Human Resources CC Personnel File 251. In this letter HR formally confirmed the meeting for the next morning with Roni Maman, vice-president, that was already discussed in earlier emails. This invitation letter immediately rang several alarm bells in my mind as there were several points that sounded wrong. The letter mentioned: "You have the right to be accompanied at the meeting by a work colleague or Employee Representative. Please be aware no other form of representation is permitted and it is your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements. If you wish to be accompanied, please contact me by e-mail to confirm in writing by 23rd April 2018 by 5pm to advise me of the name of the person so that any necessary arrangements can be made." I compared this statement to the Bullying at Work Act 2014 that clearly stated "... must allow the complainant to be represented by a representative of his choice at all stages" what was in clear contradiction with the letter from HR.

This did not look like a fair set up at all. On 20th April 2018, three days earlier, I had received the email from Danielle Wood (CC to Emma Horwood) to inform me that I was forbidden to use company email and skype to contact colleagues, what was clearly intentional sabotage specifically for this meeting.

I was also convinced that none of my colleagues would be eager to accompany me anyway as they all knew it could jeopardise their future within the company. 252. On 23rd April 2018 Stef van Veen, ex-Dutch/Flemish team member who went to the Traders Department, sent me an email asking if I was still alive. In fact the email just had the company footer and only the subject wrote: “leef je nog bartus?”, translated: “are you still alive, Bart?”. I forwarded this to HR to confirm that I would not reply on this email, as requested in Danielle Wood's email from 20th April 2018. I also raised the question why Stef van Veen was not invited at the "Dutch/Belgian team party". Stef van Veen left the |
