He called Susana Martin's leadership style a show of immaturity and profound lack of professionalism. Dennis Dorland told me that in his own evaluation meeting with Susana Martin he had brought up that he had had mental health problems, a burn-out, in the past and that he felt that they might return because of the bad atmosphere in the team. Susana Martin entirely ignored that and continued to treat Dennis Dorland in a derogatory and humiliating way. She actually told me that she hoped that Dennis Dorland would go away and find another job elsewhere.

65. This date 15th September 2017 was also the last day for Sabir Nouri who had resigned a month earlier. I was quite happy, as was Dennis Dorland, that he was going as during the four months I knew him he never said a friendly word to me and treated me as some kind of piece of rubbish. I hoped that with him gone the negative Camp Two influence on the atmosphere in the team would diminish. There was also a new starter, Kieran Vandenhoeck, a younger Belgian guy with two children who I therefore hoped would be more mature than the Camp Two guys. The Dutch/Flemish team continued to be eight people plus the team leader.

66. During my time at GVC I had always made it clear to my team leader and all colleagues, including the Camp Two guys, that as I had no wife or children or other obligations in general, I would always be willing to change or swap shifts with them as and when required. This happened several times and I was able to help out colleagues with planning holidays, family visits, etc. This had the extra and unexpected advantage that I did a lot of shifts from 16h00-24h00. This shift came with an extra shift allowance after 20h00 and most of the time after 20h00 I worked entirely alone so I was not bullied. It also gave me many hours in the morning and early afternoon to do my voluntary work in the Nature Reserve that helped keep me relaxed and mitigated the negative influence of the
