Dear HR
Little past 11 o'clock, I slammed my phone down with a stone hard face. I had just finished my second telephone conference of the night. Frankly, the conference was futile-too many complications and too much to talk about.
My boss from America had put on his hypocritical face from the very beginning. He said he is sorry to have this meeting in my evening, and further explained this is the pain of globalization. Well, fk that, why don't you take a pain in your ass? Why is it always me? And what angers me the most is myself. My response was invariable, "That's OK." What a bitchy response!
Actually, I have grown accustomed to these nonsense. What my boss and I discussed today was my team's performance. The phrase I despise the most-He is not aggressive enough. Why? Because they seldom ever pitch in during a conference; they are never valiant enough to put their thoughts on to the table. Lend me a hand. You people are using English to communicate. Next time, let's try Chinese, and we'll see if my team is aggressive enough; we'll see if you people from HQ are courageous enough to express their opinions.
Five minutes before the conference concluded, my boss came to me with excitement and told me he plans to return to China next quarter. He is looking forward to his second trip to China. In fact, I really missed the days when he had never been here, completely clueless to China. Well, at least he knew he didn't know. But after a single visit, stayed for ten days, had a roasted duck, he felt like Mr. China Know it All. Now, he doesn't know what he doesn't know, much worse than before.
The other meeting was about a project at the HQ. Managers from China, India, Singapore, Europe and other countries were in the conference. I will hold my tongue on the matters of my Indian colleagues' "perfectly understandable English". It was more than a battle to stay till the end. Finally, the moderator asked if we had any question. This is the utter question that upsets me. If I don't ask anything, all the responsibilities are on my shoulders. The weight feels so heavy since I am here to represent the China sector. If I asked something simple, they will return with a seemingly professional answer with the smallest detail. If I say this project cannot be carried out in China, their response will be very simple, "Yeah, I understand." Then the sympathy drastically shifts, "But, the decision has already been made. So do what you can. Thank you." Well, why on earth would we have this conference if the decision has already been made. What should I tell my other Chinese boss tomorrow morning?
