Danielle Wood

233. On 22nd April 2018 at 20h42, on that same Sunday evening, Danielle Wood replied (CC to Emma Horwood) to my email with my holiday request for 8th till 15th May 2018. She wrote that my team leader Susana Martin could only accomodate 10th till 15th May 2018. This was absolutely ridiculous as my flight to Belgium was booked for 9th May 2018 very early in the morning (departure at 7h30). Having to rebook flights to Brussels from Malaga Airport in the tourist high season was almost impossible as all flights were fully booked and even if possible it would have been at a ridiculously high cost. This meant in reality that the only option left was to cancel my holiday and as such not be able to renew my Belgian passport. Susana Martin's earlier verbal agreement with the requested holiday period, before I booked my flights six months earlier, was not even mentioned. This was so identical to the stories I had heard from several colleagues about Susana Martin sabotaging their holiday requests if she had an issue with that person. I knew that some of my team members had brought that up during the interviews with HR. What shocked me most of all was that HR had contacted Susana Martin, against whom they were supposedly doing an investigation for bullying me. Susana Martin was clearly abusing her position to cause me problems and extra hardship as revenge for my full blast complaint that HR had forwarded to her. Still HR saw no problem in allowing Susana Martin to make decisions about me and take control of important parts of my professional life and the influences those had on my private life. I had already pointed out Susana Martin's vengeful and vindictive nature to HR and so had others from the team in the past on several occasions. This again showed me that HR could well not take my complaints serious at all and just kept fobbing me off. This further added to my distress and I expressed that in my reply to Danielle Wood's email, pointing out again that I had already been bullied by Susana Martin.

234. The email from Danielle Wood (CC Emma Horwood):
I had confirmation that Susana can accommodate 10th to 15th May.
