mistakes. During a monthly evaluation meeting it was quite normal to be instructed one thing by Susana Martin and the next month be instructed to do the entire opposite. But when I tried to point out to her what was written in MOSS, she picked up her litany again that I was stubborn, trying to do things “my own way”, etc. This was a constant source of complaints, confusion and frustration in the team. 30. The struggle between the two camps continued every day. Sometimes Yousri Amrani and Susana Martin would not speak with each other for days. Yousri Amrani seemed to really hate Susana Martin. On several occasions I had the impression that Yousri Amrani did not like that his immediate boss was a woman. Jose Luis Aznar seemed to me the main instigator fuelling the hatred against Susana Martin. During many days there was an icy atmosphere in the team and when other language teams could be heard to have laughs and banter, in the Dutch/Flemish team the days were passed in a deadly silence. Nobody dared to say a word out of fear that someone from Camp Two would feel provoked and start shouting and screaming. In the thirty years that I have been working for companies I had never experienced anything like this. Nobody did anything to stop it, that was the most astonishing and disappointing thing about it, it was just left festering and getting worse over time. I just kept hoping that the Camp Two guys would soon find another job and leave the company. I kept spending hours every day doing my voluntary work in the Nature Reserve to distract my mind from the toxic atmosphere at work. There were days that I was fearful to go to work for what could happen and even in my free time I felt at times tense and uncomfortable. The bullying issues were regularly discussed between me and the neutral colleagues Stef van Veen and Dennis Dorland when the Camp Two guys were not present. Stef van Veen and Dennis Dorland told me that they pitied me for what I had to undergo. On the other hand they were clearly trying not to get involved for fear of repercussions from the Camp Two guys, they were clearly intimidated by what they were seeing. It seemed as well to be convenient for Stef van Veen and Dennis Dorland that I was bullied so at least the bullies left them alone. Dennis Dorland was bullied too, specifically by Jose Luis Aznar who disliked Dennis Dorland tremendously. But then at times Jose Luis Aznar was friendly to Dennis Dorland trying to recruit him for his Camp Two or manipulating him against Susana Martin by telling him gossip or tell Dennis Dorland upsetting and negative things that Susana Martin had publicly said about Dennis Dorland. |
