an excellent proposal


At 11.59 am, 19/05/2010- Writer is drafting his resignation letter. Not that he wants to quit now but who knows he might need it in the future. This letter would be his bridge for a better legacy. People don't realize that He is making a "plan". People don't realize that He is not making a "joke" but a stern reminder. People don't realize his body language. People fail to realize His demeanor.
They might miss him. They might need him. God knows why. Not for His soul but for what have been done and achieved.
He is an excellent Son. He is excellent Brother. He is an excellent Decision Maker. He is an excellent Husband. He is an excellent Son-In-Law. He is an excellent "player". He keep telling that to himself although someone out there is voicing dissatisfaction. With due respect, He Doesn't really care. He is not bothered at all. He rejects rejection. He rejects dissatisfaction. But he accepts increment. He accepts proposal. He will listen. After all, He is an excellent listener which understand what diplomacy all about..
At 1.05 pm, the proposed letter is now kept in the drawer for safekeeping. :)

Mixed Up

assalamelekom,
Dalam sebulan dua "tok" banyak benda yang telahku 'Nanggar" telah terjadi, bakal terjadi dan mungkin terjadi. Hendak dikongsikan bersama, bukan mudah seperti yang disangka. Ibarat menongkah arus yang ber"gelombang". 
Hendak di"Klaka", pasti ada yang jiwa yang gelora. Mesti ada yang menjeling. "Mun" diikutkan hati, pastinya, akan ku melangkah ke depan dan takkan "gostan" ke belakang. Hanya menunggu guruh di langit.
Ku simpan, sakit. Ku pendam, membara. Ku biar, melarat.
"Yalah" kehidupan. Nasib "bait" akal ku masih panjang. Bercakap bila perlu, bercakap bila "pasti".  Bila "perlu", tak perlu bercakap.

What do you think?

1. Mr X was employed as Executive, Security and Risk Management (“Executive”) at ABC Company ("ABC") on a probationary basis for 6 months.
2. When his probationary period expired, he was asked to continue his work for about two weeks pending evaluation of his performance.
3. Upon evaluation, ABC after advised by HR manager who was Mr X's supervisor found that Mr X performance was not good & not up to the standard expected by ABC. ABC then informed Mr X that he will no be confirmed and directed him to pack and go.
4. In accordance to the terms in the Letter of Offer, ABC had paid the Claimant two weeks’ salary in lieu and at that point of time, Mr X accepted without any protest at all.
5. Assuming that you are Mr X, will you file a claim against ABC for wrongfull dismissal? Can you claim that you were no longer a probationer but a confirmed employee because of ABC's failure to terminate you within 6 months of probationary period?
6. As HR Manager, did you make a right decision by asking Mr X to stay pending evaluation of his performance during probationary period? Can you justify the termination by arguing that you as HR Manager is the best person to judge Mr X performance and not someone else because you were Mr X's supervisor!

(For info, the above case is a true story. I acted for ABC and Mr X was represented by well known Big B. I was thrown by Big B with so many issues purportedly to confuse me. Having Big B as my opponent was not a day that I will remember. But I did not give up. I made up my mind and use this simple approach. I threw him back with my own issues. After much deliberation, Mr Chairman who was trying the case decided in my favor. I learned many things from this case, which I now adopt in my daily life, i.e. facts may be straightforward, but we can still find many ways to make it complicated)
