In my 4 years of working life and in my 2 years working as an IT consultant, I've never been butchered, killed and kicked out of a meeting room barely 5 minutes into my presentation. Worse still, I've never seen an IT head of a big commercial bank trying to cover his @$$ by saying that I'm incompetent with my assessment and kicks me out of the room barely 5 minutes into my presentation.
Just when you think you've seen it all, something new hits you. I also thought the so called raise your voice in a high powered board meeting and kicking the consultants out of the meeting room only happens in the movies and no one in their right mind would be un-proffesional enough to do it because it's just plain un-professional but I was so wrong. Guess it's weird ah??!! We think we've seen everything but than there's not enough of the world that we all have seen. I bet if I relayed this incident to my parents, they would probably say... "ahhh..... that's nothing..." and they go on about a story in their life that's worse than yours. Guess the chinese saying is true about our parents and people older than us.. "they've eaten more salt than we've eaten rice".
Lessoned I learnt from today's incident, the best damage control is to follow what Ronan Keating says in one of his songs "You say it best, when you say nothing at all". Hob's wife (yes, hob's wife joined the company, but she's cool, not like the husband)said that she was praying so hard that I won't say anything and she commented me on being professional by just taking everything that came. I to be honest was shock at what the guy was saying, that's why I kept quiet because I just didn't expect it and was just shell shock to say anything.. it' not because like I was telling myself to control and not point him the middle finger at him and say "F@#$ off!" but I was like I said, I was just too over shock and over surprise that a Senior Vice President of one of the biggest Commercial Bank in Malaysia is capable of saying such stupid comments just to cover his @SS in front of everyone else on findings from my security assessment that are blantantly correct and true by saying that I'm wrong and to stop wasting his time and say "you're excused!!Please leave!!". To be honest, my sentiments about him now is "What a Moron!!!......" and I shall not continue with the rest because I realised that people ages 21 and below do read my blog.
Later on, I was told by an ex-colleague that this dude that kicked me, my boss and Hob's wife out of the room actually has an issue with people young in age presenting this kind of findings to him and what more a boss who is female and just a couple of years older than me by my side? No wonder we got the boot.
Thoughts are everywhere now on this, bad languages flying everywhere in my head now. Hob's wife which we shall now call Mrs. Hobs actually thought me a new word to describe people like this.... she calls them Morfo.. it's an american slang for..... If you want to know the meaning come ask me only if you're 21 years and above.
