shocking monday

the atmosphere in the office on a monday morning is not so typical today... no monday blues... but highly intensed.

what started as a normal monday morning turns out to be one of the most shocking day in my career! my finance manager got terminated of his service this morning... without any warning... not verbal or written... think no one in my office expected it. yah... he wasn't doing a good job, he was always late, he fall asleeps in meetings, he is defensive when he makes mistakes, he doesn't have computer skills (i.e. a finance mgr that doesn't know how to use excel!), he wasn't the most popular person in the office... BUT, we didn't think that was the way to treat him... he probably doesn't think that he was in the wrong at all (old and in denial)... so while i was also one of those who complained abt his work, my boss has always defended him to everyone... to the extreme that we give up complaining! so instead of giving him a warning letter or verbal counselling, they just shoved him the ultimatum - the letter of termination.

quite pity him lah... when i thought of a 60 year old man, driving in the heavy rain this morning... angry and shock of his sudden lost of job... i don't know how to describe, but it was not something we want to happen... it is worrying coz who knows if it will ever happen to me
