Susana Martin 12:07: Of course, it will be a long meeting then / and I only planned for 30 minutes
Bart Van Thienen 12:08: I feel very unhappy in my job, above all, at the moment.
Susana Martin 12:09: we'll discuss it in a bit / but instead of going to Samira, you can talk to me

129. Around this time there were more incidents and some evolutions. I was very disappointed about my first bad monthly quality evaluation. I had never had less than 86% and now all of a sudden I got 70%, well under the company's 80% treshold for minimum acceptable quality.

130. Out of misery I had another chat with Samira Mouhayar in her office. Because of the very low staff numbers in the Dutch/Flemish team, there were only four of us now instead of the eight when I had started, I now sat entirely alone during most of the time on my shifts. Samira Mouhayar came up with the idea that I could sit together with the English team to have some company during working hours. I stressed that I was very able to deal with the continuous stream of customer requests, I never had any issues with that. The
