i was crawling the net to search if anyone has the brief mention of Sooma, and I chance upon the blog of my newest employee, who is also now on the list of people whom I'd fired.... He thinks I deliberatly reads his blog to find out how he feels.... Way too highly of himself.. This is what transpired between us..

[Me]: Hi Ivan, just read your blog… Whinning on the net is not a solution…. Here’s my respond..

I AM ME! NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND, NOT YOUR SISTER, NOT JESPER NOT MARC!!!!!
[Me]: NOTE: We never wanted you to be our boyfriend, sister nor Jesper and Marc. We only wanted you to adapt to the work style in Sooma and be part of the family…

argh!

i lack the desire to learn is simply because i learn slower then others.
[Me]: You did not highlight that in your job application form…

NOTE: I AM MYSELF NOT ANY TOP BARISTA.
[Me]: I am and want to train you into one…. But if you’d noticed, you had not touched coffee though you have been with us for 4 weeks. My other staffs learned coffee on their second week of work.

1. Be polite to me.
[Me]: Name me an occasion when I’d not,,,

2. Say thank you after asking me to help.
[Me]: Name me an occasion when I’d not,,,

3. wanna say things about me? tell me straight, don't ask people loudly around me. it's NOT NICE. IT'S BITCHING.
[Me]: If I’d to ask you in your face, tell me, how will you react other than sob? (which you did). There are not many around, only your mentor and manager. Shall I not ask them, ask who?

4. i don't like to be bully nor to be maligned.
[Me]: I’d mentioned, my style, I throw you into the pool and you learn to swim. You are fortunate, that there’s Jes and Marc to guide you. When they first started, no one’s there to guide them. So you feel you been maligned, take a look into the mirror. I just can’t comprehend how one can’t just a simple marmite toast after 4 weeks.

5. APOLOGIZE TO ME FOR SOMETHING YOU HAVE DONE AND I TOOK THE EMBARRASSMENT.
[Me]: Name me the incident. If it’s valid, I’ll apologise.

6. I DON'T TAKE BITCHES AS FRIENDS.
[Me]: I do not take whiners as friends too… Especially those who talk too much… Learn to do the work before you think I will party with you…

7. I DON'T LIKE BEING CALLED TO DO THINGS LIKE A DOG.
[Me]: Neither do I like to treat you as a dog… But what have you accomplished thus far? Nothing….

8. ASK ME NICELY AND I'LL BE NICE.
[Me]: So I’d been a fucking jackass and treated you like no being…? Name me an occasion….

9. DON'T IRRITATE ME.
[Me]: But you are irritating all of us….

10. IF YOU'RE NOT HELPING THEN SHUT THE FCUK UP.
[Me]: Same applies to you

argh.

don't send me a long winding message and hope that i'll improve.
[Me]: I never wanted to send you that message… It’s Marc’s job. It’s severe that I have to do it…

that'll never work.
you wanna help me?
then teach me.
not tell me.
if not why do we NEED TO STUDY?
WHY NEED EXAM WHEN I CAN JUST TELL YOU THE ANSWERS?
WHY DO I NEED TO LEARN?!
ARGH!!!!!!!!

this job is messing with my head.
Like ben said. if i can't stand it any longer just say "pay me the money and bye bye"
[Me]: I am ready to do that…

why can't people just learn to teach people instead of instructing them?
is that what they learn from their school?
instruct people?
where's all the theory? where's all the physical work?
might as well hire a robot. not Ivan lim. there's no such robot in our system.
[Me]: Look, as feedback from your mentor and manager, they have dealt with you the hard and soft way… You are just not doing it right. So instructing you is their last resort. I’ll kindly advise you to do a check back with yourself and “look into the mirror” before you question and maligned others of mistreating you.

again, my talent is to multimedia. not making food or drink.
[Me]: Ok, go back to multimedia… Which I was from and really have huge doubts in you… prove to me.. Which leads me to think…. Why even bother to apply for this job in the first place…. Total waste of everybody’s time….

i learn to serve the customer better. not feed them.
[Me]: I want you to befriend them, not feed nor discomfort them…

i was a waiter/server not a cook/bartender.
[Me]: Which we all took pains to guide you…

i'm looking for a job that makes use of my skills, not force me to take up cooking/bartending skills.
[Me]: Then you better leave….

PS: if you're reading this, please note that i'm extracting all the anger i had in work for the past few weeks.
[Me]: PS: On behalf of all of us in Sooma, we have the same frustrations with you….

NOTE: i don't like people to gossip about me. neither did i gossip about them.
[Me]: Why do we need to gossip about you? We hardly know you? And we hardly gave you the opportunity to know us cos you can’t perform!

Gahh, i wish i'm working in a office doing multimedia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Me]: Please….. GO! If you seriously think that way. By the way, this email is CC and BCC to everyone in Sooma. If you seriously think you want to learn, like you’d said during your interview, I’ll hope to see you on Monday and await that you prove yourself. Else, it’s really goodbye.

[Me]: PS: Have you ever wondered why everyone shakes their head when you did anything??? I did not instruct them…
[Me]: PPS: WAKEUP!
