heavenly intervention or otherwise seems to be the tale of the day. it was my off day today which means I didn't have to face the fucking supervisors, I didn't have to wake up so early in the morning, I got longer hours of sleep and I didn't have to put up a false front in front of the customers.
anyway, I have this feeling that serene, my supervisor, is unhappy that the freshies are already earning their commissions. when I told her that I could start my own sales that day, she was in disbelief and called up the manager to ask if it was true. she had made such a hoo-haa out of it and was talking behind my back with the other compatriots. I'm not making this up out of baseless assumptions. neither am I trying to make wild accusations about her. before one of the compatriots left, she patted on my back in a comforting way while saying, "don't worry, they were just joking."
before I could even finish my sentence to ask what were they joking about, she just smiled and walked away. then all of a sudden my colleagues, including the supervisor, became so hardworking and eager to serve customers. cheeeeebyeeee.
the next day, the manager came to check on the workers and looking at serene, he commented, "wah, serene is so busy..."
"yalah, now got competition already what," she replied.
I was near them when they exchanged words and I was like cursing her under my breath sak. all she did before this was just linger around and letting the freshies do the work, knowing that whatever items sold the commissions go to her. motherfucker. and I thought supervisors are supposed to guide the workers, aren't they?
I'll be working 9 days straight till the new years arrives and there's never a day that I won't be facing the so-called supervisors. so that completes my misery.
