I wish to appeal to the conclusion in its entirety. I am astonished though that after 11 months of documented complaints of bullying and victimisation you only give me 5 working days after receipt to respond to a totally unmotivated conclusion to my detriment. I see indeed that your Bullying at Work Policy, as Emma gave it to me (a print from a page at the company's intranet I had never seen before) at he end of our 09.04.2018 meeting, actually mentions that time scale. I don't remember though to ever have subscribed to or accepted such a policy. Please inform me with proof if otherwise. As I received this notification on 27.04.2018 and I have to reply within 5 working days, this means I have to reply by the end of 07.05.2018. In Gibraltar 30.04.2018 and 01.05.208 are bank holidays. According to GVC's own Bullying at Work Policy, as provided by Emma, this means I should continue till and including the date 07.05.2018 on suspension with full pay. For my appeal I started working on a full timeline of events with all proof available since I first started on 15.05.2017. You will surely understand that to build up such a defence, it cannot be done in a few hours. As such denying my sincere, genuine and honest request for a continuation of suspension would be extremely unfair. Thank you in advance for confirming this at your earliest convenience and best regards, Bart 265. That same day 27th April 2018 at 12h08 Danielle Wood replied to my email (CC to Emma Horwood). She confirmed the five working days for my appeal, the same five days I had requested for my suspension on full pay to be extended. She also confirmed 7th May 2018 end of business day as the deadline to hand in my appeal letter. Then she wrote that I had to explain in my appeal letter “why I felt the suggested way forward was not viable”. That was a hard slap in my face. As my “confidence person” in the company, Danielle Wood had interviewed me and had spoken to me on several occasions about the bullying and how bad it made me feel. She had seen my shaking hands when I explained to her how I felt after I called in sick with stress related anxiety. She had been present at all meetings for the bullying investigation in which I kept repeating countless times that it was eleven months of bullying and the detrimental effect on my mental health and risks that it could return or get worse. Out of all people in the world, Danielle Wood was the only one who perfectly knew what was happening and how I thought and felt about it. I had |
