No Action, Talk Only
There comes a point where people who just keep talking and talking end up being thought of as useless as the everyone knows it's easy to speak out. Ask that same big mouth to do it, and it won't get done as actually moving their arse to get it done will zap them of their full tank of energy. They will, however, spend that little bit of energy, raising their hands to point a finger to assign someone else to get it done... and amazingly this movement can be done faster than their big mouth can open.
Then there are people who say they will do it, and in the end, they do get it done, or get it done too bloody late. Why bother really, if you can't do it or won't do it in the first place, don't make promises. Don't offer something you can't deliver, and if you did, at least APOLOGISE to those you've let down. Don't just pretend nothing happened, or that no one informed you, or that you didn't get the messages when you can reply to a later message pertaining to the same item.
If you get things done, but much later than the deadline, don't expect people to use your idea, especially one that has no link to the project. Don't think just because it's an interesting idea that we HAVE to use your idea. If it is submitted late, it might as well not have been submitted at all. And why so? Because the whole project might have been completed by the time your submission was given, and why should anyone change the whole project just to fit your CUT & PASTE idea?
Well the good thing out of all this is that there is a presentation to be done. Presentation means you have to talk it all out. Since that is your speciality dear NATO members, the 2 of you can point the fingers at each other and try to figure out who should do it. Sadly, I won't be there to watch you talk your arses off, but then again, none of you bother to even get the presentation from me.
Oh Well..... Think I should join the club and just talk about passing the presentation off to someone, but then don't bother doing that either.

Excuse Me?
"I think I should go HQ myself later, just don't want to quarrel with you anymore and I just giving suggestion and please take it easy."
You think that I would even think of bothering to pick you up on the way to HQ after you piss me off with the shit you said?
In the first place, if you don't want to listen to what people have to say and still insist that your idea is so good, then forget about me listening to you trying to push your great idea. Insisting that your idea should be in the presentation is not GIVING SUGGESTIONS. Don't try to cut me off by telling me "it's up to you". If it was up to me I wouldn't need any of YOUR SUGGESTIONS or FEEDBACK. If it was up to me, it would have been done a week before as I wouldn't need to make bloody appointments to get photos taken. I wouldn't need to host people at my outlet and end up having people give NOTHING after a week to think of 9 ideas when we needed 15.
But it is not up to me, and it is a GROUP PROJECT. A group project with 5 people who needed 15 ideas, but only 3 actually did write some ideas down. You just shot out ideas on the fly. Another one just made a joke or complaint out of everything. If it was up to me, that useless bugger would be doing the presentation. If it was up to me, the photo shoot would not have missing ingredients. If it was up to me, I wouldn't even bother taking so much photos of food as it wasn't part of the project.
If you haven't realised by now that we are supposed to work as a group, to help each other out and not just ASSUME that the just because I'm good with words or the powerpoint program that everything will miraculously get done on time. Did anyone even bother doing the part of the project that is also just as important as the presentation? Did anyone realise that without the costing, all the ideas might as well go down the drain?
By the way, there wasn't a quarrel to begin with. I just put the phone down when you pissed me off because I rather not say anything than to spoil my day saying shit to you out of anger.
Don't even tell me to take it easy when you don't even begin to understand the amount of shit I had to go through trying to put the presentation together in a day without having proper information. Then with NO support from GROUP members that don't even help by answering a simple question. If we needed 5 ideas, and each one came up with one, we would have 5. But in the end, I got only 2 at the end of the day, another idea hours past the time I should have been sleeping. So that again leaves that 1 person that doesn't seem to do much, or in this case, NOTHING AT ALL!
"U give suggestion but did u bother thinking how to even link to the whole group idea? Judging by what me & eileen came up the first time, it was obvious we had to do 5 promo, 5 drinks and 5 coffees. The the reason why we come up with food is to tie it to the promo. Talk easy, anyone bother to even ask if I needed help with the presentation? No one even bother to do costing. Had to ask u to do at the table then get it done. Ask for promo idea some ppl dun even reply. Might as well make it a one man show. If really up to me then why is it we're split into groups? Seriously, is it really a group project? Or a project to take it for granted someone will get every damn thing done and hand it in on time. Worse still u all know I have the weekly report to compile and can't even cooperate and hand it in on time. Now u tell me to chill?! Try walking in my shoes for just yesterday and u see if you need to chill after what u just said."

Experience Doesn't Come With Age
You might think just because you've worked in the industry that you've seen everything and know everything. I can say for sure that no matter how much experience and wisdom you have and can impart, that you did it the wrong way today. Yes the place was messy when you came, and yes it wasn't cleared immediately. However, to say that it was because I lack the skills or I didn't communicate with my staff, I definitely take offense to that.
After observing what goes on for about 10 minutes did you only realise that he doesn't do what naturally comes to people in this industry. Yes, after a month of working in this place, that idiot still doesn't do what he's supposed to do. Rather, washing up the things in the sink are more important than clearing everything into the bin or sink first. Is it because I haven't said that we should clean up the place a.s.a.p.? Or is it because he thinks it's not important?
How is it Aunty would do it automatically once she's free, but he doesn't? Does it have to be in black and white for him to get things done? Think about it. The problem with the landlord only started after he arrived. When Aunty was always opening the store there was NEVER one complaint. Once he started, then the calls to you from the landlord came.
Don't blame me, find the problem. So now you know what the problem is, what are YOU going to do about it?
As for your advice to find staff, I'll find my part-time crew. I'll find what I need. When I do, I hope you do your part, and remove the problem. We'll see if you get more calls from the landlord then.
Talking about advice, really what kind of advice is telling me to just instruct him what to do? Does it really help the problem? I know if I'm not there, nothing will get done. Well, you want me to give the idiot shit, I'll give the idiot shit. Don't blame me if you lose another staff, but then again, no one really wants to work with him anyway.
