Carme Macías, the former head of regulatory compliance at Barcelona Metropolitan Transport (TMB), who has filed a complaint against three senior officials for workplace harassment, has spoken publicly for the first time since the case went to court. Macías alleges that she was dismissed in retaliation for an internal investigation into workplace bullying that implicated three managers. The then compliance officer TMB regrets that her dismissal has caused "fear" among the company's employees and has undermined "credibility" and "trust" in the internal reporting system, which is mandatory in large companies. "What can an employee think who wants to report an irregularity if the compliance body is treated like I was? I seriously doubt that TMB has received many complaints since my dismissal," she stated.
