sometimes life is so frustrating.... there are times when u just wanna lift up ur hands and say forget it, i give up. but then as humans we continue to live and fight for whatever we believe or dun believe... we naturally vent, release and live on.. so here i am venting my frustrations about 1 moronic person who is officially the worlds biggest, idiot who doesn't know what he is doing, the most un-organised, moronic (i've said that, i know), stupidest, dumbest, assholic, idiotic (yes yes i said it again), egoistic, marketing manager... yes, this person is a marketing manager, now how this person EVER got this position i really do not comprehend.. the only valid reason i have as to why a person would actually get this position without brains, is by lapping and sucking and kissing every pair/pairs of balls he/she may come across during their tenure/career... makes sense?! an e.g for those who thinks i am exaggerating.. now this person has actually agreed to be a sponsor during a fashion show, now in return the fashion show organisers decide to provide each sponsor with a table to set & display their brochures, items and etc etc to promote themselves... now it's a fashion show, it's a close door event, but a very high end close door event.. now a NORMAL marketing manager would have done the proper preparations (i.e chose the decorations, inform colleagues in charge/request for colleagues assitance) and ensure that they themselves would be present during that day itself... you are afterall the marketing manager and is the spokesperson for the company... NOW this is what this marketing manager does.. This marketing manager approached the sales manager of the company to inform her/him that the marketing manager would need their help.. fair enough... but here is the catch, the marketing manager is going on leave for that date...... fine, so the marketing manager says bring your assitant along, you are only there to represent the company and nothing else.. informs the sales manager the event starts at 11.00am and that all sponsors are required to be there by 10.30am.. simple right?! but suprise suprise, on the day of event, the organisers called the office at 10am, demanded to speak to the sales manager and screamed (and i mean LITERALLY screaming) asking why are there no representatives from the company at the event, why no one has bothered to setup the table provided for and why is the sales manager STILL in the office at 10am when all sponsors were suppose to be at event to setup by 9am... great right?! ladies and gentlement, i introduce to you the worlds most screwed up marketing manager... and yet, after so many screw ups (notice that it is plural not singular) this person is still working for the company... why you must wonder... so do i.. for those who knows the answer to all, please leave a comment or two and educate me... educate me why people like these hold these positions when they OBVIOUSLY do not deserve it one tiny bit.... educate me why a person who is so egoistic, un-cooperative and un-organised can hold such a position... and trust me, this is only 1 of the manY maNY mANY MANY MORE incidents that has happened during my tenure.... for my beloved cousin who constanly hears me vent, she knows what kind of person am i dealing with... therefor, i am quite glad in a sense this marketing manager doesn't work close with me.. but now, i need to vent, because this week itself this person has almost manage to lose my client for me, all for the plain reason that this person arrogantly asked my client over the phone, "how come your organisation is so big and there is no one who is able to drive their car to work, just so they can swing by my office to collect the brochures" wonderful right?! what wonderful PR skills.. luckily the sales team did a quick damage control, can you believe it?! sales team doing damage control and not the marketing manager?! funny right?! sigh.... whatever man... i refuse to acknowledge this person's existence even till the day it dies....
