court over the bullying during the last 11 months.
The issue now of not wanting to give me the annual leave requested is a further proof of victimisation and a clear attempt to make me resign from the company. Can you please let me know what the company's "Bullying at Work Policy" is in this case as I can't find anything in the print from the intranet that Emma gave me?
I urge you to reconsider my annual leave request and take the necessary action to stop this continued bullying immediately as I feel my health problems coming back due to this unnecessary stress.
Thanks,
Bart


240. Danielle Wood replied to my email within fifteen minutes on 23rd April 2018 (CC to Emma Horwood) and she came up with some further excuses for the holiday refusal. Interestingly she mentioned that the new starter Kevin Goutier was on Poker training. Kieran Vandenhoeck had already completed his Poker training too, so I was the only one now left awaiting to finish my Poker training after I had been unable to complete it after being called out of the training. To cover for the chat and telephone opening hours from 12h00 till 20h00 it would have been sufficient to change Kieran Vandenhoeck's shift that was 16h00 till 24h00. Kieran Vandenhoeck had two children so I knew he would not have minded to change shift and be back home earlier to enjoy family life.

As you know you raised a formal grievance with us earlier this month. This process is in progress now. We heard your grievance on 9th April 2018, we have interviewed your line manager and you are now attending for the investigation meeting with you tomorrow. The
