    Hi Yushi, just to share this update with you: I think most likely I don't have to throw-in the log. My boss has observed her behaviour for himself, he is massively shaking his head and very upset. He told me that, on one of those days (last week) where she text us and said she is feeling very unwell, he actually caught her chilling with some friends at Katong (East area of SG) area while he was meeting a client, also around that vicinity... time is about 6plus. She didn't see him. She lives in Yishun (West/East area), BTW. And, it took her 2 days to work on a straightforward reimbursement sheet.

    I initiated an email conversation with she again stepped away for a personal call (as usual) where she joked and laughed over the phone. She confessed in the email it was a personal call. So I can also use that as a support of evidence, if need be. The conversation also contains her confession on her bad work ethics and also reflects her adamant attitude (the attitude projected when she tried to use another guy colleague's bad work ethics as her shield -- very lame defence). We carried the text conversation such that it's like a Q & A session.

    On the discussion with my boss, I told him that I had talked to her privately on many occasions and tried to help her to improve. He told me that he brought her in with no other intention besides the fact that he wants to give this youngster a chance to change for better. We both agreed that we had helped her at our best but she isn't helping herself.

    Thank you for following up, and giving me guides and tips. Appreciated!

    Person A: You need to bodily be in the U.S. and China at the same exact time!

    Person B: I...can't do that.

    Person A: You're a failure!

    Yes, I *know* people like Person A. They're totally not kidding either. They'are actually SERIOUS.
    Not one word. But I have one description for such people --- Mental patient.

    Just tell that ***-hole, 'Yes, it can be done', then clone another you, and send that cloney to China. Mission accomplished!

    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    You're welcome.

    The staff described in my earlier post was terminated on Mon, 4 Apr. The final log was 4 pages long, giving evidence for her termination according to the terms of employment. That is important because it was proof that the termination was legitimate and the company was not discriminatory in any way.

    I'm working on my next case, whom I hope would be out by mid-May. The only thing that is like clock-work about her is her tardiness (forever late coming to work) and failure to meet all deadlines big and small. She also fails to take instructions regularly, and annoys customers (even long-time ones who tend to be more forgiving) with her lack of graciousness.

    Yes, the annoyed/exasperated/overworked/(sometimes even heartless) supervisor is on the prowl.

    I wonder if anyone actually buy things from reading messages from spam. Some annoying spammer tried to get through the spam filter by using my email to send back to me. Certainly won't buy their stuff or use their service even if it's super cheap.

    After seeing Justin Beiber's three videos being in the youtube's most watched 10 videos list, after reading countless lists of best romantic movies ever made being without Doctor Zhivago, now I really do believe that next generation is becoming more and more soulless.
