Secrets To Bankrupt A Company
WARNING: The following is from a bitching session. If you are one of those minions blindly loyal to certain individuals, I highly encourage to read on. Hopefully this will give you a much deserved wake up call.
Foul language and cussing abound. Not for those of delicate disposition.
In all my years in the rat race, I have never come across a finer specimen of stooges sitting in management positions than from my ex-job.
Frankly speaking, I’m surprised that the company lasted this long. But with conditions being what they are, I’m not surprised that for the past few months, I have been invited to at least 1 farewell dinner per month.
After much "discussion" we came to the following conclusions of what went wrong.
The salted fish. The company may not be performing well, but at least it was a happy place to work in until this Cheap Farking Oldman came along.
- Results mean nothing to him. Attendance, on the other hand, means everything. Apparently, the highest achiever is not someone who delivers results, but the one with the best attendance record.
- He is a drone who only follows orders blindly from the Tan See (that’s waiting to die in Hokkien). He can’t think for himself or discern whether Tan See is right or wrong. In his eyes, Tan See is always right. Can’t blame him, I guess. When this company goes down, he still needs to crawl back to the undergarment factory which belongs to Tan See to work.
- He is an accomplished magician, though. Don’t believe me? Watch his balls shrivel up and disappear before your very eyes when asked to help with things like debt collection or attending meetings with customers. Better yet, watch him conjure up excuses out of thin air just avoid attending these meetings.
- Customer Services is a dumping ground where any employee who is ready to be disposed of is placed.
- Sales & Marketing personnel also doubles as Amahs to clear out newspapers from the storeroom.
- Can’t find better use for the company’s letterhead than to issue warning letters.
The Market Man. Yup, the man with a penchant of opening his pasar malam any where and any time he wishes.
- His universe is so small that it only revolves around the handful of "experts" whom he calls upon time and again for help in projects.
- It’s also why the technology never got upgraded.
- Doesn’t know how to allocate resources. Departments that don’t generate revenue and don’t require additional resources have more than they need while revenue generating departments with a serious need of additional resources are stretched beyond capacity.
- Start new projects on impulse rather than after careful study. More keen on risky, grandiose projects than the ones that offer more long term prospects.
Tan See. With a name like that, it’s no wonder the company is waiting to die too.
- The company has no direction. Well, the leader leaves it to Ah Q to run the show rather than take an interest in his own investment. What do you expect? Ah Q seems to have her mouth surgically fused to his @$$ so she takes any shit he craps out.
- Again, totally blind to people who consistently deliver results in the company. Instead, relish having his butt kissed by phor-fessionals who only deliver results once a year.
- Has no entrepreneurial skills to run a company. More suitable to head a triad gang than a professional leader of a successful company. The Donald he ain’t.
- In fact, he should be running a triad gang with his knack for making the people he doesn’t like "disappear". I don’t know what he did but the body count is high. The only consolation is that these people are now in a better place.
Ladies, did I miss anything?
