cat feces coffee... ( not luwak)

actual kopi luwak bean....RM100 / cup ..


the management had held a few coffee meeting with some staff just before the Chinese new year… Workers and nurses from various departments were invited. The aim of these meetings was to inform the staff about their poor performance and indirectly telling them that their bonuses would be reduced.


 


The coffee meeting reminds me of a film – “Corrupts all Cops”, directed by Wong Jing. It stars Tony Leung Ka Fai (Lak, chief of sergeant major HK police force) and Anthony Wong Chau Sang(Tang , senior ICAC agent). It was one of the non-comedy film done by Wong Jing recent few year. The role played by Tony Leung was actually a projection of a legend of HK police back in the 50s[another similiar film was starred by Andy Lau]. Tang(starred by Anthony Wong) was a corrupted cops which later recruited by another ICAC agent in charge (starred by Bowie Lam). On the first day of his job, he had asked the junior ICAC agents to buy what ever coffee they could get. One of the young agent choices of coffee was selected as it had a taste of cat feces.(not kopi luwak of coz, as the agent claimed that he used it to fertilized his plant) - Tang vomiting on the spot when he drank it....





Indeed the coffee offered during the meeting does not have such taste of cat fxxxx, but it as hard to swallow as the cat fxxxx taste stuff….



No one had seen their own “prestatievorm”(borang prestasi, performance form). No one knew who did their evaluation. One of the therapist had voiced out – “I was never late for work, never reported for any accident/fault during my job, never absent from my job and why was I being rated as underperformed….”.  The reply from the key person(newly appointed you know who…) had replied her that, “ you know, you are attending a course that distracted your focus from you job, that was why you are rated so low….”. The therapist had asked the management regarding her part time schooling during her intake interview and the management claimed that it would not be any problem … and now the management had used it as an excuses. And the worst part was no one had come out and admitted that he/she was the evaluator regarding the poor rating.



The result was a save of money (both bonuses and salary) as some of the staff had opted to resign. Some had opted to play rot on their job – the surgical aides had started to do everything in a very slow tempo (all 3 of them were summoned for the coffee meeting)….



I did not make it to the list and got the bonus cheque as I expected....
