Popo The Bozo

Yesterday was very very annoying.

You know, last month I have recruited a friend to fill the.....................position in my office. Actually, based on his experience, I didnt think he's suitable for the position, but he kept on asking the opportunity and convinced me that he would be excellent to fill the position. So, I melted.
I recommended him to my boss and to my surprise she accepted him without any doubt. I thought this might be my friend's luck, maybe it's his destiny to work with us.

So this guy, lets call him Popo, finally worked with us, I prepared the contract, I explained to him that he's on probation for three months, the benefits, and some allowances that he got.
He agreed and signed the contract.

Three days after he joined, we sent him to Banjarmasin after I gave him some instructions and copy of documents that he might need to bring. Things seemed to run well, he kept on updating me his activities etc.
However he has the meal allowance issue, which is only 20K a day, that actually isnt enough for 3 meal times daily.
I thought we had a deal, right? He has signed the contract which define clearly about meal allowance. If he thinks it's not enough, he should take his salary to complete it, right?
that was 1st.
But anyway, I said to him to charge his meal to the office so he didnt have to worry about the price of the foods there, in exchange, he couldnt claim for his meal allowance. This seemed fair, since he could save up to 800K for a month, although I had a little argument with him about this, but then it resolved.

Later I found that he's not obedient too, especially to me. Maybe because he thinks I'm his friend, he forgets to consider me as Legal and HR. Several times he refused to follow my instructions, and I had to defend him in front of my Boss & my colleague; but as one said before, what stinks will be found out no matter how neat you have wrapped it, so my Boss and my colleagues found some unimpressed performance from him too.

First, we told him to come back to Jakarta on Tuesday, he supposed to arrive at 9 pm in Jakarta, and we expected him to come tomorrow morning to the office. But he didnt show up and sent me a bbm saying he's not feeling well and had to absent.
I dont know with him, but to me who happened to travel by plane to any remote areas in this country, this is unacceptable. Also my boss, she suddenly lost trust, knowing she also been told to go here and there and she never missed a single day at the office unless it was planned or she is very very sick that she couldnt get up from the bed.
not to mention, he is a new employee. He supposed to win our hearts and more carefully about his work performance.

Second, two days after, he came late because of flat tyre. Ok, it happens, although we had some doubts.
but the day after, he asked permission not be able to come to the office due to his daughter sickness. Ok, it is acceptable too, but I asked him to come late, half a day just to show my Boss that he is serious about his job.
He replied OK, but he didnt show up that day.
The next day he also didnt show up, although he told me that his wife has come from Timika to substitute him look after his daughter, so he had confirmed me he could come at night before, and I told my Boss who happened to ask about it also.

But, he lied and he didnt message me at all that day.

At the next morning he finally came to office with sad look and we all sympathized to him. I didnt give him much work but he needed to settle some financial things with my colleague and my colleague didnt quite satisfied with him, because he kinda lost focus. But, he browsed social networks websites a lot.
In the evening, before 5 pm, he bbm me asked whether he could go home early.
I said wait until 5.30, it's official time to go home. But he insisted, and kept on ping me, while I had so many works in my desk. I told him if he really wanted to go home, just said to our Boss, she would let him go. So instead of helping himself, he annoyed me with his pings.
So I bbm him to stop ping me because his pings drove me crazy.

You know what, after a minute, I think I've been unhelpful to him, and I tried to bbm to say again to urge him to ask permission to our boss, suddenly I couldnt find him in my bbm list.

HE REMOVED ME!! GODDAMMIT.

I got pissed off, but I kept my cool head and remembered my intention to help him get the permission. So I said to everyone in the room that he needed to go home early to see his daughter in hospital. Then he finally gathered his f*ckin guts and see my Boss and said bye to all of us.

What a bozo. A childish f**kin popo the bozo.

I really dont know where did I go wrong but I tried to retrospect myself. But I still mad of him and I didnt talk to him today unless some common things. I didnt even ask about his daughter's health.

Wanna play childish?

Let's.
