the Gibraltar Data Protection Act and other laws. I also pointed out the intimidating set up of the proposed appeal meeting: three of GVC/bwin, some of them complete and utter strangers to me, whereas I would be alone. I was allowed to bring a colleague but this person could be easily manipulated or put under pressure by the company. I pointed out that their claim that the final decision in this case would be made by the company was not correct as there was also the further option of the Employment Tribunal. After a week away in Belgium and my initial tremendous relief that finally the bullying had finished by being sacked, I had a relapse into my previous despair. I had to start again from zero and find a job in another gaming company, starting at the bottom again by learning their products and procedures, going throug a probation time again, etc. This was extra complicated because I was sacked for gross misconduct/absence without leave. The gaming sector is quite small and especially at management level everyone knows everyone. Seeing the bad way in which I had been kicked out of GVC/bwin, I could not expect that I would get a good reference. During later job interviews with other gaming companies it was always brought up that they knew people working at GVC/bwin so they could ask informal references without having to go through the official channels. Or the person interviewing me said something like: “I met one of your ex-colleagues in a bar in La Linea yesterday”, etc. In general my depressed feelings continued, one day a bit better, the next day worse. I continued to drink to be able to sleep and started elaborating on the timeline I had written for the bullying appeal. This made me relive the bullying I had to suffer while still employed and did not help my mental health. The way the company continued to fob me off regarding both the appeals for bullying and dismissal, showing they were never really interested in giving me a fair and honest chance, depressed me even more. 318. My email to Cecilia Malmgren: Dear Cecilia, It is no surprise for me that as usual the company ignores my request for documentary evidence of my rights within the appeal for dismissal procedure and my request for any other documentary evidence relevant to my case. The continuation of knowingly and purposely breaching the Gibraltar Data Protection Act and other Laws is appalling. I notice that you summon me to a meeting on 25 May to discuss my unfair dismissal. This is very short notice and for that I have to inform you I had already made other arrangements for that date. |
