very loud, everyone heard. In all those 9 months I worked with him, I never
RM Why do you think he said that? Any idea?
BV If I see someone’s face I don’t like I don’t have to spend time with that guy or sleep with that guy, I don’t know anything about that man, don’t know his hobbies or if he has a girlfriend
RM And all of a sudden he jumped up like that
BV Yes.
BV And that’s why when Susanna started to go for me, I broke down, I simply broke down and collapsed. It’s a continuation of things for 11 months
RM I’m trying to focus on Susanna, up to January you said she was too soft with you and others, after 31st she became strict
BV It’s not about strict, it’s about looking for problems where there are not problems. Asking me why I’m in emails? Because that’s my job to do that
RM Let me tell you two things, and let’s start with the strategy around it. I would like everyone in CS to get promoted, for me one of the good practices of CS is for people to do their time there and move to VIP or promotion, only recently 6 or 7 people went to VIP as I’m sure you know, Samira knows that and I don’t want you to feel anybody is trying to stop you, certainly nobody in CS will ever stop you. If I had you coming from CS coming to marketing, you bring all that experience, if you are a good ambassador of CS you bring that into the new role. I would like you to assure you, if a team would like you to start and have the right skill set; you have my blessing for sure, that’s one. On Susanna, there was a reason the meeting took place in Jan, I’m assuming you and other people weren’t happy with how the team was run, and what I hear is the team asked for clear guidelines about how the team moves forward, give clear guidelines, treat everyone the same, be firmer and the implementation of this feedback means Susanna now seems to be on top of things, checking the details. From what you are saying, I would not say I’m happy as it might cause you to feel you are under pressure, but from what I see everyone to be treated same way, everything checked in the same way, as you and everyone said she was too soft, and now you, alike others are feeling the pressure of Susana stepping up. This is coincidental to you applying for another role. As long as I’m running this CS, I would like everyone to progress, I would like everyone treat the same way, she is your team leader, if she tells you to do this or do that, that’s the way it is, you don’t need to like that, my boss tells me what to do and I don’t challenge that, it’s the way it is. If she says something, as long as it’s nots against any regulation, that’s the decision and should be
