that he has no ground at all to claim that. So restarted the bully campaign shortly before my probation time ends and by coincidence while you are on holiday.
In short: there was absolutely no reason at all to become aggressive as there never was a problem in the first place.
I have discussed this in a short meeting with Daniela and Samira and hope this gets sorted out.
Thanks and kind regards,

61. September also brought a few more changes in the Scandinavian team that continued with four members. On 4th September 2017 Rikke Sorensen, a Danish girl living in La Linea, started for the Scandinavian team. She did not stay long and left in the first week of January 2018. She publicly said that the only reason why she left was the bad way she was treated by team leader Susana Martin. She explained that there had been several conflicts during evaluation meetings because Susana Martin did not know her stuff and told Rikke off for things she had done correctly. 15th September 2017 was the last day for Ellinore Hallen, a Swedish girl who left the company. She was very discrete and I don't know why she left. On 18th September 2017 Christoffer Thomsen, who started at the same date 15th May 2017 as me for the Scandinavian team, was gone.

62. During my September 2017 evaluation meeting, Susana Martin brought up that I had to change the way I was writing dates in emails to customers. Till then I had written dates with slashes like 15/12/2017 as I had always done when I lived in Belgium. Now Susana Martin wanted me to use dots for Belgians like 15.12.2017 and dashes for the Dutch like 15-12-2017. This sounded like total madness to me as I had never heard about different ways of writing dates for the two countries, and I had worked with Dutch people before. I
