ASKED TO LEAVE
my 'infamous' housemate was asked to leave the company by my boss yesterday. i heard that this was going to happen, but not this soon though. so it still came as a bit of a shock when it happened.
i have to admit that i prefer not having him around. but there are of course different ways to not having him around. i was hoping that he would get another job (i know that he has gone for some interviews) and he would leave .. you know.. the conventional way (i.e. get another job and resign). but now, he is given 2 days to submit his resignation or my boss will issue him a termination letter. and no matter how a pain in the a** he can be, i actually pity him now.
for the record, i would not have kept him around anyway if i was my boss. he kinda sucks at his job. and couple that with a less-than-affable personality, it is very easy to see him as burden to the department. and his traits are just the exact opposites of the traits required to be in this profession. a total mismatch. but this thing could have been handled in a less dramatic and embarrassing manner. but my boss is not really the most compassionate person in the world either. maybe he has his own grudges on him that justifies his action. i dont know.. but i would have opted a more gentlemanly way to do it.
i had quite a long talk with my housemate today. and told him about many of the things that i wanted to tell him. why i (and the rest of the department) was always pissed off at him. i was not trying to add salt to the wound, but honestly, it's for his own good (i think). someone needs to tell him. someone needs to tell him that there are people like me in this world (who can NOT talk to him for 2 days just because he did not hold the door to the person behind him [and the person behind him was not even me!]). and a lot of other things too.. but most importantly, i told him that this is probably for the better. in fact, i STRONGLY believe that this could be the start of something better. just like me, he doesn't have a lot of people to turn to here. so he needs all the encouragement that he can get. and i think i gave him all that i can.
him not being around will definitely effect my life here. a positive effect, that is (unless the person who replaces him turns out to be a much bigger a**hole than this one. but i think my boss has learned his lesson.. ). now i'm trying to imagine my life, staying in my own 1 bedroom apartment, not having him around in the office. doesn't look really bad actually. suddenly working here for another year seems a little bit less of a bad idea.
whatever it is, i guess i should be thankful that my housemate turns out to be the repulsive person that he is. or else, ada pulak yang bercinta dengan housemate sendiri nanti... (*wink*). and i wish him well. may he find a better job and a better housemate. but more importantly, i wish that he will change - for his own good.
