figures for the month of January. She mentioned in it that I was called out of poker training but entirely misrepresented the situation and tried to make it look negative on me. This confirmed my strong suspicion that she was on a revenge mission and a personal vendetta. I think she felt that I was in a weak mental position and about to break down under the mental stress I was being subjected to. It became clear that she was on a campaign to bully me away, exactly as she had done with Dennis Dorland. I decided to let a night's sleep go over it and then decide how to react on it. The next day 5th March 2018 I wrote an email to Susana Martin with my reply on the Performance Card figures for the month of January allegations and copied in Samira Mouhayar and Danielle Wood from HR. My email was intended to clearly communicate about my feelings of alarm and distress.

The problem with the Poker training was indeed that high numbers of the DU/BE team called in sick causing a situation that on Thursday (3rd day of the training) and Friday (4th day of the training) mornings nobody would be present to answer user’s queries. On Thursday Samira asked Miranda, the trainer, to tell me to leave the training and send me back to my desk to deal with the users. AS SOON AS this was communicated to me I LEFT for my desk IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT ANY OBJECTIONS. Miranda also communicated to me that the most important part of the Poker education, the practice
