This round, for the part 2 I am going to share with you what happened between Miss K and the rest of the colleagues.
The 5 Second Presentation
She has been informed to conduct a presentation to a crowd of non-IT personnel and they are sales&marketing on a networking product. Given her a week to come up with the slides, she produce it out last minute before the presentation. Unable to do modification on the slides, my colleague requested another guy to be there as support/backup in case anything arise.
What not. She produced 3 slides, first is the title, second product families and last, Thank You slide. Being complained, she insisted that the slides are good enough. Come on, the audience is not IT-literate. How can she expect the audience to know how to relate the business nature with the technology if she did not briefed them. How do they know what can the product benefits their customers?
Worse still, she even asked the audience to read the brochures for more information. OMFG, luckily the backup guy able to explain more on the proposed solutions. My colleague ended up speechless.
The Audacity Email
Being in the service industry, do you dare to put these lines in your email? You are there to provide consultation and solutions to your business partner and end users. Yes, they may chase you like hell for a proper solution. So what? You think you have right to write like this? “No longer welcome any email or phone call after this. Will not entertain any further request”
She insisted to do so despite my colleague advised her to rephrase that sentence. No eyes to see already lar… you die your problem. Die far far.
The Questions
Its good to ask question. In fact, asking questions will be good to reflect that we are paying attention. However, when one begin to ask silly question (there’s no stupid question) it will irritate not only the presenter but also the crowd. It’s like asking what is the meaning of broadband. Come on, you can search online for the information. It’s vastly available. Unless it’s something out of this world that it’s not common. It’s giving hard time to the presenter.
Have you ever heard the promoter asked you when you go shopping, why do you want to buy this shirt? Why this color? Why this size? OMFG. Please lar. Spare the details. Use your common sense unless you dare to claim you don’t have one at all.
The Responsibility and Sense of Urgency
No.1 is that always understand things have deadline. No.2 is that If you don’t know, asked. Nobody knows what is inside your mind. No.3 Stand up and take your responsibility.
There’s one time when she was being handled to work on a tender proposal a week before the tender submission. Therefore, a colleague of mine whom is her senior keep checking with her to see the progress of the proposal. Yet, she told him that she is working on it. Again at the very last minute, she announce to her senior that she doesn’t know how to do it. My colleague have to press his panic button and yet, she screwed the submission big time. Due to her, we were unable to participate in the submission. Luckily it’s not multi billion mega project. Else, i think my colleague gonna put her on the chopping board and chop her into multi billion pieces.
