have also clearly stated on several occasions that from 08.05.2018 till 16.05.2018 I would not be in Gibraltar so unable to attend work. The company was very well aware that I would not be present those days. Let it be very clear to all that it is the company that is at fault and the company is entirely responsible for creating a situation where it has been made impossible for me to return to work. As such victimising me for the company´s failure of having a proper Bullying at Work Policy fullfiling all requirements of Gibraltar´s legislation is utterly immoral. Forcing me to absence without leave, causing me mental and physical hardship, fabricating evidence to build a case to sack me, confusing e-mails with multiple possible interpretations, etc. all indicate strongly a conspiracy at several levels in the company against my person and professional interests.
I see it as an intentional insult that it is precisely Emma, whom I reported for her "confusing, conflicting and at times misleading" attitude, is the one to send me the dismissal notice. Lack of respect is again the order of the day. It also shows that my appeal against the Bullying Investigation Outcome has not even been read or considered. The extensive explanation of the reasons for my dismissal shows that the real reason for my dismissal are my 11 months of complaints about bullying, not a few days of "unauthorised" leave, of which you actually voluntarily agree to drop the first 3 ones showing you have no grounds. Somehow I understand the choice the company made though: Yousri, Jose Luis, Susana, Samira, Martijn, Roni, Danielle and Emma all might face disciplinary sanctions in case of a serious and independent investigation. It is of course much easier to sack the 1 victim. I´m not as stupid as you think...
The urgency and amateurishly hastened way which with the company is now dismissing me shows the panic that is around because I will soon be 1 year with the company. If you are trying to prevent me from claiming unfair dismissal because I´m not yet 1 year in the company, then it is already too late anyway.
The company only makes it much worse, probably trying to prevent me from going to court over unfair dismissal but adding even more victimisation to my bullying complaint. I have already mentioned the Gibraltar Employment (Bullying at Work) Act 2014 to Danielle and Emma in our meeting on 09.04.2018, the minutes also clearly mention this. Bullying, victimisation, an illegal Bullying at Work Policy, breaching the Gibraltar Data Protection Act and unfair dismissal, you must be really proud of yourselves...
There have been several attempts to sabotage my appeal against the Bullying Investigation Outcome, now even more because of my dismissal, intended so as not to have to reply to my appeal. Your attempted sabotage has mostly failed though as my file is
