Trying hard - Our new member

It’s been a while…really…nearly to one month.
I always got a good excuse for not updating my blog. BINGO…Caused by the environment, caused by the reality. Work is BUSY…Yes, always busy, there is no ending story about this movie . With less than 3 months experience, I have been trying hard to pick up the role, I try to do it better, I try to understand more what is going on, I try to be professional not POfessional.

Let’s talk about the newbie in my team.

Ah – rith
Worked in the Biggest Engine before, Yahoo! and Google. He used to be the account manager for one of my project. He joined in as a Business Development, and somehow, I don’t know why and how, he became PM for one of my project.

How I rate about him?
Ridiculous….I shouldn’t have give comment about him, but he just pissed me off all the time. I need a good PM to guide us, to give some advice. He did not have any experience in PM role, then he shouldn’t agree with the arrangement that company have arranged. He’s very good in Tai Qi (http://www.kungfuacademy.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=36) He avoid the entire task that belongs to him, he will just come and tell us he don’t know how to do. Just one sentence *I don’t know how to do*. We need to cover his job all the time. I remember boss give him a task, work out a media plan for one of the client, he approached me and said somebody brief him about this and he has no idea what is this about, and he just pass me the brief. That’s all….I found out that this task to being assigned to him, I did told him, but useless. I have to do for him. Is he going to share with me his salary? He doesn’t know everything, WHAT DO YOU KNOW then?

Xiao-man
BBC (British born Chinese).
He is the PM who covering ah Den during her maternity leave. He always said that he will get fire after ah den is back in the office. When he first joined, I feel like he is kind of useless PM. He enjoys life like nothing; don’t take things seriously until he joined in for a quarterly meeting. Somebody in the office rejected my work, and xiao-man is the one who took the stab, he went for the meeting without me (Kimmy is always busy) he back with the upset face, I knew sure got stab by them. He told me what happen in the room. He is now totally difference, he is not as good as Alan, but he has improved. It’s good for him and good for us.
