Incompetency...

Sometimes I wonder whether the people we hire are competent to do the job or not! At times, of course, we have no control over who is hired; we just take the person and trained them! Some people are trainable and would be great workers/officers, but there are others who are just hopeless! Maybe, we're the ones who are not good trainers?

So my request over the weekend was:-
1. Smooth the internal concrete walls of my room - do plastering.
2. Paint the room (yeah, color selected).
3. Get a lounge for the room.
4. Repair carpet.
5. Repaint the office door from pink/blue to just dark brown.

Okay - 5 requests, maybe a little bit hard to do in 1 weekend; so I say just do nombor 1 first! Then I go on to say that, when the contractor do the work, ensure that after they finished, that the room is clean. Sounds easy? What would a person with sound common sense do?
Well, he was needed to supervise only; there's a contractor to do the work, so how hard is that to do?! So just speak and its done. What do I see this morning at 7:55am in my office? Debris all over the floor and shelves. Debris in the walkway & secretary work space, outside, etc..

Thus, to avoid further actions (from me!!), I just walked off and took leave today! To cool down, maybe - I guess that's only leaving the mess for my secretary to handle. Yeah, but I got the officer in charge on line just now and gave him a 'great' morning message!

Incompetency or laziness? Ka nganu bendal, kasih ngah meda iya bangsa diri; ka enda nganu, kerja kelalu enda betul!
