My 101st post, what a shame it has to be a rant. Demmit.
Well, word’s is that the Royale Bintang case is what causing me my job. Hmm, my company might already lose the contract to Royale Bintang system maintenance, hell, I don’t know the details, and I don’t even know if it’s true. The thing for sure is that I’ve already lost my job. Next month, I’ll be unemployed. Demmit.
But if my company really is putting the blame on me, I definitely go against that, hell, ever since I joined this company, ever since I knew Royale Bintang was a client, ever since I got involved with Royale Bintang, it spells nothing else but P.R.O.B.L.E.M. and is it my fault that my company lose the contract?
Well, if you don’t like long and boring story, refer to this post, it was a summarized version of what you’ll read if you continue reading. Heh.
Hmm, the story was somewhat like this, I was told to go and replaced a unit, a fucked up new unit with a newer one, mind you, both are totally differ in brands and method, so, I did. Then the plot thickens, when I was there, I couldn’t see any SSID from any of the new AP’s I’ve replaced before that day. Then it gets more interesting, yes, my company consultant cum supervisor (my self-entitlement to him) was there in the morning and he knew about this problem. Wow. So I did all I could trying to get everything okay again. I found out that somebody, SOMEBODY, had messed with the switches, the cabling were all messed up, and one of them switches were not functioning. This ‘faulty’ 24 port switch was not distributing IP like it should do. Haa, what can I do? I couldn’t make a replacement if I don’t have any switches with me can I? So what I did was, I plug in the DHCP server cable to the remaining 8 and 4 port switches. And it work, with limitation of course, not everywhere could get an access cause of the faulty switch. So, the end result was, I could see my SSID again, but not everywhere. Then, before I leave, I wrote a note attention to the head of MIS there, in the note, it say things like what did I do, and how to use the new controller unit. It was something like this;
{
Mr. X,
I replace that new fucked up unit with a newer unit.
1. go to the login page, choose Local Authentication
2. key in username: xxxx, password: xxxx
The billing is not used anymore.
My signature and name goes here
}
Ah, well, not every word was like that, but you get the idea, heh, and please bear in mind that it was 2am, I wouldn’t call anyone at that time, well, except the police maybe. I knew the next morning I would get yelled at. Ahah. But I don’t actually, eheh, I do get a call though, asking me to go and checked again. It was a Saturday morning, and I was already on my way to a friends wedding. So I said I couldn’t go, I also told them if it’s later in the evening perhaps I could make it, or even if not, I will go the day after.
Yes, I understand their business involved a lot of public, and they would want to save face, but I suggest this, employ an in house technician, you had an MIS division WITHOUT ANYBODY IN IT, what the fuck? And the head, what was he doing? Yes, he did what everybody else would on a free day. What he didn’t do is stop yapping when it’s his ass on the line, yeah, who would like their ass being chewed on rite? I don’t either.
To continue with the story, he then calls, another he also calls, even he also calls, but hey, sorry dude, couldn’t make it, sorry, maybe later. So they take this as a no-show. Now, it’s my ass on the line. Heh. Luckily, my colleague is there to save the day, he went and saw that there were looping at the 24 port switch. Damn, no wonder it didn’t distribute IP’s. So, they say this was my fault; I’m incompetence and am not committed in doing my job.
Hey, ten points. Goddamn. He even told my colleague to plug in back the fucked up new unit. Ta-dah, my colleague was a hero, and I’m a fucked up uncommitted incompetence no-showing zero. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t one bit blame my colleague, not one bit. I mean, he saved me, he solved the problem. I just don’t like the blame that my company is putting on me.
I quote from my post
”And get this, is it not that I DON’T WANT to go, I CANT. You get that? CAN NOT. CAN’T. Perhaps the matter I’m attending to is none important to you, but hell, I CANT. Period.”
Yes, I couldn’t go. I COULDN’T GO. It’s totally different from I DON’T WANT TO GO. Try to fucking understand this simple matter.
While my ass was getting chewed on, he talked bout company would pay those who work on weekend, shit, fuck that, what, you think I thought that you wouldn’t pay that I didn’t go? I’m not the likes of you. If on that unfortunate day, I was lying on my bed naked doing nothing, I’d be happy to go. Lalal lala lala. Ah, well, maybe I wouldn’t be happy, but I’ll go, no question asked.
So then, the company loses the right to do maintenance, and here I am ranting about why I lost my job. Some say it wasn’t a big deal, but it is to me. I’m beginning to like this company, and now this. Ah, it’s been how many years I didn’t shed tears, not even when my grandpa died, but today I did. Twice.
Even so, I had a little something to say, stop kissing so much clients ass, then maybe, only maybe, you would have a little time to look into your employee’s charity. Then also maybe, just maybe, your employee would want to share a dinner table with you.
Anyhow, thank you for all the opportunity given, and fuck you if this is the main reason I’m being lay-off.
