Government in the press on a few occasions and I was not affected by the public criticism, even although it was sometimes unfair and incorrect. But these were instances that I knew could happen and I accepted them as part of my environmental cause battles. But the bullying at work, day in day out, the relentless undermining of my self-confidence, the never ending criticism for things I had done correctly according to the Standard Operating Procedures, the gossiping behind my back about what a bad employee I was, it all started to take its toll on my mental health.

51. The email I sent to Susana Martin and Samira Mouhayar:
Good evening Susana, Samira,
A short update about this week's issues in the team.
Monday:
I’m alone with Yousri this morning and he’s in a much better mood today. He’s still trying to find every error or mistake I make so I’m extra careful trying to not make any. There are enough e-mails in the mailboxes to keep me busy so again I don’t understand where Yousri finds the time to go through my cases.
He makes his presence well known though by having loud conversations over my head with the French team, he could as well walk those few meters and discuss whatever he needs to in private with them.
Below a case he said I’ve been treating badly. Noortje was away on holiday, Steven took over. I contacted Steven on Saturday via e-mail re a bonus for a VIP. I got no reply so I forwarded the e-mail to Noortje today who’s back and she replied my e-mail immediately. Now Yousri complained to me that Noortje had contacted him by chat that I should have escalated this to Noortje via CSM and he told me that I should contact Noortje via chat to explain my mistake to her. I did so but she claimed she hadn’t been in touch with Yousri at all. He’s now away on a break apparently without saying anything to me.
Tuesday:
A very nice day as an issue with a bonus registration went wrong and did so apparently for eight months. Pure ecstasy for Jose Luis and Yousri as they are going around now telling everyone that our team leader is to blame for all the mess etc. Specifically Fabien was to be brainwashed about the poor quality of team leader we supposedly have. The more mature team members watched in disdain at the poor spectacle but in a way we were relieved that we were left in peace for some time.
