ToRtuR-inG..menTALLy.

this is the real story happened in the network team..how the monster manager torture this network guy mentally over the years..

last few weeks, there was a network slow problem, which apparently impacted many critical applications.. and this is how we got to know abt this network guy being mentally tortured by his manager..

The manager immediately walked into our French boss's room and asked him to fire this network guy.. and this network guy also being called or he himself went to this french boss's room to explained that the problem was not fully his fault.. it was more to infrastructure failure..

so.. one day, my boss happened to be at their building.. and met this network guy drinking coffee at pantry.. so talked to him regarding this incident.. this network guy poured his heart out to my boss.. said he has been working in this company for more than 3 years and almost every month he received email from his manager telling him.. "this is ur last month".. probably means he needs to perform.. else off he go.. so the manager is trying to see him making major mistakes so that he can have excuse to ask him go.. people been saying that the manager always shout at this network guy..

he is at his mid 30s and single..with the network experience.. i wonder why he still wanna stay and being bullied like this ???

this weekend we will have a major power shutdown, so my team needs network team to do some coordination for the network as network is the most crucial part.. if network cant be up.. the whole bank will be in deep shit !!.. and when we assign this task to the team.. the manager sent email to this poor network guy which goes something like this..

" im giving u chance to prove that u r worth staying back... u better make sure u done a proper coordination..if this simple task u cant do.. i cant see how i can assign u with any in the future.."

the email was sent to this network guy and the whole of network team.. HOW EMBARASSING..

then this network guy .. i thk he must have been very frustrated & cant think straight..he replied to the manager, the whole of network team, my manager as well as my whole team..

" im currently too exhausted. Kindly assign this task to other more capable team member to carry out."

WOAH...when we received.. already we waiting anxiously for the manager's reply.. cos he now completely "NO FACE".. cos we all know now..how he treat his own team member.. so harsh..

then he replied.. as expected.. not that harsh (as he needs to maintain his image) ..

" u r not the only one exhausted. all other team members r. u r the luckiest.
Im assigning this task to u. make sure you carry out without fail and other team members will assist u. will hear from u on ur plan this friday"

We were talking abt this during lunch with my boss n JL..we all see that the manager is hoping the network guy to fail.. and he assign this task to him on purpose.. anyway.. my boss is kind enough to say.. we shall assist him whenever we can.

OF course.. cos my boss also dun like the manager.. haaaaa..

so.. this internal politics.. is making other team members laughing them off..so unfortunate to have a boss that dun side u..dun support u.. wat's more .. trying all ways n means to get rid of u.. sigh..
