The job search becomes more or less a joke. Vil got another rejection right now, because he is way to qualified. Why companies can’t understand that’s not all the time about money. Vil is ok to work a “lower level job”,  because for him “work life balance” is not just a phrase and more important then money.

Fuck it!

Yesterdays interview went very well and Vil thinks that he got the job. The final decision will be made start next week when Vil had a “test day” at the company, but for now we like to think that he got the job…..

It’s a funny situation right now. We are totally broke, not even five Euros in the pocket, we are squatting in an illegal house, we have no gas and it’s likely that we will get expelled quite soon.

So it might be that Vil has a good job, but no home for us next week.

I will write this message in German because this is the only way I can be sure that my insults are correctly spelled. I will attach an automatic Google Translate translation in the end.

This is an extension to this post.`

“Hallo ex-Manager,

bist Du nun zufrieden? Ich denke schon, obwohl Du Dein Projekt mehr oder weniger an die Wand gefahren hast, denn ich halte Dich für einen “Soziopathen” ohne Empathie, der nicht mitbekommt was wirklich passiert.

Du bist gut darin vorzugeben, dass Du Dich sorgst, aber als Du die Chance hattest etwas Gutes zu tun, da hast Du Dein wahres Gesicht gezeigt. Deine Kollegen in HR denken wirlick, dass Du Dir sorgen gemacht hast, aber wenn dies wirklich der Fall gewesen wäre, dann hättest Du nicht so kalt reagiert und Vil einfach gefeuert, denn es war klar für Dich, dass Du Vil’s Chancen wieder auf die Füsse zu kommen zerstört hast.

Ok, Vil ist vielleicht nicht der einfachste Mitarbeiter, aber so etwas hat er nicht verdient. Achja, nut eine Frage um zu sehen, wer Du wirklich bist: “Weist Du eigentlich, warum Vil im Krankenhaus war?” NEGATIV!, Du weist nichts, gar nichts…..

Du hattest die Chance ein sehr gutes Team aufzubauen, aber leider warst Du nicht in der Lage zu akzeptieren, dass Deine Mitarbeiter nicht “Deine Untergebenen” sind, sondern Individuen und Teil eines Teams und nun springen die Agents alle langsam ab.

Du hast es akzeptiert dass Lügen als Fakten produziert wurden, Du hast selbst gelogen und glaube mir, diese Lügen sind nicht unbemerkt geblieben. Du hast Deine Mitarbeiter gezwungen gegen Firmenvorschriften zu verstossen, Du hast Fragen Deiner Mitarbeiter mit Lügen beantwortet und vor allem Du hast Deinen Kunden angelogen. Wenn wir dies alles beweisen wollten, was wir können, dann sähe es für Deinen Job recht dunkel aus.

Dein Team ist nicht blöd und die machen Deinen Mist nur mit, weil sie nicht anders können, denn sie benötigen den Job und sie wissen was passieren würde, wenn sie etwas sagen.

Achja, ein Tip. Das nächste Mal, wenn Du mit jemandem redest, dann komme ihm nicht zu nahe, denn Du hast durchaus unangenehme Eigenschaft einem sehr nah, zu nah, zu kommen.

Zum Schluss wünsche ich Dir nur einen einzigen Tag an dem Du Dich so schlecht fühlst wie Vil, damit Du mal mitbekommst, wie Scheisse es ist, wenn Du Blut kotzt, es Dir nicht gut geht, Du im Krankenhaus liegst und Dich fragen musst, ob Du das überstehen wirst.

Wegen Dir hat Vil keinen Job mehr, denn Du hattest die Macht ihn zu behalten oder zu feuern und nun lebt er auf der Strasse…… Super, Du Arschloch!

Indy”

“Hello, ex manager,

Are you satisfied now? I think, although you have moved your project more or less to the wall because I regard you as a “sociopath” without empathy, who do not know what really happens.

You are good at pretending to be careful, but when you had the chance to do something good, you showed your true face. Your colleagues in HR are thinking that you were worried, but if that were the case, you would not have reacted so coldly, and Vil was simply fired because it was clear to you that you could get Vil’s chances back on her feet To come to ruin.

Ok, Vil may not be the simplest employee, but he did not deserve it. Oh, ask a question to see who you really are: “Do you really know why Vil was in the hospital?” NEGATIVE !, you have nothing, nothing at all … ..

You had the chance to build a very good team, but unfortunately, you were not able to accept that your employees are not “your subordinates”, but individuals and part of a team, and now the agents are all slow down.

You have accepted that lies were produced as facts, you lied and believe me, these lies have not been unnoticed. You have forced your employees to violate company regulations, you have answered questions of your staff with lies and above all, you have lied to your customers. If we wanted to prove all that we could, it would be quite dark for your job.

Your team is not stupid and they just do your crap because they can not help it because they need the job and they know what would happen when they say something.

Oh, a hint. The next time you talk to someone, do not get too close to him because you have quite unpleasant property one very close, too close to come.

Finally, I wish you only one day to feel as bad as Vil, so you know how shit it is when you puke blood, you are not well, you lie in the hospital and you have to ask if You’ll be able to do that.

And now to the end: Because of you Vil has no job, because you had the power to keep him or fire and now he lives on the road …… Super, you asshole!

Indy

Vil got positive feedback for yesterdays interview and the company wants to continue with stage II of the hiring process…..

Hello Vil,

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me.  You seem to have a very interesting background that fits with what we are looking for as a business, so we will speak with the hiring manager with a view to moving you to the 2nd stage in the process.  In the meantime, I would like to offer you some material to help you understand us a little better.

Here is a link to the livestream of our Worldwide Customer Event that was held last July in New York. This will give you an overview about our strategy, customers and solutions:XXXXXXX

Attached is also a job description to review and a Corporate Brochure.

We will be back in touch shortly to advise you about the next steps.

Kind regards,

GO FOR IT VIL, YOU CAN MAKE IT!

There is one good and one bad message for today.

Vil just got noticed that he will NOT pass his probation time!

.. and

More important,
finally we know what’s wrong with Vil’s health.

BARK!

Vil just got noticed that he will not pass his probation time, because he didn’t follow the procedures correctly, so “the base of trust is destroyed”. WTF?!

Vil was sick, actually pretty sick, the last weeks and yes, he needed to stay in the hospital for a few days, but now the reason for his sickness is found and all could be good, but… there’s always a but, ..… his company decided not to work with him anymore, because he didn’t pick up his personal phone for a few days while being sick.

Actually his team lead decided not to work with Vil anymore because he thinks that….. bla, bla, bla…. WTF!?

Don’t talk bad about people, but don’t accept everything!

You shouldn’t talk about ex-employers bad, but that team lead is not a good one. One time Vil overslept and came late a few minutes and the following face to face contained five times the threat “it’s no problem to fire you right now”, “HR told me to do so” and “you are here, because I protected you!”. Excuse me please?!

At this time there was nothing to do for Vil, because he had no passwords or accounts and that for more then two weeks, because “Mr. Team Lead” ‘forgot’ them.

Asleep?

And then the “accusation” Vil felt asleep while training.

What could Vil tell you to prove that’s not true? No one else saw Vil sleeping, no colleague, not the trainer, but Mr. Team Lead still insists and continues to bother Vil …….

Maybe “Madame Quality Whatever” should have put her glasses on her nose when sitting, typing loudly while we others try to listen to the trainer.

Whatever, people skills “sub-optimal”.

And what about you “Mr. Team Lead”?  Other than you, we have f***ing have prove that YOU slept while being at work.

Bullshit

OK, I have to admit that there might be was the issue that Vil was a bit way too senior for the team lead. No surprise, because Vil can’t hide his face when someone talks bullshit to him.

Drunk at work?

We can’t disclose any confidential information, but we can say that the team is falling apart. Many left already, others are looking for a new job and the ‘team’ is now an empty shell in utter chaos.

That is very sad, because the in the beginning there was spirit an potential within the team. Actually I feel pity for this “manager”, Vil will find a new job soon, but this guy will always be a very unpleasant person.

Funny Part I:

You can ask all managers and colleagues about Vil and they will tell you that Vil’s attitude and work quality is somehow second to none. OK, maybe a bit exaggerated, but I am no native English speaker! If you want to suppose a different wording, I’m happy to listen. 🙂

Funny Part II:

There is actually no one who can do the job in the moment and the foreseeable future. Vil saw his job advertised on LinkedIN yesterday, means that the market is not covered for minimum another two or three months. Well done, the client will be happy.

Funny Part III:

Vil would love to continue to work for the client, because he really understood and liked the product.

Funny Part IV:

“Mr, Team Lead” forced Vil to use a colleagues login and passwords and when stated that this is against company rules the only reply was: “Then just go to HR, but be aware that I will……!” and that was a threat.

Funny Part V:

“Mr. Team Lead” forced Vil to lie to the customer about the status of the project.

More important!

Anyway, more important, now we know what’s wrong with Vil’s health. Now we know how to treat the nausea, the vomiting and all other discomfort Vil was troubled with every morning for nearly the last twenty years. This was surely one of the reasons Vil was not up-to-speed some important times and we hope this is over now.

Now we can really start, because now we are back on track, healthy, looking forward and this is way more important then to be angry about any “procedure sticking” managers.

Bottom line: Vil lost his job, but way more important he found his health.

Never again ….

[UPDATE I – 17/01/2017] — Vill is still healthy, way better then before, his overall condition improved and now he isn’t so tired anymore. No more nausea or vomiting. The power is back. 🙂
