any bullying from Susana Martin. I noticed that Jose Luis Aznar immediately disliked this new team member and I thought that the whole bullying story would repeat itself as had been the case with me, Dennis Dorland and Kieran Vandenhoeck. Cathy Gosseye stayed for only a month and a half and then left the company on 20th April 2018 for reasons unknown to me.

149. The 6th March 2018 brought another unpleasant surprise. Out of the blue Susana Martin sent me an email with a reminder for my week 12 annual leave request from 31st January 2018 saying she never got a reply from me. This was a blatant lie as this was verbally discussed between us in the office a few times and my request had till that moment never posed a problem. I checked the shift roster and replied that Kieran Vandenhoeck was given the week requested by me in the meantime. Susana Martin now all of a sudden claimed that Kieran Vandenhoeck had asked for that period two weeks before I did but this was never mentioned before so she must have made that up. She wrote that week 14 was no problem. It was now crystal clear that I had fallen out of grace with Susana Martin and she was practising her usual recipe on me with holiday request troubles, etc. exactly as she had done to the Camp Two guys and Dennis Dorland. She had done it so many times that by now she knew she could get away with murder. Samira Mouhayar and HR would not cause her any problems and would even protect her by covering up for her. My last hope on building a career at GVC was disappearing quickly. I was still very reluctant to create a big fuss about Susana Martin's worsening attitude towards me as I did not want to make a future manager think that I attacked my team leader. That would not be very helpful for my career, I imagined.

150. Susana Martin's email:
Hi Bart,
Week 14 is fine to take holidays, for W 12 I never received your reply.
Week 15 is also fine if you would like to that week as holidays, as the shift plan has not been made yet.
Thanks and kr.
Susana
