Can't think of a title =)

About my work again….
After ranting about how I still can not find new clients, “Madam” asks me if I have already called up the list that my boss wants me to call up. I don’t know if she just wants to boss me around or my boss really is asking her to ask me about that. Well, I just couldn’t take it much longer, the nagging and all that jazz so today I talked to my boss about it. I tried calling one but I do not know what our products are for and it is very bad for a salesman to not know what he is selling. He understood, thank God! Right now I just have to deal with Madam to stay with this job longer.

My boss is also planning to send me to Korea to train for this new business. Madam will handle this business and I will be her backup. I do not know if I will be happy or will be irritated of the situation. I would love to go to Korea but I have to go with Madam. Somehow I think I would prefer that she just go there alone as to get a break from her.

3 different bosses from 3 different jobs
I just have to compare the 3 bosses that I already have. The first one was when I was still taking my OJT at Intel in Cavite. The second one is the mainlander Chinese that has a business of selling paper bags, sako bags, etc. from China. The third one is my current boss at the Japanese trading firm.

The first one does not talk too much. He just instructs us mostly during meetings which is the normal thing at Intel. He does not talk much but when something needs to be done, he makes it done. He is Filipino by the way.

The second one is the opposite of the first one. He is all talk and late action. He talks of doing this and that but after 2 months of talking this and that and still there’s no action. This one always lectures me on everything. He would spend around 1 – 2 hours lecturing me on different stuff.

The third one is the average of the first two. He also talks but when there are some actions needed to be done he acts.

I still prefer my first boss. I like the way he works and handles things. Both the second and the third boss are moody. They change moods very often. Also, the second one has a very short temper and when he explodes he EXPLODES. The third one has a much longer temper than the second one. It is also bad when he gets mad.

3 bosses with 3 different nationality and personalities but they all have one thing in common. They are all “malibog” or in English horny. There are so many things that I have heard about my second and third boss but no first hand experience. I have already posted here previously my experience with my first boss.

Rants on my work and Smart WiFi

Rants about my work
Somehow I’m not enjoying my work anymore. Miss goody-two-shoes lessen my Christmas grocery value to only 1,500. All of them got 2,500 for their Christmas grocery. She said that I am just with the company for only 4 months so that’s why. She said that last year she was already 6 months with the company so she got the same amount. She really wants to put down everyone here. There’s also the incident with the salary increase of the admin. The admin and my boss already agreed on the increase and upon learning that the percentage increase of the admin is greater than “The” girl she protested with the boss and guess what, the admin got a reduced increase in her salary.

There’s also my problem with finding new clients. My boss and “The” girl has been telling me to call up new clients and setup a meeting with them. My boss wants me to find clients dealing with steel while the other one wants me to find new clients that has requirements for racking system which the new business of our company. It’s very hard for me to do the tasks. For crying out loud, I’m just with the company for 2 months, this is my first job, and foremost is I am an ENGINEERING graduate and not a business graduate and they expect me to do these tasks! I am still getting the hang of things here in the office and their expectation is already very high. Hay, hay….. One factor maybe that cause me to feel this way because of my personality being an introvert. I think you can not change one’s personality with just 2 months. It will take years and maybe a decade for me to change.

If this feeling of depression against my work will not change, I may resign from this job. There are also salary issues and business trips abroad that I have to deal with.

Rant about Smart WiFi
About a month ago I learned about Meridian and Smart Wifi offering quality broadband service with an affordable price. I went to their website and applied online. It was almost 2 weeks since I applied and still no reply from them so I ask at a wireless center near our house about this new service they are offering. They told me that it is not possible to have their service because we live in a building. After a week, smart contacted me asking me for my cell no. because I mistyped my cell no. and was missing a number. I gave them a number and after sometime, smart called and they will be sending me the equipments for the service.

Problem started when the men who will install the equipment said that they need to install it at our rooftop. The rooftop is locked so they need to comeback another day. They committed after 4 days that they will install, fortunately they came and installed. We also requested the key of our rooftop from the owner for them to install the equipment. They installed the equipment and I tested the connection and it seemed fine. When the men already left, somehow the connection was not good. The connection was intermittent meaning sometimes the connection stops for a second or two. Also, the connection was slow for most of the day. It was faster using dialup connection.

I complained and complained to the technical support and the customer rep. Their customer service takes forever to answer my calls. Fortunately for them, last week the connection became fast and the connection is also smooth now. I’ll just wait and see if there will still be problems.

Golf and Business, Transcendant Class

I'm really wondering how my boss make deals while playing golf with clients. There are already so many instances where he would take the afternoon off to play golf with clients and somehow the deal would be made. hehe. Of course he doesn't tell us that he will take the afternoon off to play golf. It's bad for his image. I better start to learn how to play golf or I won't make any deals in the future.

********************************************

Rebirth patch has already been implemented in pRO. I already rebirthed my blacksmith and now it is a level 78 whitesmith. It was really hard to level even though there was already a x5 multiplier for the exp rate. I guess I have to slowly level it to 99 again.

Almost two months...

I can't believe that I am now almost two months on my current job. I enjoy the job but sometimes like any other businesses you have to wait and I'm the kind that can't wait. I always needs to do something. If I don't do something I would go mad. ROFL!

My boss right now has better temperament than the previous one but this one has also a bad temper. He is also easily influenced by my officemate/sales assitant. I have only 2 officemates here in the office. One takes care of the admin/accounting works and the other one is the sales assistang / assitant to the GM. My boss is a fun guy who loves to shower his employees with food. I get to eat free food atleast four times already. He also bought a birthday cake for me and the sales assistant (we both have birthdays on the same month).

The admin/accounting officemate is the more talkative one. She talks about many things mostly of her personal life (family issues, marriage issues) and also the many things that happend in our office. I am more complasant with this one than the other.

The sales assitant/assistant to the gm one is a more bossy type. She always wants to be on top of everybody here except of course my boss. She wants to trim expenses that she does not need and does not cut cost on her wants. In short, she gets what she wants from our boss. I've heard many not so good stories about this one and to tell you the truth I myself do not like her that much. We have a so so relationship in the office so I won't get into trouble with my boss.
