Aznar) and Hamid Ringelberg. The four Camp Two members hated our team leader Susana Martin and did everything they could to convince me, Stef van Veen and Dennis Dorland to choose sides in what looked like a revolution against the team leader. Part of their motivation came from Jose Luis Aznar who aspired to become the new team leader after Susana Martin would have been bullied away by them. I made it very clear from the start that I did not want to get involved in such conspiracies and I tried to be friendly with everyone. Dennis Dorland reacted differently to this internal power fight and closed himself off from the team and sat in his own world during his shifts. He was bullied by the Camp Two guys who found that Dennis Dorland was stupid and lazy and they did not do a lot to help him get better in his job. Stef van Veen tried to be friends with both Camps by now and then going out for drinks after work with the Camp Two guys. All of this created a tense atmosphere in the team as you had constantly to be very careful what you said as the Camp Two guys were all the time looking out for things they could use against Susana Martin. 16.

I think that Hamid Ringelberg was worried with me in the team as I was picking up things quickly. He himself was struggling with the job requirements. He was a slow worker and made many mistakes and he was still in probation. Later his probation would be extended twice for a month by Susana Martin while I got my fixed contract immediately at the end of my four months of probation time. Jose Luis Aznar continued to see himself as the soon to be team leader although he did not have any qualities required for a leadership position in my opinion (that I kept to myself). I was convinced that Jose Luis Aznar saw me as a threat for his team leader ambition and that that explained his cool and negative attitude towards me and the |
