Signing Contract

i requested a 2-hour early leave yesterday from bv because i had an appointment of employment contract signing for pccw at 7pm. i first got back home as i found i forgot to copy certain certificates. i had enough spare time to do so. the feeling of early leave was so good. the whether outside was fantastic and made me feel good. it would have been perfect if it were not that hot.


little sister was home when i got back. then i search for my past certificates and went down to estate mall to have photocopies. i also thought having a bath first was a good idea and i did. and the pccw hr woman said before that it was fine to be in cascal dressing for contract signing. good ~


when i was travelling in mtr i gave hing a call to ask him how to get there. it took around 5 mins from station to pccw building. when i arrived on the hr floor i also found a decent lady sitting at the reception, looking fairly pretty. she surely was another new employee. after a few mintues another tall guy arrived and sat around us. he looked a bit like harry in spiderman, but not that handsome of course. the 3 of us didn't have any conversation, probably because we still didn't know if we were going to be colleagues with each other anyway.


a minute passed and suddenly hr ms. ko called me and ask for my whereabouts. when she arrived the reception and we found that she was a crazy-looking woman in her late 20s, if not early 30s hahaha~ she aggressively invited us to follow her into a conference room. we new arrival were arranged to be seated consideratly far from each other due to confidentia particulars stated in the contract and other classified documentaries.


soon she started briefing us about the every single terms and conditions in the contract as well as our benefits as an employee in pccw. meanwhile i was quite annoyed by a remark she had made during the clarification of offering. the offer of employment, she said, would be granted to a candidate only if the feedback or evaluation they pccw obtained from his or her previous employers, as she said they would do, was at least classified as "satisfied". won't it be a bit late for her to tell us such criteria ?!?! what if i quited owing ot my poor relationship with my boss due to personally affair or deviation of point of view?! why couldn't have she tell us during interview or during the phone confirmation of offer so that the candidate could still have a sense to decide to quit and accept the offer or not?! i really didn't think it was a considerate practice. but i signed all the documents anyway. i needed that job and i am convinced that my impression given to BOSS was fairly satisfied. just forget it~


i didn't understand all the things she said, such as mpf, medicine benefits, etc. but i knew they were good enough.


at last she announced that the progress was completed and missed the meeting. the 3 of us took the lift and we started familiarizing ourselves with each other. they are clerk and sharon. i found sharon really cute when having a close look in the lift. she was a bit shy but cheerful. clerk is tall and strong and not aggressive at all. we started chatting about our past career, educational background, living place.

we wait and see how it goes.

the offer

last thursday when i was dealing with samples at my desk in the office, gabe sitting next to me asked, "are you not selected?" understanding within a second that he meant my application for the position of sales executive in PCCW, "right, probably not." is my plain response. I was not sure, but at that time i really did not have great confidence in myself as a salesman.

after no more than half an hour, my mobile rang and i soon knew that it was PCCW HR calling. i was glad that the interviewer gave me a positive remark on resume, if not interview performance, and consequently granted me an offer of the position. gabe heard my telephone conversation and knew what happened.

afterwards gabe i told gabe and charm in detail about my offer and i explained to nun boss my updated last day owing to the condition of the offer. it was sad to leave teammates & nun boss even earlier.

at first

recalling reporting duty on my even first day in BV, i was feeling complicated deep inside when i handed over my resignation letter to charles a week previously. more than one and a halft year before, i arrived in BV and became one of the fishes. the time then lasts longer that it should have been when i found i actually had nothing to do and learn at the very beginning. no one had much spare time to take care of me and my buddy simon, who joined bv one single day earlier than i did. leo was a little bit strange but he was always available to answer our queries and concern. crocodile was cool at first, while E looked friendly and considerate. meanwhile, there was no substandial difference between candy and candy lo. everything around was fresh and unfamiliar. i liked this place. i still remember leo saying,"we can often leave before 7 o'clock." really? since he left, we could not...

大言不慚

「我個人認為，有d人明明做錯野，但係都唔知自己錯架囉！」

咁o既野佢都講得出，我真係佩服得五體投地~

shortcomings of 難gag王

it's Time for University

I shall like to extend my sincere congradulations to my little sister who has just been granted a place of City University BBA Marketing Bachelor Year 1.

Now mum is exhilarated. Good!

(perhaps my Floor 38 good luck house is attributable to it)

空虛

其實鱷魚咬人
一切源自內心的空虛

哪到底是空虛恐怖
還是鱷魚恐怖？

反喇

我認我喜歡作反
難道你願意被人規限
即管對我白眼
笑罵或痛哭任我揀
存在過但我更貪
還要自己不需感嘆
越怕越難

collapse

the business of bv rohx has been greatly diminished since the effective date of EU Directive, and the major reasons are due to a relatively small market share - compared with sgs- and the overall small, premature market itself, according to 2 resigned sales assistant managers kelvin and brian whose last day in the company was yesterday.

many of us should have probably be surprised by EU's loose enforcement in such directive where brand-name holders and manufacturers are permitted to use a self-declaration as a valid documentary for import to europe. in other words, if this is really the case, our clients no longer need our test reports verifying their products or raw materials. of course, not all of them do have that confidence to declare.

to me their resignations are a smart decision. they are marketing guys having a good insight in the competition scene. bv's rohx seems to have reach its restrained utmost and nobody can foresee its turnover. perhaps it's time to collaspse.

i've ever heard sth like this: external factors would never lead to the collapse of a civilization, but interal problems do. yes, this theory can perfectly illustrate the deterioation of bv rohx. only veteran like me can dictate the trend and history.

first, when Big Boss arrived in bv, it was already too late. little time was allowed him to undergo revolution before the most critical span of time. bv rohx' can't help but remained in prolonged chaos. people were untrained; procedures were terrbily complicated & contradicting; and, system was immature & incomprehensive.

then it came to our reckless strategy. due to pressure from management, cs were ordered not to disclose the real situation. at the tip reason, compliance test that orginally takes 3 weeks needed 2 months to complete. but cs could never tell the truth. "no problem! the report will be avilable 3 weeks later!" cs kept telling clients. they even issue to clients a formal receipt on which the expected due date was clearly stated as a 3-week test period. what happened after 3 weeks? complaint, complaint, complaint. the management at that time treated complaint as nothing since the buiness rate exceeded the target. everyone was just exhilaratingly celectrating the sucess in the front, but failed to notice the notoriety gradually building up among the assessment industry. this strategy consequently turned out to be a fatal tragedy.

i have noted that in recent people, including managers, apparently avoid mentioning the words "high reason". they start giving up the unrealistic dream of any imminent high reason. but, on the other hand, the management are enforcing some harsh procedures for the sake of cost-cutting. Cost-cutting is implemented in terms of forbidding OT (of course you can work OT, but are not entitled to ot payment at all), transferring people to other departments, heavily critizing those who make sigificant mistakes... these annoying policies cause discouragement, frustration & sympathy for each other. people begin thinking about leaving this ghost place. so far, dante, gabe and charm have tender resignation to boss and will be leaving within a short span of time. when my little girl boss vincci asked charm why he quited, charm said, "tell me, what do you think can keep me working here?" and vincci simply failed to give any response.

i hope i can leave this place as soon as possible, without bring too much inconvenience to my angel-like little girl boss ...
