LC: "Let sit on it first, let me go to the meeting and you go make your Friday prayer and pray to God for some wisdom"
Me: "U know what ? I did last night. As I was listening to the info and looking at the evidences, I prayed. And 10 minutes or so after that, I received a call from Dev#1 telling me that he's car was broken and the floating Sales notebook was stolen!"
LC: "Yeah...but let it sink first. You're too emotional now. We'll discuss further after prayer."
She's always wanna look at the positive side (which is good!). After prayer, I saw TM & BDM already in her room. "Just started...", she said. Asked their opinion, I added some inputs, LC with her rationalization. With Dev#1, "RELIEFED!", so firm decision made; AXED!!! But for AD#1, it'll be quite a waste. And LC also believed that she has the Right People attributes, and she's among the Right People that we want to be On-the-Bus.
As PROFESSIONAL & DEMOCRATIC, argued & justified, decision made; WARNING!!! And what's the strategy for the aftermath ? The risk & options ? It was 4 pm and I can't wait longer actually. But need to wait for CFO to come back from the meeting in KLIA to prepare the necessary docs. To make sure both stayed, I've asked Admin to announce that there'll be a tech meeting (they thought because of the notebook case) around 5.30 or 6 pm, as CFO came back (the whole thing finished around 7.30, and I totally forgotten that Dev#2 & #3 are still waiting for the meeting. AD#2 went back already. Anyway, sorry guys...).
5.30, LC said CFO came back already. So, she called Dev#1 to her room, then I told TM, "Now !". Long story short, he didn't admit it till the end. We need to probe little by little, and detailing the projects and incidents, but yet till the end, he didn't admit it. Just "This is very sad to me." Can't really recall whether he apologized or not. I couldn't care less at that time. Get CFO to escort him, with TM to watch he pack and immediately leave the office. He'll serve his notice at home, no need to come back !
6.20, AD#1, as LC started, she immediately "...I owe both of you an apology...". Again, long story short (one tissue only anyway..) she accepted. We gave her 2nd chance, and I told her that she has to give us a chance also to improve and make it better. Hope it'll really be better after this. "Start fresh, leave 2005 behind, but don't forget the lesson." as I conclude.
8.30, it was just LC & I in the office, I shared that the evidence was attacking on me personally. And that's why I'm very emotional, "..it hits your soft spot.." LC said. She continued "...sometimes, it's better not to know...". Well 2006, SMART, FOCUS, PROFESSIONAL, DYNAMIC & DEMOCRATIC ! Will really working on improving my EQ !
"Thank you God for Your guide & blessing, also for the wisdom for me to carry on further..."
