My GM has resigned. *gasps* yeah, the rather nice guy who happened to be top GM among the asian GMs in my company. And I was out of the office in the afternoon, 'gallivanting' till I got back, just in time for him to announce his resignation. What a Shocker. Let me restart:

On Wed, yesterday, I went for lunch with my SM, Desmond (Asst. Sales Mgr) and Leonard(other dpt's salesman). After that, my SM gave me permission to hang out with Desmond on his appointments. Yahoo! *laughs* Roadrides with him is always relaxed, that's for sure. Anyway, so we even went Serangoon Garden for a short tea break of creme brulee, oreo cheesecake, and drinks... by the time we got back at 4pm.. all the surveyors and managers in my dpt were called into my GM's room. And I was asked to go in too. At that point of time, I just felt guilty for not being in the office; and he dropped the bomb. I could tell he was really shocked too, and on the verge of tears. The MD's secretary stood by and sieved through his stuff, whereby he packed and left within half an hour. *sigh*

A couple of us were actually planning on MOS that night, but changed it to Monastery- a pub, so that we can speculate more (SM, Desmond, Dennis, Michael, Leonard, Laren and me). We talked bout it, and well, stuff are too sensitive at this juncture for me to even 2nd-guess. And no point either. It Is a pity for my ex-GM. He was a great guy to work under, affable, and he really cares for the staff. Of course he has his pitfalls, which really, I won't divulge it now or here.

But what I CaN say is that we have a new GM waiting on the wings, to be introduced to us on Tuesday. He'll officially start in July, and oh, by the way, he's pulled all our profiles for a review from the MD's secretary.

I for one, expect tighter control of the department and possibly major 're-structuring' in 3-6 mths time. Stick around for the joyride, coz I can't wait to see what's next over the bend.

Toodles.
