I think the HK office is in full face save meltdown mode. The call was uglier than the last. I think it dawned in them that their team is losing a lot of autonomy which is a huge loss of face, apparently. Eustace was ... Super unprofessional on the call. I expected some sort of weird officey knife I'm the back but she got [I]shrill[I] and her nice HK accent that sounds super British turned into like.. a caricature, her English deteriorated as she kept going. Lol just lol at my life now.

Dude, you can't go over there with no superpowers to fire the living hell out of those shits. Get a carte blanche to weed out the person responsible for this. Nobody expects the spanish inquisition.

I gotta agree with JaucheCharly here. Was the call recorded? Did it happen with your manager? Is there any way to get that team removed and rebuilt? I honestly have no idea how any information from HK is ever going to be accepted again.

Also, you could've gone down on the poor woman if she didn't finish, I'm starting to think you're not much of a gentleman at all.

Oh, this happened with my manager on the line which makes it all the more sweet and insane for me. We were bug eyed at each other since we took the call on his polycom. I knew that something like this was going to happen because she doesn't even need to work, her dad is someone senior in the company albeit in a different division as to "prevent nepotism." All I could think about was the video of the HK girl berating her boyfriend and he's like gently caress you rich HK girl. The ball is firmly out of my court which is sweet. Oh, and if I trusted any goon whatsoever I would recommend them for a position but I'm terrified of doxxing and general goon weirdness, so, sorry goon who keeps wondering about a job.

Glenn I am just amazed that you successfully avoided getting torpedoed by chabuduo AND came out looking reasonable in front of your manager. Of course, if this girl is really well connected, I just hope they don't decide to sack you and your manager to avoid having to fix HK

Wouldn't it be easier to simply have a real HK office, and then a fake one that exists only to give the relatives of well connected execs something to do without causing any damage? I assume that this happens a lot. It's possible you got the branches mixed up by mistake.

Of course, if this girl is really well connected, I just hope they don't decide to sack you and your manager to avoid having to fix HK While I feel like I stymied the onslaught of the initial fuckup, I think I really need to be on my A game and like posters have already said --- obsessively document things. My daily to-do is already nearly two pages of things that I Must Get Done otherwise my week will suck dicks. I'm not too worried about her VP or MD daddy in HK though. I work out of the head office in NYC and anything else is subordinate, or I should say -- doesn't have any jurisdiction. The really funny part of all this is that I'm doing this as a favor and a side project. This isn't my "real" work. I'm just a good coordinator and communicator so it seemed like a right fit. Come review and bonus talk, I'll have some ammunition unless I'm wildly incorrect and HK Daddy is like head honcho or something and I get a good, proper assfucking/firing.

She's also old enough that she won't be begging you for marriage or stealing your used condoms or whatever, and you decide you don't wanna bang her again. The girl I always post about, Chaoshan Girl, is my best friend here now, and whenever we get together for sex she is the best sport and most regular, and she can hold a decent conversation before and afterwards. She isn't a fancy dancer, but she's sweet and is worth the time. That's why I don't really care about these others. If I didn't have her, I would try harder. She's the closest I will come to getting a girlfriend here this time, and she will probably come hang out with me in India later.

Haier posted:LOL. I know. I did go down, but she's a screamer and that is like kryptonite to me, especially when people are hanging around in the hallways and eating lunch since it was noon. I don't care if she screams a lot at her house, but as the only foreigner in this side of the building, I do care since I have to be here and make eye contact with people in the halls every day. This is the rare situation where I have less shame than Haier I would want her screaming "Holy poo poo, El Groucho is gobblin' on this pussy like some sort of goddamn badger" and then smile like an idiot at my neighbors

haier can I point out that some of your health stuff is almost as bad as TCM? maybe you have crohn's disease or IBS? "I ate soy on an empty stomach, so it logically follows that I poo poo diarrhea so hard that it covered my shins and pants and I had to take a shower instead of wiping," that is like TCM-level "因为。。。所以“ fallacy
