Mouhayar was very introvert and I often wondered how she had gotten the job of department manager. She was not liked very much by anyone in the department and was known for telling people that they could leave the company if they did not agree with her or had constructive criticism. I had a few face to face chats with Samira Mouhayar, mostly in the kitchen or recreation area, about trivialities and she was friendly enough but I never lost the feeling that she was hiding something. 29. On a few occasions Susana Martin instructed me to do things that were clearly wrong according to the company's own guidelines. For example she had misunderstood a case, did not read all comments that were already written for the case or did not read all Terms and Conditions for a promotion, etc. In these situations I politely and calmly tried to explain to her that I had another opinion (based on facts) but then she would get upset about that and accused me of being stubborn and wanting to do things “my own way”.

I quickly learned to “cover my backside” in such situations by asking written advice to VIP managers, other department specialists, etc. This happened only three or four times but Susana Martin kept on bringing these issues up for months afterwards. She kept repeating now and then that I was a good employee but stubborn and “doing things my own way”. I found that quite unfair and unprofessional. She kept hiding her incompetence by accusing her personnel of making mistakes but many times Susana Martin did not have a clue herself what she was talking about. Apart from this upsetting nuisance I did not have any other issues with Susana Martin. My Master of Science degree in engineering meant that my analytical skills were well developed and my years of programming experience taught me how to bring complex things together. I always followed the Standard Operation Procedures in MOSS while I noticed that my colleagues had developed their own ways of doing things, deviating from the Standard Operation Procedures which sometimes led to discussions. In such cases the Camp Two guys backed each other up even when they knew they were wrong. Susana Martin did not have the product knowledge to correct those people and the Camp Two guys used Susanan Martin's weakness to manipulate her and make her believe that things were right if that was convenient for them to for instance cover up for one of their |
