Today marks my I am-so-drowning-with-work and I was so close to quitting. Thanks to this former colleague that made my life miserable. This guy I am talking about, we used to work together in this campaign. He had a few slip ups and the bosses decided to boot him out as he was no good after all. He was more of a liability than a mere asset.
I thought we won't be able to work with him anymore, until today. Today is my lucky, lucky day. A case re-surfaced due to his carelessness. And it was not a minor case. It kind of blew out of proportions because he carelessly put an entry on a different line item. In short, line 1 entry should have had the details of this customer but instead, he put it right below it. So, it just screwed it up.
I ended up cleaning his shit the entire day, doing the liaison here and there. Sending emails one after another. I resorted to taking up the case in my own hands to handle what was mishandled. Everything seemed to have been fixed already. I just need to monitor and make sure that this solution is carried out flawlessly.
I don't know why I did it. It's definitely not because of love. I think the main thing is he's Filipino, too. Deep inside me, no matter how irritating he is to me, it all boils down to helping him out. I didn't want to be the hero, I just wanted the case closed. Not because I wanted him to realize how dumb he was, which is the truth but hey, he just needs to do his job well and take it seriously. He just knows how to brag, but he sure has nothing to brag about.
I just hope he learns a valuable lesson over this. I hope he takes this opportunity to improve himself more and take it all in for the better.
After all, he's Filipino. He's one of us. I hope he prides himself of this fact.
