DW What we need to remember Bart, it is about moving forward which is where we need to focus, we need to look at the future and how do we make this better. You have an opportunity right now with new eyes and new blood in the team, you could build relationships there, it could be a totally different environment. Susanna as you know has been working on some of the issues that have been raised in the investigation,
she will be addressing things if she feels they need addressing, she will do that as its part of her development. I need to know you are open to working to move forward
BVT I got sick because I don’t see the solution, if I could see a solution I wouldn’t have been sick
DW But we have to try and find a solution
DW To be fair, you have only had a problem with Susanna the last couple of months
BVT But before it was all the other rubbish, it’s an ongoing issue from the very beginning. It’s a continuation of bullying, all my complaints for 10 months and ongoing
DW Your original complaints about bullying were raised to Susanna and Samira?
BVT Yes
DW Anything done?
BVT No – they said its all assumptions and perceptions
BVT When I raised it, she said if you don’t like it here is the door
DW She actually said that to you, those exact words?
BVT Yes, with the exact hand movements
EH Is that Susanna or Samira?
BVT Samira with the hand movement and everything
DW Out of interest, do you perceive that you have ever done anything to upset or annoy another colleague?
BVT The story I have to hear about why they don’t like me is if I was still in the training part of the job, the first two months, if they explained me something I constantly went to manager or team leader to double check, they felt insulted by it. I asked, I said if what you say isn’t what I learnt on the training then I asked for a second opinion, Yousai said that and spread it all over the team. I asked him, man to man, that allegation, how many times has that happened? 3-4 times over the 2 months I worked here, that means once every two weeks I ask for a second opinion, is it worth making a fuss about
DW What was his response?
BVT He (Yousri) said “oh really, only once every two weeks”, so I asked him why this has been kept going and going then? he had no reply on that question. That’s what I have
