false allegations. Things were taken out of context and I was accused of being stubborn. Susana Martin now openly attacked me in front of my department manager Samira Mouhayar and tried to present me as a bad employee, as a problem that she had in her team. Susana Martin's campaign to bully me away was now in full charge and the meeting was clearly set up as a trap to catch me unprepared. Luckily I defended myself very well against Susana Martin's attacks as I remembered very well the issues she brought up. Samira Mouhayar indeed did not intervene. I later found out that Samira Mouhayar's minutes from the meeting reflected very well all the attacks and complaints Susana Martin threw at me, but almost none of my answers and defences. Susana Martin and Samira Mouhayar were now clearly teaming up to make me look bad with the intention to get rid of me. During this meeting there was no mention at all of the steps that had been taken to stop the bullying or what the outcome of the HR investigation was, as had been suggested in the invitation email.

Stefan Kalcher had told me during the video conference that he had some family issues in his home country Austria and then had to go on a business trip to India. Noemie Levy told me not to worry if there was not an immediate reply from Stefan Kalcher as I definitely was still considered to be in the running for the job. This was quite a relief for me as it looked like a fantastic way out of my dreadful employment environment in the customer service department at that moment. I popped in at HR a few times too to talk face to face to Noemie Levy and she was always very enthusiastic about my application. I found that very hopeful and motivating and it helped me to manage my fear that my days in the company were counted.

160. On 9th March 2018 I got another email from Susana Martin. She came up with yet another excuse for not giving me week 12 off: "For week 12, I already informed you that Monday 19.03 it is not ideal to give you holidays." This time she writes that only one day of the whole week is a problem, even though Kieran Vandenhoeck already had been given that week off, but that is now not a problem anymore. Why did she every time come up with other or different reasons and excuses for a simple annual leave request? Why was
