Letter to my BENEFACTOR

Dear Ms Kold,

Thanks for your "guidence", "help" and "mentoring" over the past 2yrs I was under your "care" where I've had enjoyed countless invaluable lessons.

I especially enjoyed how you :
1. sent emails without clear & concise instructions, resulting in me having to re-clarify.
2. sent emails without proper punctuation, grammar or spelling, wasting much time for both parties.
3. laugh heartily whenever I go to you with a problem which I was not able to solve.
4. never offered any advise besides sarcasm when approached for your views on matters.
5. never seemed to give others the basic respect by looking at them while they are talking to you.
6. does not share the "big picture" with the team, resulting in plenty of doubts amongst us.
7. does not enjoyed being questioned about the rationale of doing certain tasks assigned to me.
8. does not provide us due guidance and only know how to lay blame when things screws up.
9. scolds us via email and CC your boss whenever Pt. 8 happens.
10. implement scripts, updates, etc on the domain without informing the team, resulting in confusion when users feedback about errors arising from these actions.
11. did not attempt to share information with the team when you discover something is wrong with the servers under our team.
12. does not shield us and instead "stab" us in the back to your boss(es).
13. seemed to have a natural flair for getting your subordinates who weren't up to your standards to "voluntarily" resign.
14. embrace double-standards when dealing with users, especially those who ranked above you. for the rest of us, you treat us like nobody.
15. use your position to influence your BEST FRIEND the Snr Mgr to implement systems or policies which may be stupid, useless and most imptly, wastes time.

The list of accolades could go forever but I shan't bore you with too much. I'm just feeling kind of sad that I'm going to leave your team for IT Security. I'm not too sure if I can still keep up with my "fighting" nature once I'm over there. One thing I know for sure which makes me extremely sad, whoever I'd be reporting to over there, he/she ain't going to follow the above 15 pts I've listed.

Well, I guess I'd not go on much further as I wouldn't want tears to well up in my eyes, it'd be unglammed...

Once again, THANKS for your invaluable teachings over the past 2yrs. I shall miss working with you.



Yours Sincerely,
Uncle Law


PS : Sorry to have replaced your actual surname, Koh with Kold. Kold is a nickname we've given you due to the "Cold" outlook you've portraited.
