Hi all,
I'm stealing 5min of my working time to write this...to vent my frustrations and release some pressure....
First, I miss all my SB pals. Period.
Back to topic. I have created a nation wide campaign and everyone is eager and ga-ga over it - peeps get to get things for free! While-stocks-last and first-come-first-served that is.....
Fastforward to the end of campaign...as usual, Sillyporeans hogged up the website and jammed the server, complained that all the freebies are fully redeemed, and blasted our emails and hotlines.
Of course we are covered by our T&Cs. But that won't suffice. One particular costomer even complained all the way to the top by shouting and being abusive...
Guess what? Mgt even bother to entertainment him.
That's not it. So come the evaluation. Even internal dept back-stabbed the campaign when they didn't do their parts. Corp comms said the creator of the campaign must carry out the duty of answering customer's requests and queries because 'that is our baby'!!! Wtf?
Now everyone who believed in the campaign started to question it's purpose. People believing it are jaded and weary.
The mgt is a let-down. My boss supports us still....but we are against the mgt and board.
I am exsperated... : (
Is this related to the time u said something abt the customer who blamed you for not emailing her abt what promo then want compensation and then forgot whats her email ?
Some people are really terrible lah. Why let this kind of ppl spoil ur mood ?
Imagine this:::
People missed the promotions...then they turned around and demand that you owe them something.
When you polite imply to them that it's their onus to login to get their freebies, they question you why you didn't inform them!!!
When you ask them why they never subscribe to newsletter, they say they can't be bothered!!
They you ask them how do they find out about our promotion, they say their friends told them.
Then you ask them for their email address so that you can log into their account, they say they cannot remember what email they registered with!!!!
They you ask them how you can email to them information, they tell you you are full of shit they do not want to talk you and they want you to get your manager.
Then you tell them you are the manager, then they say get your AVP.
When you get your AVP, your AVP ask why are you doing this and not the relevent dept??
Then you explain the other dept pushed the complaints to you, the other dept said it's your baby and they are short handed.
Then the issue buah long long and ding dong all the way to the chairman, so the COO ask you to see him with all the long stories.
When you bring all the dead trees into COO's room, COO asked you to sympathise that the helpdesks are just O-levels so you should do their job!!!
So the question is, if a BA is to do an O-level's job, who is going to do a BA's job??
The master student? The scholar?
-pat pat-
lac lac okae... I wont say these are not aggravating issues (they are) but try to put it into perspective and try your best not to let these affect yourself.
Smile, okae ?
Relax la ah neh .. Job is never smooth sailing.. Most imprt dun bring your job mood home.. U will spoil the whole damn day.
there will always be obstacles because humans are not perfect. remember: there is always something gd out of every bad situation
Thanks peeps for the support... :)
Sianz...heard that my HOD has tendered. My Col has tendered too. Things ar falling apart. Big boss is crap that's why everyone is leaving. Damn, now I regret turning down an offer. TMD!
Well, just state that the promotion had already ended. End of story.

How I wish it's so easy....
The thing is, when Big big boss entertain a email, we entertain that email regardless whether we believe in it or not.
Imagine, Mkt came up with the campaign and ran it, feedbacks came in, Corp Comms asked Mkt to handle it, and when it blew up to Big big boss, Corp Comms said it's Mkt fault cos it's 'their baby'?!!!
Caleb, you be my boss la...then all's well!
now my boss has ex everything. So cool. Less work. Same pay. Surf sb the whole day!
i can feel this guys frustration.. lol..
I feel your pain
Poor thing.
Thanks peeps for all your support :)
There are two important tasks for me to do now...
1] Active job hunting; keeping my options open again. Maybe oversea is the answer....not sure...hopefully there are no earthquakes or tsunamis there!
2] Await the announcement of my new boss. Hopefully she is who I think she is. Then at least it's worth chionging!
Fingers and toes crossed!
