Recently, our old coach was transferred to another department called ABAY (no, not Ebay we're not a shopping site), which is an area where the newly-deployed trainees would be given a certain time period to adjust on the floor. You know to be ready if they get an idiotic customer or an extremely irate one, which made most of the not-so experienced agents cry or contemplate on resigning. So we got a new coach who had been through with so much hell, I wonder why he hasn't died yet.
Anyway, the new coach is ok and very technical. He is a nice guy (even took us out at Nevada Square for a drink after work) and easygoing, not to mentio giving basta 'wag lang abusuhin. Good right?
NOT! During the time at Nevada Square he told us the reason why he didn't want to be deployed in our team. The first reason would be confidential but the second one I don't mind exposing it. After all, this has something to do with me. It is because his ex-girlfriend is one of my friends since high school. So, it is understandable why this is awkward for both me and the new coach.
His ex might think that having me and him in the same office gives her the privelege to use me as their watchdog. No way! I am not a third party software or router that would connect two people who are obviously NOT meant for each other, whose union could mean disaster.
I told my friend to dump him since he's just screwing around but she refuses to do so. I called her martyr and stupid but she still refuses to leave him.
Stupidity or true love?
Anyway, I spoke to him last night and had a talk about that issue and luckily for us, we manage to fix it. He also felt the same way as I did and hated being hounded. After our talk, he instantly spoke to my friend since he came back a few seconds later, he told me that she was sorry.
Good.
Now I can be his subordinate without feeling awkward.
