***** SHIT.

The Biggest COMPLAINT I got about businesses, especially those that depend a lot on referrals and recommendations. When something does not go according to how they wish it to, they just get all jumpy, angry, accusing, call-us-names and whatever shit you call it. The best part – THEY COULD BE LIKE WAY OLDER THAN US. Where is the maturity, people?  I have a certain company that I recently came across. They clearly exhibited all of the symptoms above and the best part- they were way older than me. At least a good ten years.  I do not wish to name the company for saving it further embarrassment and plus, the last thing I want is a lawsuit slapped in my face now. I just do not have the financials or energy to handle this kind of shit now.

But I have to let out on how I feel about this company. For they have pushed the limit. And yes, if they continue, that fucking company can be assured that their name and full details will be released in the forum. This time, nothing is barred for since they feel that there are some evil sources out there to tarnish their name, I shall behave the exact same manner since they just accuse without proof. *****is this particular company.

They had supposedly wanted to hold a survey with me to record my perceptions of their new venture. So, as my friend was the one who asked me, I decided to do her a favor and just go along with it. So, came this “wonderful” lady. Initially, what happened to be pleasant and customary greetings between another friend of mine and her soon turned hostile. With that woman, just demanding she wanted to speak to my friend now. As in now. Being in a rush, my friend politely declined. And the lady started her tirade then. “No. I want to talk now. Want to know why you think my company is bad.”  [all of this shit happening in a LJS outlet where there were other people.]And so continued the tirade. My friend was not given an opportunity to explain herself.  

• I understand if my friend has been spreading bad and unwanted attention/publicity about your company and you wish to find out why. But DO NOT DEMAND THE FUCKING DETAILS. Ask politely.
• Important point to note: PLEASE ASK if my friend has heard of your company or your venture first. Do not assume she is the one who dislikes your company. ASSUMPTIONS are the mother of all fuck ups.
• Do not just jump on the girl without giving an opportunity for her to speak. You trying to cower her are not working. She was pissed. So were all of us. And for me, a potential respondent, my fucking impression of you is not positive from the start. And you brought it upon yourself.
• Do not pressure any of us into fucking signing up with your company
• Do not mess up your presentation. Make sure you know your facts. Do not fumble. Do not falter. Do not stop halfway and search in your bag for guidelines and do not just come without your guidelines too.
• Do not go “ oh. My mind is so sanguine. Could you take over” . what type of impression are you giving especially of a company that is established globally and has been in Singapore for five long years?
• Never ever use money as a motivating factor to get someone to sign up with you.
• Do not assume all loves or needs or wants money like you. Did you even find out if I am like super dirt rich or whatsoever? Why will  I need money then? Did you find out if I like this shit? Why do you assume, me, being a student, would fall for the money factor?
• And when I said I am not interested, get the hint and do not talk about me behind my back or in front of me in another language. Damn rude can.
• Do not ask me to come back in five years time, to tell you I do not love money. Once said, it remains. I do not love money despite me being poor.
• And if you cannot smile sincerely, then do not smile. Fakeness does not work, especially in a industry where sincerity goes a long way
• DO NOT FUCKING BACKSTAB by badmouthing or dissuading a person by giving some shit about how friends cannot be trusted and all that crap. Who said anything about trusting you???! And why would one ditch their friends of 3 years for a person one barely knows about 4 months?!
• More importantly: stick to your AGENDA. You only said doing a survey. Not getting me to sign up.

  If you have come across someone or some company that is harassing you or has harassed you in the same manner, take a hint. Either write in to the forum or blog about it. The last thing we need is another poor soul being tortured out there.    

One more thing. Should you [*****] come across this and read it, get a HINT. HARASS US  ONE MORE TIME ESPECIALLY MY FRIEND. and you be fucking sorry. You just get all of the publicity you need in the papers.
