Wow, you amaze me.

My goodness, I never thought I’ll see the day when someone says they are doing this to test my alertness.

 

Idiot Diva.

 

I know his style, he doesn’t work until I give him full information including the budget, the preference, the profile of the guests etc. Fair enough.,

 

Which is why my first email to the client is “what is your budget”

 

Client says no idea, but just for me to give some suggestions.

 

So I suggested a menu, very simple 3-course menu and asked Diva how much, copying the entire conversation between the guests and I.

 

He asked me back how much is the clients budget.

 

So to cut the discussion short, I gave him a budget cos since he cannot be bothered to read the rest of the email, cannot be bothered to trust me, then fine, I shall make it very easy.

 

Turns out he read the email correspondence below cos the next email was “How dare I lie to him? The client said they have no idea of the budget” And he went and added another 200 baht over my suggested budget.

 

I said thank you for your answer, but if you can read emails, why did you waste my time by asking how much? I only suggested the budget to cut the story short.

 

He actually said he was trying to test whether I was alert or not. And he said he knew I was being sarcastic when I said Thank You. Yay, finally some signs of human intelligence. Not that I was hiding it very hard.

 

I can take stupidity having worked with him for while, but please don’t pretend to be something you are not. This reason is just beyond stupid ok. If you can read the email correspondence, perhaps you can continue reading even further where you see I actually asked the same questions you asked and got the exact answers from the clients. You didn’t bother to finish reading it and said you were testing me? I really have seen it all now.

 

I think it’s really the beginning of the end for me. Not even 10am and I already started the war on terror. That chicken is also another one. I already said that the group request is in very initial stages, that we are still gathering information and there is nothing to report, but she insisted that she must know everything from step 1. Then maybe you should change department to Sales. And the best part abt these people is that they forget whatever they said. She might say she wants everything from step 1, but when you present to her something that is still lacking information, she would come back to bite you and said why didn’t you do your homework first before consulting her, waste her time and all. So what exactly do you want? Step 1 or step 10?

 

Seriously. I’m really really tired with this lack of cooperation within the same team.
