asked around to confirm in the team and nobody else had been asked to write the dates in such a way. I was perplexed by Susana Martin's request but obliged. Since then I always wrote the dates with dots and dashes till the last day I worked for GVC. I never understood the sense of this request but as Susana Martin was my boss, I simply followed the instructions given, even nonsensical ones like this dots and dashes thing. Seeing how badly Susana Martin was treating other team members, at this time the last thing I wanted to happen was to upset Susana Martin by protesting about a date format. I continued with my strategy to praise her in emails to stay on her good side. It was pretty clear to me by now that Susana Martin was utterly incompetent for her job.

63. The 15th September 2017 signaled the end of the four months probation period. I had a meeting with Susana Martin and Samira Mouhayar with an evaluation of my work during those past four months. I was scared to go to that meeting as I had no clue how my series of complaints of bullying would affect the management's opinion about me and my work. I was very surprised when Samira Mouhayar congratulated me with my excellent work and mentioned that it was even more outstanding because of the difficulties I had had to go through with the Camp Two guys and their relentless bullying. It was also the end of the probation period for Stef van Veen but extended for an extra month for Dennis Dorland. That I was now on a fixed contract brought surprisingly a bit more relaxed atmosphere to the team. I was under the impression that the Camp Two guys had somehow accepted that their attempts to bully me away had failed.

64. The Camp Two guys were unhappy that Stef van Veen had been accepted with a fixed contract too and they claimed that that had been manipulated by Susana Martin to make sure that Martijn van der Vechte (Susana Martin's boyfriend) got his £1,000 referral fee as he had brought in Stef van Veen, an old friend of his. “The girlfriend is helping her boyfriend get some extra money”, was the accusation. The Camp Two guys claimed that both Stef van Veen and Dennis Dorland were not strong contributors for the team, their work was of a poorer quality, and both should have been kept under extended probation. In a private chat with me Stef van Veen admitted that he had expected an extended probation period for himself and said that he understood that being given a preferential treatment by Susana Martin because of Martijn van der Vechte caused upset in the team.
