Interesting Bites

I’ve not been blogging much of late - my work has been over whelming, and when you have incompetent people working with you (or they are just completely lazy!) , you tend to be overworked from trying to cover up things that people are not able to finish.  I’ve gotten to the stage that I am completely tired, overworked and I just need a good rest.  I feel like I’ve worked for eternity because I’m handling a job scope of 3 - 4 pax!

I am still looking for a suitable marketing executive to assist me in taking care of the asia pacific business - which is pretty monotonous and manual.  Its getting very tiring trying to be everyone’s personal assistant, and trying to put my thinking cap to strategize plans towards promoting the products.  Its not easy to be doing everything for 3 different portfolios.

To add to all that, we have an incompetent business partner to handle one of our events.  I had a heated argument with the so called “business development director” recently over her choice of telesales personnel that she has sent for training.  How in the hell is a 18 year old going to sell a conference of RM6,000?  Some people have big sounding titles but a bird brain, really.  I am losing confidence in this business partner, though my boss ‘believes’ that they are capable.  I have said that we should go for a professional whom have proven themselves (I have someone in mind..) but he said that this 2-man-show has got ‘good idea’ and can do it.  I am not sure to what extend, but from day 1 until now, everything is my work!  What is their contribution, only God knows!
