My Career??!!!

Whad up guys???

I miss to write here on my blog.

I know I haven’t written anything since couple of month ago. Here I am gonna give you some updates about my life.

As you guys know, I worked at the 4 star hotel, the only 4 star hotel in Gorontalo. I used simple past tense “worked” on my last sentence because now I resigned from the hotel, yeah resigned, why? Surprised? Me too!!! I got resign because of my former manager, he forced me to resign. . . I know you guys might think that it is impossible for people to be resigned by force, but lemme tell you the story guys.

There have been a lot of problem in the hotel where I worked. As a HR supervisor, I have to face them all. I knew I could face them all but of course with a support from my manager, HR Manager.

All these 6 months since I worked at the hotel, I have been working very hard. I know that’s the consequence to work at the hotel, working hard. Honestly I really enjoyed my job there because it was all for the employees. Taking care of the employees and making the employees happy are parts of my job. Beside that, I also need to pay attention to the employees, from their contract, their behavior, attitude or, their health insurance, their uniform, their taxes or even their grooming or the way the dressed. HR people need to pay attention on that because when we pay attention on that, the service that will be given by the employees to the costumers are going to be an excellence service. That is the reason why I really enjoyed to work there.

I don’t know how to  start the story why I resigned because it is just too long for me to explain and  you guys might get bored to  read  it. 

Okay now let me start with the hotel and HR. So basically, there are 155  employees in the hotel including the GM. In HR there  are 3 of us there, My Manager, Pak Cahyo, Sri the personnel officer and me as the HR Supervisor. So the three of us are the ones who take care of the 152 employees. And it is kind of difficult job because the characteristic of the employees in here in Gorontalo is totally different with the characteristic of people from Java or from another country. I said different because in here, people just LOVE GOSSIPING. They gossip almost every second and even the topic that they discuss is not necessary or important at all. They will just spend their time, sitting and talking about other people. Honestly since the first time I worked there, I got shock, but I had to  face and live with it anyway because I was the HR supervisor. And I had to deal with  it every single day.

As I told you before that I have manager in my office, an HR manager. He was a nice person but  that’s before I really knew the way he worked. I know, I should not talk about this in my blog, but I don’t know where or how to express my feelings. This is the only place where I can freely let everything out from my chest. I hope you guys will understand after you read this longest story ever.

So honestly, when I worked there, I really enjoyed everything . but, there is but here. My Manager is such a super horrible manager that I have ever got. The reason I am saying this because all these past 6 months I worked at the hotel, Sri and  I always the one who took care of everything. He didn’t do anything at all except came to the office, facebooking or watching porn!!!! Can you guys believe it????????  PORN!!!!! I know it is surprising for you guys, so did I. He is a manager, he supposed to have a leadership skills. But he didn’t, not at all.

He always  asked us to do everything which was supposed to be his responsibility.

First I was fine with it because I want to learn learn and learn because that is my goal to work at Maqna Hotel. But as a human, I have a limitation of patience.

One day, our General Manager of the hotel got fired. Everybody was talking about it and  they planned on making Petition to the hotel that managed our hotel. They don’t want the management to fire him because for them he was really nice. Well for me, I don’t care. I think our General Manager  got fired because there are things that he  did not accomplish while becoming as the GM and I think that was the reason why he got fired by the  management in Jakarta because I know and everybody knows that the hotel management people are smart and intellectual people who have been working in the hotel industry and they know exactly what to do. And I think they did a right thing for the hotel’s future. But the employees, they were so pissed off because there are some people who put gas on fire. The employees made like a pettion and they want the hotel is separated from the management in Jakarta. There are more than 40 people who signed for it, including my manager and Sri. I know, I cannot believe HR people signed Petition! That was the most stupid thing that I have seen ever. They are not supposed to do that. They were supposed to calm everybody down and make the situation becomes better. But no, they signed anyways, in fact they asked me to sign as well. Hahahahaha that time, I laughed so hard. I said in my heart that I am not a stupid person who will sign this stupid petition. My manager  even force me to sign but I insisted that signing petition is like I am turning a lighter in one room where there a lot of gasoline, killing myself. He was surprised when I refused to sign it. He gave me speech and told me that I should sign it for the employees’ sake. Oh my God. I just could not believe he said that to me, may be he thought that I am stupid enough to be fooled.

I didn’t sign the petition anyway  because for me, whatever the management decision, that is for the best of the hotel.

Anyway, after the General Manager left, we  had a very nice, discipline and super wise Temporary GM. He was temporary because that time we had to wait for the new  GM and the management was still trying to recruit the Permananet GM fof our hotel. This temporary General Manager is the best  GM that I have ever worked with. He does everything according to the rules and regulation, in a short word, I loved the way he leaded us and I just wish he could be the General Manager, our permanent General Manager.

He trusted me. And all the HR job, he gave to me because that time my Manager was not there in the  hotel. He took annual leave for a week. I had to handle everything.

One day before the temporary GM left, he  asked me to make a report what he had done in the hotel especially for the HR  Department. He wanted me to  write about his contribution so he will show it to CEO and show him that he worked at Maqna hotel, not just sitting and doing nothing.

I made the  report and I made it according to the fact, I didn’t add more or explain something that I shouldn’t explain. I made it on my PC at the office.

After 2 days my Manager  came and  the  Temporary GM had to leave because he had  to do his business in another branches hotel. I told my manager  everything that I had done with the temporary GM, but I forgot to tell him that I made  the report to the Temporary GM before he left, I just forgot it.

On the 8^th of February I had an argument with my manager  and I forgot what it was. He  made  me  really disappointed. Oh I think now I forgot what it was. It  was just because I told  the truth about something  related to the employees duty schedule in the meeting with another  managers and it seemed like he doesn’t like it. He didn’t want  me to talk about it in the meeting. When we  came down to the office after meeting  he was so mad at me. And said things that I couldn’t accept. I told him, “okay now I am leaving. I don’t  want  to work here  where you cannot support me. All this time, I have  been  working with you but honestly, whataver I did, I always did it alone  and you were  never  there to support me. In fact you always disobey the rules and  regulation and you would just let the employees disobey the rules and  regulation as well and I was  always the one who takes care of it even the employees hate me now because I keep telling them what to do and what not  to do. They don’t like me because they think whatever I  do  or tell them, it was all because I just hate them, not  because of the rules and regulation but because I don’t like them. My entire image is worst in their head and it was all because you never support me to anything that I had been doing. Whenever they do something wrong related to the rules, you will just let them doing it. And I had to take care of it and that is the reason why they hate me.

Now I want to resign from this hotel because I cannot handle it anymore.”

That time he was just silent. He took my resignation letter and he torn it up. He asked me to have a sit and he started to talk. He told me that in everywhere, you will always face problem Nur, no matter where you work and you have to handle it.  I understand about the problem between manager and supervisor and you should not give up for this. It is nothing at all, you should be open minded with this kind of problem”

That time, I was silent and I thought that he was right. I should not give up just because of this problem; I should not run away just because of this problem. I have to face it.

I looked at him and said, okay I am not going, because I still want to learn more here at this hotel. But tomorrow can I take day off because I had never got day off since the past 2 weeks even on Sunday. He then agreed and said okay.

So the next day on the 8^th of January, I took day off because I wanted to get rest cause I had never taken day off for 14 days and it was really tiring.  That time, I stayed at my dorm and just got rest by reading a novel. Around 2 PM, I heard my Manager knocking the door of my room. I opened it and I saw his face was like he got mad at me. I was surprise.

He stood in front of my room and asked me

“Nur, what did you report to the CEO???”

Surprisingly I answered “what do you mean? Which report?” I was confused with his question.

His face change with a hatter face and  ask again

“are you sure about it??”

I said “yes I am sure about it because I never report anything to the CEO. I am no body and I don’t have the authority to report anything to the CEO. And what report that you mean because I don’t understand what you are talking about here” I said with my surprising face

To be Continued cause the story is just too long and I promise I will tell everything once I get well :)

Love you guys, 
Nur
