understand by now, and creating more confusion and insecurity doesn't help me at all.
Could you please point out what my present situation is:
- I have already already been sacked by the company.
- I am supposed to resign myself.
- I am to return to work after my appeal has been investigated.
In the last case I have clearly pointed out that I want suspension till 8th May, then annual leave till 16th May. This gives both me the necessary time to write an appeal and the company after that time to investigate it properly. That seems quite an honest deal to me.
Looking forward to you reply and with kind regards,
Bart


289. The same day 4th May 2018 Emma Horwood replied to my email and explained how I had to do the appeal. She went to great lengths to try to downplay what my appeal should be. According to her I should only explain in my appeal why going back to work without any real changes regarding the bullying, would not work. She clearly did not take on board any of the reasons I already brought up earlier or refused to accept those. There was no mention at all about my mental health problems although I had explained those several times over the last few days and weeks. There was also the continued lie about my holiday request not being possible, etc. She wrote that I had been put on leave without pay but further threatened to sack me if I were to stay away from work another day. That I might have a new mental breakdown when going back to the toxic environment, did not seem to worry her at all. She entirely ignored that I wanted to appeal against not only the outcome of the decision, I wanted to appeal the whole of the flawed and manipulated investigation so I wanted to bring up as much material as possible, properly organised in a timeline for a better understanding.

290. Emma Horwood's reply via email (CC Danielle Wood):
Morning Bart,
Thank you for finally getting in touch, we were concerned about you.
Okay it seems you have a number of issues confused, specifically in regards to the appeal. As you know, I have tried to call you the last couple of days to check on your wellbeing and to also clear up these points as it may have been easier on the phone,
