i know i said i didnt want to post any rants, but i am seriously pissed..
Ok, here goes,
There's this guy, i will not reveal his real name, so lets called him G, he is a very annoying person. the worse thing is, he is my uncle's so called partner? i guess, but i dont really give a damn about him because i dont work for him.
and the only reason im working in this shop is just to mainly help out. at least thats what my mom told me what my uncle said. i do not know anything about business, or retail shops, or DISPLAY! so this G, once in a while will come over to the shop and lecture a few things, the first few times i understood what he wants. at least i got a hang of it. he always say he wants to make displays GRAND!
last few days, he came again, and you know what?? everytime, EVERYTIME he comes, im doing work, im actually doing work. i have to do stuff like inventory, stock check, and like what items i sold and how many of them, and since all my data was all gone because my external hard disk broke, i had to start from scratch. i had to make the format, and formula all over again, and key in all the item codes and descriptions again, and this shop has A LOT of stocks, and i get dizzy really fast when doing those stuff.
so in the morning i was printing all the sales report stuff, and he came, and of course, i had to pause. BECAUSE of him, and since i bought a new lappy (yay!)
i do it in my laptop most of the time.. so, he, i think, thought that i was playing games, or Facebook-ing, or watching something la. problem is i wasnt, and he starts lecturing, about our space problem saying u have to save as much space as you could in this shop because it is small. and gave us an estimation of how far apart the displays should be, and his conclusion, was as long as they can pass through SIDE-WAYS is more than enough space for customers to cross. after i heard that i was like WTH?! saying we have to be like Hong Kong and Japan countries that really saves space, in a way is Pasar Malam style la, last time he complained that our one area of our space is like Pasar Malam... And now he wants pasar malam?! How GRAND pasar malam is?!
And the worse part is after he came and left, he complained to my uncle saying this place is a mess, and then said that i have been playing on my computer... im not saying that i havent done that, i do facebook, i do play games, i do watch movies / Running man sometimes. it was only when i need a break from facing too much boxes and numbers sometimes i walk around the shop and serve customers as a break time la. And there are also times that i got to finish my work early i have nothing left to do. and im using my laptop... but when work suddenly comes up, i stop what i was doing as a free time and do it. HOW DARE HE! He's not even my boss. im already not complaining about the salary and the no off days. He has NO RIGHTS to boss me around at all..
but he told my uncle i KEPT watching. if i was doing those stuff when he was here and he complain to my uncle, fine i have nothing to say but to admit la, but i wasnt even doing that.. i switched on my lappy and went straight to my work file. and he somemore simply say stuff like this, and my mom was scolded by my uncle. of course my mom sure scold back la. my mom wont let anyone else bully us. hahaha...
and he expects so much of us like he freaking pays us! he doesnt even know that i dont have an off day, and he certainly dont know my salary, why should i work so freaking hard?? now the situation is, uncle owns the shop, but he doesnt know much about the stuff here, and its like i own the shop, but its not mine, i had customers asking how i achieved a shop like this at such a young age.. what the heck, is that even possible for me? LOL. or whenever my mom is here they thought its my mom's.
There are times i dont know what to do with the pile of stocks they ask me to order, because it was too huge for me to handle, and i somehow, Thank God, got through it, without a bit of help from my uncle. how can he now, take some man's word and thinks that i am like that?! and it was 3 mountains of stock, when i say mountain, i meant like as big as 3 statues of someone much taller and bigger than me. i had to do it all by myself, boxes after boxes, and of course, i only had 1 staff then, but when it came he was on leave. and my cousin that came wasnt much help, because all these are unfamiliar to them, which i dont blame them at all when i thought about it, at first i have to admit i was a little annoyed, but come to think of it, i cant blame them either. anyways it took me 3 days to finish everything. that was how bad it was.
I seriously would like G to come and manage everything on his own, with my pay, with no off day for half a year, at least... and with no knowledge of all these stuff. lets see how easy it is for him. and if he can treat customers the way i treat them.. most customers come back because they like the way my staffs, my mom, and me serves them. to the extend that when G came last few months ago, he thought that the customers was our relatives, im not bragging. but that is really how i trained my staff to serve customers, and how good we treat them.. i should run a restaurant instead. =p
i have so much to do, my cousin who thought that i just come in and open shop and then im free to do anything i want, when she knew i had to do so much she also taken a back. and she said she had no idea that i had to do all of these. i have friends asking me out at night but i cant due to my working hours, and when they asked, i explained, and all of them said the exact same thing to me, "girl, you have to sue your uncle."
even on CNY, my other cousin's wife knew about my working condition, and she was shocked, and she said it was unacceptable. and when other relatives said to her, "Aiyo, relatives ma, must help out lo.." she replied with a "SO WHAT?!"
I am not trying to show how good am i or saying its not my fault for anything, but its just that i am pissed that, when i do something wrong, he complains about it, even scolds my mom for it. but when im working as hard as a cow. he doesnt know, and he doesnt care. my thinking is if he only knew how hard i worked, would he still agree / stand with his partner G?! since as a family, i helped you out, shouldnt you also as family have full trust in me that i only do those stuff to have a break? or just to relief stress sometimes. why do you only take the bad stuff that people say about me, but never care for the good stuff i do? why others can see it, but you cant? if you want someone to be so freaking perfect, hire someone else to do my job. other relatives said that by hiring me, he picked up gold, as in, where in the world would someone take this kind of job, with this kind of pay, and with no off day?
i feel much better.. hahaha.
