Indy’s BLOG – A personal message to “Mr. Team Lead”

I will write this message in German because this is the only way I can be sure that my insults are correctly spelled. I will attach an automatic Google Translate translation in the end.

This is an extension to this post.`

“Hallo ex-Manager,

bist Du nun zufrieden? Ich denke schon, obwohl Du Dein Projekt mehr oder weniger an die Wand gefahren hast, denn ich halte Dich für einen “Soziopathen” ohne Empathie, der nicht mitbekommt was wirklich passiert.

Du bist gut darin vorzugeben, dass Du Dich sorgst, aber als Du die Chance hattest etwas Gutes zu tun, da hast Du Dein wahres Gesicht gezeigt. Deine Kollegen in HR denken wirlick, dass Du Dir sorgen gemacht hast, aber wenn dies wirklich der Fall gewesen wäre, dann hättest Du nicht so kalt reagiert und Vil einfach gefeuert, denn es war klar für Dich, dass Du Vil’s Chancen wieder auf die Füsse zu kommen zerstört hast.

Ok, Vil ist vielleicht nicht der einfachste Mitarbeiter, aber so etwas hat er nicht verdient. Achja, nut eine Frage um zu sehen, wer Du wirklich bist: “Weist Du eigentlich, warum Vil im Krankenhaus war?” NEGATIV!, Du weist nichts, gar nichts…..

Du hattest die Chance ein sehr gutes Team aufzubauen, aber leider warst Du nicht in der Lage zu akzeptieren, dass Deine Mitarbeiter nicht “Deine Untergebenen” sind, sondern Individuen und Teil eines Teams und nun springen die Agents alle langsam ab.

Du hast es akzeptiert dass Lügen als Fakten produziert wurden, Du hast selbst gelogen und glaube mir, diese Lügen sind nicht unbemerkt geblieben. Du hast Deine Mitarbeiter gezwungen gegen Firmenvorschriften zu verstossen, Du hast Fragen Deiner Mitarbeiter mit Lügen beantwortet und vor allem Du hast Deinen Kunden angelogen. Wenn wir dies alles beweisen wollten, was wir können, dann sähe es für Deinen Job recht dunkel aus.

Dein Team ist nicht blöd und die machen Deinen Mist nur mit, weil sie nicht anders können, denn sie benötigen den Job und sie wissen was passieren würde, wenn sie etwas sagen.

Achja, ein Tip. Das nächste Mal, wenn Du mit jemandem redest, dann komme ihm nicht zu nahe, denn Du hast durchaus unangenehme Eigenschaft einem sehr nah, zu nah, zu kommen.

Zum Schluss wünsche ich Dir nur einen einzigen Tag an dem Du Dich so schlecht fühlst wie Vil, damit Du mal mitbekommst, wie Scheisse es ist, wenn Du Blut kotzt, es Dir nicht gut geht, Du im Krankenhaus liegst und Dich fragen musst, ob Du das überstehen wirst.

Wegen Dir hat Vil keinen Job mehr, denn Du hattest die Macht ihn zu behalten oder zu feuern und nun lebt er auf der Strasse…… Super, Du Arschloch!

Indy”

“Hello, ex manager,

Are you satisfied now? I think, although you have moved your project more or less to the wall because I regard you as a “sociopath” without empathy, who do not know what really happens.

You are good at pretending to be careful, but when you had the chance to do something good, you showed your true face. Your colleagues in HR are thinking that you were worried, but if that were the case, you would not have reacted so coldly, and Vil was simply fired because it was clear to you that you could get Vil’s chances back on her feet To come to ruin.

Ok, Vil may not be the simplest employee, but he did not deserve it. Oh, ask a question to see who you really are: “Do you really know why Vil was in the hospital?” NEGATIVE !, you have nothing, nothing at all … ..

You had the chance to build a very good team, but unfortunately, you were not able to accept that your employees are not “your subordinates”, but individuals and part of a team, and now the agents are all slow down.

You have accepted that lies were produced as facts, you lied and believe me, these lies have not been unnoticed. You have forced your employees to violate company regulations, you have answered questions of your staff with lies and above all, you have lied to your customers. If we wanted to prove all that we could, it would be quite dark for your job.

Your team is not stupid and they just do your crap because they can not help it because they need the job and they know what would happen when they say something.

Oh, a hint. The next time you talk to someone, do not get too close to him because you have quite unpleasant property one very close, too close to come.

Finally, I wish you only one day to feel as bad as Vil, so you know how shit it is when you puke blood, you are not well, you lie in the hospital and you have to ask if You’ll be able to do that.

And now to the end: Because of you Vil has no job, because you had the power to keep him or fire and now he lives on the road …… Super, you asshole!

Indy’s BLOG – Pharmacy Miracle… 10,50 Euro saved!

Normally you think a pharmacy is expensive and that you surely will pay loads of money for your pills. Today Vil went to the pharmacy to buy some pills. Normally he uses Nexium, because his doctor said so. “Nexium (esomeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor that decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.”

The pharmacist said: “We don’r have Nexium on stock, but you can use a generic Omeprazole because it’s literally the same substance. The Nexium would be available this evening and 12,75 a pack. The Omeprazole is available now and 2,25. What do you want?”

SERIOUSLY, …. that’s a question? 10.25 Euro saved!

Thanks Pharmacist

Survival Tip: Always ask for generic medicine.

Indy’s BLOG – LIKE hunting Place de Catalunyia ….

Tomorrow we will go “LIKE hunting”!,

we will go to Place de Catalunyia, Ramblas, the beach, Place de Gracia, Gotic Quarter, Born…. We go wherever the tourists are and give out my Facebook Page to collect new Facebook LIKES.

This is a new kind of “begging”. Not asking for money anymore…. Ok, we would take Bitcoin 🙂 and other coins, but our main focus is my Facebook page.

please-like-me2

Let’s see how many LIKES we can make in a few hours.

Exited…..

likemeflyer

Vil prepared tiny flyers with my Facebook page address and some bigger ones we will stick on the walls.

please-like-me

Sure you know these guys playing an instrument insanely loud in the underground asking for your money. We don’t sing, don’t dance or play any instrument, we are different, we just sit there, wait and collect LIKES.

How many LIKES we can collect a day. Ten, twenty, even more……? No idea. We will calculate the LIKES per HOUR and see if it’s worth.

See you tomorrow in town.

Indy’s BLOG – Thinking ….

Vil:
“We are pretty screwed right now. In two weeks we need to leave the room and there is still no real job in sight…..”
Vil lights up a cigarette and inhales the smoke deeply.
Indy:
“We had worse. You remember last summer in Gava or Sitges? Homeless, sleeping for months at the beach, under bridges, stealing Wi-Fi, running from Police and Security, most of the time broke, hungry and the thirst was the worst. Now we are not hungry, we have a bed and it’s warm.”
Vil:
“And for how long? This is no stable situation. I am a bit tired about the uncertainty, the fuckups and all the unnecessary hazzle, I could use a bit more ‘silence’ and less up and down in the ‘roller coaster called life’.”
Vil continues to smoke his cigarette and the curly smoke shadows blue.
Vil:
“I started to apply for jobs all over Europe. Let’s see who comes back to us. Maybe we need to leave Spain and go somewhere else.”
Indy:
“And what about yesterdays interview. That was a job in Barcelona. The recruiter sounded quite impressed with your cv and he said that you would be a perfect match for the team.”
Vil:
Vil is not very enthusiastic.
“Yes, he sounded interested, but who knows? There are plenty of younger and cheaper people out there, which are also applying for this role. All the time I am ‘too qualified’ or the manager suxx.
We are in Barcelona for around ten months and we are still fucked. We lived in five shitty places and I had already four jobs. The combination of stress at home and stress at work is no good for me, you see how that ended the last time. I needed to stay in the ICU, vomiting blood and you needed to stay with crazy ‘Mr. Hauptmieter’. No fun at all!”
Indy:
“If you would have been totally healthy, all that wouldn’t have happened. I understand your frustration, but now you know why you are sick all the time! Now, you are not sick every morning, you don’t need to take so much medicine, you feel better and the power is coming back. Isn’t that more important then having a job?
“You are fucking alive and for me that’s all what counts.”
Job is no problem and living at the beach wasn’t too bad. I miss swimming in the ocean in the morning anyway. “
Vil:
“But we might need to go to a place with no beach, much less sun and maybe horrible food. “
 Indy:
“That sounds very bad, but we will still be together. I promise, that I will be with you all the time. We are together for more then five years, we traveled thousands of kilometers, we lived in Germany, France and Spain and I won’t miss a moment.
I know that it’s very hard to find a good room for us, because everyone loves dogs, but no one wants to house them. You needed to pay and organize all the time and I am very thankful for that. You are my best friend, forever.”
Vil:
“You have a cold nose.”
Indy:
“I know.”
