my sick leave. In no way can it be allowed that my
