257. Roni Maman did not see any urgency in having to look for a solution. Only after Jose Luis Aznar would have moved to VIP (on 1st May 2018, eight days later) Roni Maman would speak with Samira Mouhayar and VIP team leaders, before that no changes were planned. He repeated that towards the end of the meeting. Another show of sit and wait till the problem had gone away and more proof that Roni Maman had not been properly informed about the facts. I made it clear that I wanted to be happy at work and that the Camp Two trouble makers made that impossible. I believed that with Camp Two away, moved to another building, I would be able to deal with Susana Martin as she would not be under that pressure anymore. Roni Maman rightfully concluded during the meeting that I was intimidated by the Camp Two guys but he then reduced that strong feeling to “gossiping is normal”. Roni Maman even defended that some of the Camp Two guys did not talk to me, that he could not change that. Now that he apparently accepted that there was an issue with more bullying than he initially thought at the beginning of the meeting, he refused to take it seriously. The solution he came up with was that I should return to the team and do as if nothing had ever happened. He mentioned in his conclusion that “I can take a different way out”, that was a clear allegation that I could leave the company if I was not happy with his proposal. A clear threat to put me under pressure. My conclusion of the meeting was impossible to misunderstand: “I don't see myself going back, it will be the same in a couple of weeks”. I had seen this already too many times with this management, too many times there had been a temporary improvement, although minor most of the times, and after that the bullying had continued even worse. I did not see another go at that recipe as a solution at all. Roni Maman was obviously reading from a simplified and manipulated script prepared by HR and had no clue what was really happening with the bullying, colleagues leaving constantly because of Susana Martin, etc. 258. On 26th April 2018 at 10h19 Emma Horwood sent me an email with a letter attached regarding the meeting with Roni Maman two days earlier. The letter was supposedly written by vice-president Roni Maman and dated 25th April 2018, the day before it was sent to me via email. The letter contained the outcome of the bullying investigation. Roni Maman more or less claimed it was my word against Susana Martin's, the only person he had interviewed during his investigation. Roni Maman also claimed that Susana Martin's behavioural change to the worse had been intentional and because of the team meeting at the end of January.
