300. That same day 7th May 2018 at 13h22, forty-five minutes after I sent my appeal to Cecilia Malmgren, Susana Martin sent an email to the Scandinavian team to ask to help out the Dutch/Flemish team. This again showed that an overflow system existed and that was more evidence that my holiday request was perfectly reasonable and feasible, even with the reduced team numbers.

301. Susana Martin's email:
Hello SCAN team ;-),
If the workload is done in your own support, please help out in the Dutch.com inbox. We need to always try to keep them to “0”.
If there the workload is done as well, we help out in the EN inbox.
Thank you all for your help, kr.
Susana


302. On 8th May 2018 at 10h23 Emma Horwood sent me via email a “notice of termination of employment”. The appeal against the bullying investigation outcome I sent the day before was not even mentioned. I had not been able to go back to work because of the mental health problems caused by the bullying. HR had organised a situation where I was forced to go in absence without leave and then got me fired for it. Their lack of adequate action led to financial losses that I wanted to be compensated. My first mental breakdown led to a second and worse mental breakdown that led to me being sacked. That must have been perfectly foreseeable by my management and HR as it was well documented in several emails and minutes of meetings. The termination of employment letter was three pages long, which was unexpected, as half a page would have been sufficient. The first two pages were just some repeats of things already mentioned before but seemed to try to build up a reasoning for sacking me without mentioning at all my ongoing mental health problems. It would have been sufficient for them to have written: “you have been absent without leave for x days, and therefore your services are no longer required.” But no, they wrote an explanation of two pages, probably to convince themselves that what they were doing was right although they must have known that it was not right at all. Only the third page contained some useful information on how the financial aspects of my dismissal would be handled.
