my appeal against the Bullying Investigation Outcome and your refusal to act on that appeal.
We are now ten days further and I haven't received any further news from you, it looks like you are not taking my dismissal appeal seriously, as you never took my complaints re bullying seriously. I can confirm you that there is no need for a hearing or meeting as my written appeal already contains the most important points.
I hereby request documentary evidence of my rights within the appeal for dismissal procedure. I also request any other documentary evidence relevant to my case.
Regards,
Bart Van Thienen


314. On 22nd May 2018 Cecilia Malmgren replied and sent an invite for a hearing on Friday 25th May 2018, only three days notice. Her email contained several blatant lies. She claimed that I could not be reached as I had been in Belgium but I read, sent and replied to emails from HR while I was on my holiday there and had my mobile phone with me. She also claimed that she was on business travel but that meant that she still had access to her emails and she was not incommunicado either. I immediately noticed the sadistic insult to hold the appeal hearing in the “Recognition Meeting Room”. Her attempt to hide from the chairman of the meeting that the real reason for my dismissal was the bullying was obvious. Cecilia Malmgren's mention that I had the right to be accompanied at the appeal hearing by a work colleague and no other form of representation was permitted, made it tremendously clear that they had no genuine intention to do a proper appeal hearing, just a pro forma hearing to finally get rid of me once and for all. The loss of trust and confidence in HR had never been more complete than after reading that email and letter.

315. Cecilia Malmgren's reply via email:
Hi Bart,
I was traveling with business last week and returned yesterday (21 May). As you can see from my email below I ask you to acknowledge the receipt of this letter and I knew you were out of the country.
I have now prepared the hearing for this Friday- see attached invite letter and attached a copy of your employment contract.
