84. Towards the end of January 2018 I had one of very few normal conversations with Yousri Amrani. Obviously in this chat he had to bring up some negative remarks about Susana Martin, now his ex-team leader. He told me that Susana Martin had gone to Luis Pinto, the VIP team leader/manager, a few months before and had told Luis Pinto that he shouldn't take on Yousri Amrani as he was a bad guy. Yousri Amrani told me that Luis Pinto himself had told him that. Yousri Amrani had also been told by someone that the job at VIP had been created for him to remove him from the Dutch/Flemish customer service team so he could not create troubles there anymore. Susana Martin had told that same story about a job being created for Yousri Amrani to one of the VIP team members, Steffie van den Bogaard, who was leaving the company. Steffie van den Bogaard then told Yousri Amrani. Steffie van den Bogaard told me that she had worked in Susana Martin's team in the past and that she hated Susana Martin for her lack of professionalism. Susana Martin actually told me an almost identical story about that job being created for Yousri Amrani to get rid of him so apparently I was not the only person to whom Susana Martin had been gossiping. Yousri Amrani told me that he was very upset about Susana Martin doing the rounds to make him look bad.

85. Yousri Amrani brought this up again a few days later in the kitchen and recreation area adjacent to the office. He approached me and told me the story again about Susana Martin badmouthing him behind his back and about creating a job for him to get rid of him. After all the bullying I had to undergo from him, Yousri Amrani now tried to recruit me for his Camp Two anti-Susana Martin campaign, I hardly could believe it... I diplomatically replied that maybe he should look at the situation from a different angle as his new situation in the VIP team could also be seen as a promotion with a pay rise from £20,000 per year to £26,000 per year and 20% bonus instead of 10% bonus in the customer service department. I suggested that maybe he should thank Susana Martin for doing him a favour. Yousri had no reply to that and I advised him to let the past rest and focus on the future. I guessed that he was still having a go at undermining Susana Martin's team leader position to help Jose Luis Aznar get the team leader position after Susana Martin was bullied away. That same evening Yousri Amrani sent me a private message on Facebook messenger bringing up Susana Martin again. He had never contacted me out of work before and I had none of my colleagues as friends on Facebook as I wanted to keep my private life separated from my work, especially because of the bullying. Definitely the last
