probably return or get worse if I was sent back there. I felt very depressed with this whole situation.

213. That same day 13th April 2018 I replied to Danielle Wood's email from home. I stated that I was expected to go back to work, and back to the bullies, without an investigation being started or temporary solutions in place to prevent further issues. I clearly communicated that I was very upset at having to go back to the bullying without a solution. To make sure that I was tremendously serious about this endless bullying problem, I clearly stated my intentions to take the whole saga to court, if necessary. I also indicated the option of suspension with full pay as I did not want to lose or give up any more of my annual leave.

214. My email to Danielle Wood:
Hi Danielle,
Thanks for the update. This version of the minutes of the meeting now indeed reflects correctly what was said during our meeting on Monday.
I am obviously disappointed that no progress has been made in your investigation. I understand though that that is not your fault and I appreciate your efforts. Please remember that I volunteered to take 4 days of annual leave and that during these days the weather has been terrible, so no holiday feelings were enjoyed by me.
What I find shocking though is that apparently the company's Bullying at Work Policy now expects me to go back to work, back to the bullies, without any solution of the ongoing problems. This means going back to Yousri and Jose Luis and also back to Susana and Samira. We have to add to this Martijn now who might be upset that I denounced his lover Susana. In no way will I be protected from more and potentially even worse bullying. That is shocking and unacceptable.

Over the last 11 months I have shown an extreme amount of goodwill to sort this out but it looks more and more like I will have to take this whole saga to court. A decision I will not hesitate to make and I have already thought through. It shows my goodwill again that I haven't done so yet.
I still see you as a person of confidence and understand your difficult position. It cannot be
