after i've shared my experienced about the 2 haolian girls that i have met in my life, i realized i have forgotten 2 more haolian-ers whom i've met recently. seriously, i really do attract a lot of haolian-ers. HAHAHA. wonder why. maybe i am too easy-going and so haolian-ers think that im actually impressed with them.
anyway, recently, i got to know this auntie. she is also a fellow singaporean who got married to Hong Kong. so we were basically chatting over MSN over nonsense. and then suddenly, she starts to haolian to me about how filial she is to her parents. she was telling me that she bought BUSINESS class SQ tickets for her parents to fly from Singapore to Hong Kong. she was telling me she brought her dad out to wherever he wanted to go. she was telling me she cooked really nice food for her parents. she was telling me her dad bought her a tv but she refused to accept because she wanted her dad to keep the money for himself. seriously, do i look like i care? i mean i know you're filial but you dont have to prove to me that you are really filial. filial piety is not meant to be used as a tool for showing-off. and occassionaly, she will sms me just to tell me what she has just done for her parents. when im bored, i'll reply her. but most of the time, i ignore. i mean i do like her as she's really kind and nice but i dont have to know how filial she is.
recently, just realized this other guy at work is SUPER haolian and whiney. he complained NON-STOP. and when i said non-stop, i was not exaggerating. everyday, when i start a conversation with him, he would start complaining. and to make matters worse, his complaints were always the same. and in his complaints, he's always whining about how much work he had to do, how stupid the sales people are, how annoying the clients are, how no one was helping him and all the shit. seriously, initially i was okay to hear those shit from him. but then his shit got repeated over and over and over again and it's the same old shit. come on, we all know that you're doing a lot of shit and etc etc and we really empathize with you on your work BUT seriously, do you have to complain non-stop? he started with complaining about the workload. then he moved on with how horrible the other teams are and how uncooperative and inefficient they were. and then he moved on to lashing out at the salesforce for not doing their job. and guess what? not only did he complain to me and my team, he complain to the other teams as well, regardless if it was the first time they have met. seriously, that is not very professional. all of us have our own shit and we know our own shit. the fact that your shit was not moving as smoothly as you wanted it to be, it didnt give you the right to lash it out at us. and today, he seriously cross the line. we had a meeting with our global manager and it was a sales meeting. i asked him to speak at the meeting about his recent successes and all the shit. but guess what? he ended up complaining. and i can hear from the other line ( it was a teleconference ) that my global manager is pissed to the max. seriously, grow up and stop complaining! and when he complained, it's full of arrogance and it could get rather annoying.
and to add on to this, he's also super haolian. first, he commented that 2 of our team-mates are not proactive enough to be in sales. and i told him " dude, look. they have their way or working and they know their shit. you not seeing them proactive doesnt mean they are not sales-y enough. " and guess what? this guy, on certain occassion, tried to act like sales and started to 'sell" our products when his job was to implement the service. this really pissed off one of my colleague. seriously, we know you're good at what you're doing and we know you're a good salesperson, but at this moment, you're not a salesperson and so dont do what we were hired to do! and there was once, we went out for lunch. and he started lashing out at my team for not selling a certain product which was easier to implement. he was rattling on and on about how certain companies need our service and why were we not selling them. i said " seriously, do you know why? because this is not the solution for them. why do we want to sell them something that doesnt work? " and he said " so we're just going to let these money go? " and i replied " that is why we have different products. and we sell those products to these people. " then he kept quiet. OMG. he knows nothing about what we do and the products and he had the cheek to "criticize" me and my team for not selling? guess what? his manager actually support him. DUHZ. another stubborn cow.
the recent saga was that he was on a call with the client. and the client told him something which the current service that was sold to the client was not compatible. without a hesitation, he started to lash it out at my colleague for selling the wrong solution to the client. seriously, how can you trust a client? even if the client was right, how would it make us look in front of the client if we were on the opposite side? and so, my manager has to mitigate the whole thing. trying to make him see that client may not be always telling the truth and we need to find out the real reason and etc etc. seriously, i thought it was pretty common sense!!!
funnily, yesterday he was complaining to me about the NY team. he said he was on the phone with them till late on Friday evening to hear them argue over senseless stuffs. and he said that he could finish what they want to give them in one day or even half a day. but because he was sooo busy with all the shit on a daily basis, he didnt have time. but because he's so "efficient", he would do it and send what they needed from him so that it would showcase his efficiency. well, when i started talking to him, he had already started doing the shit. 3 hours later, i asked if he's done, he said " this is taking longer than i expected. it's not tough but it's manual and takes time to put things together " at that moment i was like " HAHAHA, so you're not exactly that efficient, arent you? " he really think he's that efficient and good that everyone else but him suck. so i said " eh, i thought you said it's pretty easy? " and he said " oh well, im giving them more than what they're expecting and so.." i was sooo tempted to say " ya right " but i didnt. all i said was " oh, good luck. " *rolls eyes*
on a side note, another team-mate of mine commented that she's cool with him. i told her that you're cool with him because you know nothing and so she could only pass it to him and trust him to do the job. and she argued that she really thinks that he's good. i argued back that i didnt deny the fact that he's good but seriously, he should stop complaining. she still insisted that he's good and she's cool with him. seriously, she thought everyone's cool with her. that's not the case. wanted to tell her but i know she'll deny. and so, never mind. save my breath for breathing.
