in Gibraltar and with Jim I share a passion for local heritage. We normally go on long walks around Gibraltar or do some caving and other outdoors activities. I looked forward to meet them again as it meant that I would be away for a week from the bullying at work and I highly needed to reload my batteries again. Spending a lot of time on all these different activities with Jim would definitely help me to clear my mind of the toxic atmosphere at work. Jim and his wife were self-employed people in the film industry and were always busy with interesting projects which was always fun to hear about. I planned to bring this up at the meeting with Samira Mouhayar that same day to see if she as a department manager could assist in sorting this holiday request issue out. A few weeks later it turned out that my Northern Ireland friends had work on a project rescheduled and did not come to Gibraltar in the planned period.

Hi Susana,
I have friends from Northern Ireland over for 2 weeks arriving on Sunday. As I have 16:00 – 24:00 shift next week it will be impossible to do something with them. For that week 12 is my only option.

Thanks and kr.

In the meeting room there was a long table and I sat opposite Susana Martin at one end of the table and Samira Mouhayar sat at the far end to take minutes. Samira Mouhayar told me at the beginning of the meeting that she would not intervene and we had to do “as if she was not there”. Susana Martin started talking and I noticed immediately an aggressive and hostile attitude. This meeting definitely did not look like some updates on the bullying investigation by HR would be given and indeed turned out to be an hour long attack from Susana Martin towards me. This was terribly intimidating as I constantly had to defend myself against Susana Martin 's
