that I was becoming desperate. The bullying was relentless and no effective management decisions were taken to alleviate the toxic atmosphere. This was less than three months after I had started at GVC/bwin after a sabbatical that had made me feel entirely relaxed and free of worries and working in a job that I liked very much and gave me a lot of personal satisfaction.

53. The translation of my email to Susana Martin:
Hi Susana,
Tomorrow I have the 14h00-22h00 shift. This means that unfortunately I will have to sit together with some unpleasant people for most of my shift.
I personally think it's really sad that I am studying my shift roster before I start to check how bad the following day/week will be. This is a new experience for me, I never before in my life had to live through something like this.

Is it possible to have a motiviation chat with you tomorrow so you can lift my spirits up? I would appreciate that a lot.
KR,
Bart

I feared though that the relief would be limited in time as by now it was abundantly proven that Susana Martin was a weak and ineffectual team manager.

Therefore I sent Susana Martin a short email to express my gratitude and take away any fear for negative feelings on my side that she
