coleagues much better. When I walked into the office, my private life stayed outside the office door and at the end of my shift I closed the office door behind me and all work related issues stayed inside the office. With Stef van Veen I had talked a few times to go for a drink after work but that never materialised as he lived somewhere near Tarifa. With Dennis Dorland I had a few pints of lager once as he wanted to learn about Gibraltar's history and what interesting second world war events happened in Gibraltar. After work I continued my voluntary work in the Nature Reserve at Europa Point/Foreshore and I had found the perfect balance between a fast-paced and busy job and relaxing doing hands on voluntary work. Even after a very stressful day I could disconnect entirely and start the next shift the following day with a clear mind and a smile on my face. During the first few weeks of training I was given one morning off to do the GCSE exam for Spanish as a second language via the Gibraltar College. I had prepared for one year for this examination during compulsory class attendence and passed all four modules with maximum points, getting 400 out of 400. I also voluntarily helped my newly arrived colleagues to register with the local Tax Office as they did not know how to fill out the forms and where to hand them in. 13. On 22nd May 2017 we had our first day with the Dutch/Flemish team, after which the training would continue in the class room. We were given the task to reply on simple customer queries via email and practise with the different softwares. The more experienced team members were to shadow us and evaluate our first emails and give advice on how to improve where necessary. I asked my very first question to Sabir Nouri who by coincidence sat beside me. He immediately replied in a rude, aggressive and brutal way "Don't you see I'm busy?". He actually never has been friendly to me as long as I worked for GVC/bwin and I quickly learned to avoid him whenever possible. The same happened to Dennis Dorland who avoided Sabir Nouri as much as possible. At that moment I also remembered Susana Martin and Samira Mouhayar repeatedly asking about how I would deal with a troublesome colleague during the vacancy interview and I thought that my original suspicion was correct and Sabir Nouri was the person they were having in mind when asking that question. As there were many different shifts from eight in the morning till midnight, including weekends, I expected not to be troubled too much by Sabir Nouri as I would have enough shifts that I would not have to be working with him. The office set up was that each team had its own area in which there was free seating. I |
