It's a Busy Working Day Again

Yesterday was another busy day, installation was carried out at the central for js gallery. js is a term that appears quite often in my blog, but this js has no relation to that js in case you think this shop is opened by js.. Work was carried out there till 12am at night.. went there to pick up the workers and end up fuming!! we have a china worker, let's call him wang. the following conversation was carried out in mandarin.

[while packing up the place]
jx: since we didn't bring any broom, sweep all out rubbish into the shop and we'll bring a broom to clean it up tomorrow
wang: no need, just sweep it to the side, it will dissappear even before we come tomorrow
jx: i do not want any complains, sweep it into the shop
wang: [still sweeping it to the side, into another shop's area and ignored jx]
jx: can can understand what i'm talking about? sweep into our shop and we'll clear it tomorrow
wang: [continue to ignore and walked away to a neighbouring shop]
jx: [half fuming] hello, where are you going to?
wang: [walks back with a cardboard box and started to claer the rubbish into the box]
jx: [feeling happy] ok good, later we'll throw it downstairs at the rubbish dump
wang: [finish clearing, take the box back to the shop where he got the box and dump the box there]
jx: hey, how can you just throw our rubbish into another person's shop?
wang: they have lots of rubbish there too
jx: but that's their rubbish, how can you expect them to clear for you? what will you do if others throw their rubbish into your pile of rubbish and you have to clear for them?
wang: aiya, dun bother so much lah, it's late, let's just go.. go ..go

[on the way downstairs]
wang: in this world, there are good and bad people and there are more bad people than good ones.
jx: [very angry] ok then you are choosing to be the majority right? to be a bad person.
wang: [silent]
[downstairs at the road, waiting to cross, red light for pedestrian, the long road was clear]
jx: ok, let's cross
wang: [stand by the road] huh? you crossing? i tot you are a good person, how can you break the law?
jx: !!!!!!!!

any suggestions of how to deal with a person like that?

Sack him! Tell him as you're a good person, you can't bear to see him work so hard, so you let him rest long long. Wahahaha -JL

is he a subordinate or a colleague?

Think that makes it pretty clear what to do next.

Don't think problem is miscommunication but refusal to take instructions. - it's your way or the highway!

yar .. he's a subordinate ... but my company is so small that i rather treat everyone like a colleague. we have asked the agent (whom we got the worker from) to issue a warning letter to him .. these few days he's behaving better. hopefully this will work out and will help him become a better person too!!

i tell you what.... i give you 2 solutions.

1) ask him come my house then you, me and bingwei against him. who throw who bao!
2) tell him everytime he ding2 zui3, you will give his agent 10 dollars less. like that you will feel happier, coz at the end, the agent must pay you.

..shock..sweat..cold..zzz...
