151. The same day 6th March 2018 I replied to Susana Martin's email about the week 12 holiday. "I wish to point out that at the time I asked about the possibility to get week 12 off, there was a tremendously bad atmosphere in the team with several people not talking to others etc." In the meantime week 12 was given as annual leave to Kieran Vandenhoeck. It had become obvious that Susana Martin used her well known tactics to sabotage my holiday requests, as she had done with other team members in the past who had complained about that repeatedly. The bad evaluations, etc. fitted in the same strategy Susana Martin had used before on others to make their life harder. This only added to my despair that my days in the company were numbered and there was a campaign by Susana Martin to bully me away by breaking me mentally, as she had done to Dennis Dorland. I decided to remain polite and respectful in my reply although mentally I was fuming.

152. My reply to Susana Martin:
Dear Susana,
I wish to point out that at the time I asked about the possibility to get week 12 off, there was a tremendously bad atmosphere in the team with several people not talking to others etc. Not to forget that it was by then very clear for me that several team members were about to leave the team and/or company even more complicating things. Add to that that Kieran in the meantime was give that same week 12 off. So one way or another the team is heavily understaffed at the moment complicating everyone’s plans.
I should hear something this week about the job offer I applied for, that could solve the problem entirely of course.

153. On 7th March 2018 the meeting “for which I did not have to prepare” was planned. That meeting with Susana Martin and Samira Mouhayar was postponed at the very last minute to the following day. No reason was given but I was not worried about this at that time. As the meeting was supposed to be an update on the team atmosphere I expected to be given news on how the HR investigation had gone and what steps would be announced to make sure the bullying was a thing of the past. I therefore looked actually forward to that
