Week 2 monday, the brands essence promoter whom i always talk to left....so life became more boring now. Although there are other promoters whom i can talk to.....i cant share as much with them....and they seem to have topics of their own. Sigh...life is not too good anymore. But good thing i can still lunch with the Watsons promoter, who's promoting the same thing as me but not doing as well due to the lack of crowd at Watsons. At least i have some company during lunch...and some gossip and chatting company too...heh. Actually...i wouldnt mind dining alone.....cos i do like to shop alone at times....but having a partner does make life more fun too. Especially when the working environment is not that great already... Though i like to work at giant...the high prices of the products were a huge disadvantage for me. The price of my products were like $5 more ex than those in watsons and guardians....but surprisingly....people still bought from me!! Hehe...happy me. But i do get customers who tell me that other places sell cheaper...and hence refuse to buy from me...making my job more difficult. I kept bugging my main company to make them reduce the price at Giant....and my supervisor too. Finally....during week 2 wednesday....he told me that the price would either drop tomorrow, or the day after. I looked forward to that..... Thursday.........no price change.....but still sold 11 boxes :) Friday morning....main company called me to tell me about the california fitness promotion thing. I sounded bored....cos i felt that whatever i was told to do...it was difficult to accomplish. Company asked me why i sound so bored...i told them that it was because the prices at giant were still unchanged...making it hard for me to sell. Company told me that if the prices did not drop by sunday, i shall call them and start working at bedok watsons by week 3 monday. Ok....i said.......and waited for the price to drop............ Backtrack a bit............. Thursday.....had a nice chat with supervisor - FYI he's pretty young...heard he's 23 but he looks older seriously...not cute nor good looking...a little plump....but nice. Conversation went like this Supervisor: So...what do you normally eat during break... ME: Oh....nothing great...went with the other girl..usually go to staff canteen or food court. Any nice place to recommend? S: Dont eat with her today la....i bring you go eat nice things... Me: Serious ah? You can still eat at 430? Thought you just had break at 2.... S: Sure....i have a big appetite... He didnt answer and walks away.... Break time and i left slightly before break time...went for break with watsons girl.......came back and did work... Friday.........supervisor came.....conversation went like this Me: Didnt you say prices will drop by today? S: Yesterday you didnt wait for me to go for break.....i did all these things for you for nothing...(new price labels showing drop in prices) M: wah really ar.... S: Slot in these new prices M: Orhh..... After that........i was given cold treatment and treated as if i was nonexistent Later in the afternoon....got a call from main company that i was to report to Bedok watsons on SAturday.....conversation went like this Company: You report to bedok watsons tomorrow onwards Me: Huh serious? But prices here just dropped! Company: Huh. But i already sent the email to that watsons Me: Huh...then...how? Company: You report to watsons tomorrow Me: Orh... I feel like im being bullied. Sales were picking up for me at giant. Second week sales were sooooooo much better. I sold 18 boxes on friday after the price change...last friday i sold 5. If this continues....i could get a lot more commission!!! Arggggggggghhhhhhh!! After i received the news...i went to tell supervisor..... Me: Hey....im going to bedok watsons tomorrow leh... S: Ok lo bye What the hell. I was freaking embarrased....the other promoter heard this but pretended like nothing happened. I just ignored the response and continued doing my job........after that he freaking treat me as transparent....... I know the cause....it was the break thingy on thursday....he thought i dua him........... BUT.....i didnt agree in the first place and he didnt ask me to wait for him what............i did NOTHING wrong I felt wronged........upset..........bullied.....miserable..............cos i got treated badly when i did NOTHING wrong............why am i being treated like this? Be it the main company or the supervisor.......i feel like im being pushed around....despite me trying to be nice to them.........sigh............... Today at bedok central...i checked out giant....my products there are selling at usual price...no discounted price. Suddenly i understood...........prices were changed just becos i was there.......i kinda felt bad.......the manager there was giving him looks when he changed the price. I felt kinda bad.................but then again.....i have no reason to feel bad....cos i did nothing wrong. I just felt as if i really did something wrong. Well...even if i did....i didnt mean it. There wasnt any verbal agreement or anything.....but if i were in his shoes...i would have felt cheated too.......... Whatever it is....i'm outta that place. Now at bedok....counter's smaller....no big place for me to slack around.....cannot go for long breaks...no one to chat with other than security guard.....customers not as nice as giant's.....sigh........i miss giant sooooo much..........i liked it soo much there....cos i can come late leave early and go for long breaks without anyone breathing down my neck. But here...i must sign in and out whenever i come and leave. Sighhhhhh......live without freedom..... but there's no way i can go back again......i dont wanna see his pissed face again....i dun dare to ask him to help me do things again......dunno why though i did nothing wrong....but relations are hurt and it wont be the same again. Somehow....im glad yet im sad to be outta giant...........i wanna go back....but i dun wanna face the supervisor again............ I wont be able to go back for sure....watsons bedok does have its pros.....more commission cos i sell more of the more valued boxes.......nicer food to eat here.....staff are nice and helpful.....and stock is more limited and more accessible.........not freezing cold............ But sigh......i wanna rant............i miss giant oh sooooooo much...... i miss the company there....the promoters and my lunch partner.......i miss the huge place where i can walk around while im bored...the m&ms i can eat when on the job..the free gifts i get from other promoters............the FOS..............................................................oh well......................seriously...i would give anything to go back.........at least i would enjoy the rest of my work period.....................but now.......im not so sure i will enjoy myself here...just hope that it gets better.......... feeling upset...........and miserable..................bullied...........abused.....cheated............. it doesnt pay to be nice................................... i miss my old workplace............................... i wanna go back..................................... im soooo sad......................................................... |
