EMC Laughed at, Thanks to Soon-Choo Loke

The secretary resigned, and the software sales who's name appeared in the long forwarding path was fired. But the image of EMC was also tarnished.

the moral of the story is the Loke can't even get along, or effectively restraint his own personal assistant.;) It was said the secretary was a senior veteran at EMC who should have known how to handle professionally, but obviously chose not to (by using Chinese and cc 'EMC All' mail lists). It seems everyone can't wait to see he becomes a piece of joke. Soon-Choo Loke had long been known among EMC China employees that he never met with his employees, never met with customers and never met with business parteners. How did he get hired by EMC after being kicked out of Oracle? Regardless of whatever the real issue at stake, where did Loke learn his broken English?

Scroll down and start reading from the bottom, enjoy.

Soon Choo,

首先，我做这件事是完全正确的，我锁门是从安全角度上考虑的，北京这里不是没有丢过东西，如果一旦丢了东西，我无法承担这个责任。
其次，你有钥匙，你自己忘了带，还要说别人不对。造成这件事的主要原因都是你自己，不要把自己的错误转移到别人的身上。
第三， 你无权干涉和控制我的私人时间，我一天就8小时工作时间，请你记住中午和晚上下班的时间都是我的私人时间。
第四，从 到EMC的第一天到现在为止，我工作尽职尽责，也加过很多次的班，我也没有任何怨言，但是如果你们要求我加班是为了工作以外的事情，我无法做到。
第五，虽然咱们是上下级的关系，也请你注重一下你说话的语气，这是做人最基本的礼貌问题。
第六，我要在这强调一下，我并没有猜想或者假定什么，因为我没有这个时间也没有这个必要。
/******** Translation by the Seagull:
First, I did what I had to do. I locked the door in security concerns. EMC Beijing Office had been victim of burglary in the past. I could not afford the consequences if that happened.

Secondly, you have your own keys. You can't blame others when you forget to take it with you. It is unfair to accuse others of your own mistake.

Thirdly, you don't have right to control my personal life. I work here eight hours a day. Please notice that lunch break and after hours are my private time.

In the fourth place, I have been working diligently ever since day one I joined EMC. Many times I worked after work without complaint. However if you ask me to stay in office for something else other than work, I will not be able do that.

Fifthly, although you are my boss, but please have manners when you speak. This is a basic courtesy a human being should be capable of.

Lastly, let me emphasize, I did not assume anything or take anything for granted. I do not have the luxury of time, nor do I see the necessity to do that.
********/

Rebecca, I just told you not to assume or take things for granted on Tuesday and you locked me out of my office this evening when all my things are all still in the office because you assume I have my office key on my person.

With immediate effect, you do not leave the office until you have checked with all the managers you support - this is for the lunch hour as well as at end of day, OK?
