my annual leave were not marked as such in the updated shift roster proving that there was a behind the scenes agreement between my management and HR to make my holiday impossible. I had to drink a lot of alcohol now to be able to fall asleep at night and when I slept, to keep the nightmares away. I kept spending some time on my voluntary work at Europa Foreshore as this was the only way to keep me from going entirely insane, keeping me mentally and physically occupied with the manual labour.

283. On 3rd May 2018 at 11h03 Emma Horwood wrote another email that I did not appear on my shift that day. Again I saw a lost call on my mobile phone. There was no way I was able emotionally to go to work, my mind did not allow me and the idea of further bullying terrified me. Even the phone ringing caused me a panic attack and I did not dare get close to it to pick it up for fear that it could be Susana Martin again. I was working like a madman on my appeal timeline for which I accessed the company email from my computer at home now and then to copy emails reporting bullying. As I feared that my email access could be cut off by the company, I also forwarded some emails to my personal hotmail address for later use in my appeal timeline. I continued working on my appeal to keep my job but with the bullying sorted out this time. With hindsight it would have been so much easier to simply have resigned and go and look for another job elsewhere but my mind was so far gone that this option did not even come up in my mind then.

284. Emma Horwood's email (CC Danielle Wood):
Hi Bart,
You have failed to appear again today for your shift at 10am. I’ve tried to call you and ping you on Skype for Business as I can see you are intermittently coming online, but you are not answering and we are concerned. Please can you make contact with us to let us know you are okay and your intention with regards to attendance of your shift please.
Many thanks,
Emma


285. The same day 3rd May 2018 at 16h05 Emma Horwood sent me another email. In this email she forbade me to forward work emails to my private email address. This only added
