NERVE GRATING!

It grates on my nerves these days ordering from one of the premier food catering companies, in Singapore.
A sales executive called May from that particular company cannot make it at all!
Reasons for my anger:
1) Sent an email for order, took me 1 week and 2 phone calls for her to get back to me.
2) And when she got back to me, after so late, she asked for certain details of my correspondence, gave them to her, took me another few days and calls for her to respond, and when she did, she got the particulars wrong!
3) She got my name wrong despites constant and repeated reminders that I do not have another surname after that.
4) And I must tell you that her email to me does not have any personal thing message at all, just repeat the computer thinggy here and there so much so that all her emails to me are all identical despites my anger has risen to such a certain extent and has reflected that in my email. She simply does not want to apologise but simply repeat the same computer statement again.
5) And when I asked her to change certain items of the menu, oh my god, she changed an item to another item I did not even know, this was my last straw!
The company website only has the email of the sales personnel, no email of the managers of the company. I could have sent an email to the company's managers to ask them to wake up their ideas, their staffs, but even the top management seem to hide.
What kind of stupid customer service staff this so called catering company which is in one of the top in the local scene has? It boils my blood and totally destroys the image of this supposedly good company in my eyes.. in future, I will condemn this catering company!
I am a nice and patient man, but sometimes, those irresponsible and simply bocha service standard really boils my blood... these irresponsible and bocha customer service staff should be SACKED and the managers should have their manager emails in their websites for customer feedback. It is damn shocking to discover the worst secret, the hidden laundry of this top catering company in Singapore. Shame on this May, Shame on this catering company!
Management should be at fault too if it loses customers due to this bad sales executive called May because it is sleeping!
And I can tell you this is not the first time I encounter this, lots of customer service, from those quality standard organizations are simply playing 'tai-chi' and I think playing computers behind the counter, refusing to expedite on customers' request. Where is the GEM (Go-the Extra Miles) movement, all these look good on paper, but it takes a common man just ONE encounter and he can know that not all companies walk the talk when it comes to quality service.
It is super sad, that certain sales, service staff cannot make it. Please do not misunderstand me, I am not generalising my bad encounter.. the problem is I HAVE ENOUGH of rubbish customer service here and have also heard quite a number of stories!

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
