e. Per e-mail bericht van 7 augustus 2009 heeft [G.W.] (Fund Accounting Manager van Fortis) het volgende aan Fortis geschreven:
<i>“It was brought to my attention this week that [verzoeker] has been allocated the Investment Accounting work for [C.M.] and [CGI W.]l (…)
Per your e mail below from the 21st July, [verzoeker] has also been instructed to learn and review the Galbraith Fund Accounting work. In addition, I understand that [M.]t met with [verzoeker] about spending some time on the Rothschild Funds.
(…)
The proposed additional work of[C.M.],[ CGI W.] and perhaps some Rothschild funds is an additional 176 hours per month for a total of 343 monthly hours.
(…)
Based on the above facts, the proposed work allocation to [verzoeker] is very disproportionate.</i>

h. Bij brief van 22 oktober 2009 heeft [verzoeker] van Fortis een waarschuwing gekregen “as your work performance continues at an unsatisfactory level”.
i. Bij e-mail van 10 november 2009 heeft [verzoeker] inhoudelijk gereageerd op de verwijten die hem in de waarschuwingsbrief van 22 oktober 2009 werden gemaakt.
j. In zijn brief van 30 oktober 2009 heeft [A.W.] het volgende verklaard:
<i>“(…)
Within the Group which I was managing was a very demanding, non co-operative and technically challenging client called [B.H.]. Several staff had unsuccessfully worked on this client during 2008 and the relationship with the client was very precarious.
(…)
I recommended that a qualified accountant be brought in to be trained and work on the[B.H.] fund.
(…)
In December 2008, [verzoeker] arrived at Fortis PFS Curacao as the Qualified Accountant tasked with working on the [B.H.] fund. (…) [verzoeker] was to report to myself in my capacity of Senior Investment Accounting Manager.
It soon became apparent that the role which [verzoeker] was to fill had been misrepresented. [verzoeker] had been lead to believe that he was being hired to perform a role predominantly involving staff management and review.
In early 2009 it was decided by Senior Management to amend job descriptions and titles within the new structure. At this point, both [verzoeker] and my jobtitles were amended to Fund Accounting Manager. The job title changes were communicated to staff. However, at no point was an amended organizational chart distributed. (…)
(…)
However, by February 2009 [verzoeker] had fully taken over my role on [B.H.] and was completing reconciliations and handling client contact. In time (…) was to train [verzoeker] (…). However, the specialized training (…) never occurred.
(…)
In April 2009 I requested Human Resources to provide the employee staff appraisal forms in order for me to outline goals, targets and expectations for employees for the upcoming year. Managing Director [G.W.] advised that Senior Management were still waiting to receive their goals and targets and this would be filtered down once this information was available. Upon my departure on September 9th, these targets and goals had still not been communicated.
(…)
In June 2009 staff were requested to take a 10% pay cut.
(…)
In July 20089 work allocations again were re shuffled by the Client Services Director and [verzoeker] was instructed to take over an additional fund from another group under the same Client Services Director. This reallocation of work was clearly a ploy to put pressure on [verzoeker] as the budgeted hours on funds allocated to staff were extremely out of balance.
(…)
Despite never receiving the promised training on [B.H.] in order to process transactions, [verzoeker]’s performance on the fund was satisfactory for the tasks he was given. After the initial learning curve on the Banyan fund, [verzoeker] then applied himself and his service to the client and processing of the Banyan fund was more than satisfactory. He also performed to a satisfactory level reviewing the funds which I allocated to hem (…)”</i>
k. Bij e-mail bericht van 1 februari 2010 heeft [F.D.] van Fortis -ondermeer- het volgende aan [verzoeker] geschreven:
<i>“Let me put this as straight as can be.
You were hired to manage the [B.H.] accounts.
(…)”</i>
l. Fortis heeft [verzoeker] met behoud van salaris op non-actief gesteld.
m. [M.A.], Senior Account Manager FA en direct leidinggevende van [verzoeker] heeft het volgende verklaard (productie 24F van Fortis):
<i>“I am writing to express my continued frustration at [verzoeker]. As his manager, I find myself unable to continue working with him.
[verzoeker] continually demonstrates a lack of cooperation and his overall attitude is frustrating and negative, making the working environment both difficult and unpleasant for all staff within the team.
[verzoeker]’s work continues to be unsatisfactory.
