explained in my email and during the face to face chats with Danielle Wood and others in HR during my sick leave. I definitely did not want to return to the toxic atmosphere in my work environment so without doubt took the option to have the meeting that same day. I definitely wanted to meet with HR before I had to return to work the following day. I feared that returning to Susana Martin's team without any guarantees would make me collapse again, leading to further sick leave and, I feared, most probably the end of my employment with GVC.

202. The email from Danielle Wood:
Bart, as you probably saw I have been on leave.
I have looked at my diary today and tomorrow and the only slots I have to hold a meeting with you is either 4.00pm today or 4.00pm tomorrow. When we meet I will look at the return to work and also next steps in relation to your email below. I wanted to give you the choice as to what works best for you.
If you choose tomorrow then I will let Susanna know to hold off doing the return to work interview with you.
Let me know what your preference is.
Danielle Wood


203. My reply to Danielle Wood:
Hi Danielle,
I think the best option is to do the meeting today at 4pm. As such everything can be cleared out before I go back to work tomorrow what will prevent further escalations.
Please confirm the date/time.
Bart

The reason for the meeting was described as: “Return to work, sickness, accusation of bullying". During this meeting I
