Just received this email from HR:
Dear Team
Your project is really great. Your involvement is marvellous to bring about this project. We see your hardship from day to day. Let share...and we care..
Awww. I think I'll try to invent a new emoticon for what I'm feeling now. I think there will be a Q in it. Or I may borrow from the cyrillic alphabet.
The email ended with some new plans for ordering lunch and dinner through someone who will fetch us for it. So we don't have to leave our desk for lunch or dinner. Double awww.
This came from the same HR guy who, out of the blue, called me to see if I was ok since I started and that he was sorry that . I said that not being paid this month because he didn't process my forms, which is a 5-minute task for him, even after being asked by me approximately 14 times in the past 5 weeks, was probably the only outstanding issue. Oh, and the fact that I didn't get any help from you even after you were allocated to assist me with finding accommodation and I kept asking you for help, and you know I haven't had a day off since starting here. But apart from that I'm fine, thanks. It's all good. Thanks for checking in with me. OK so I may have sugar coated the venom a bit, but all the above content was still covered. His reply?
"You're welcome. Just let me know if you need anything more."
My theory? A certain someone in HR has a performance appraisal coming up. And a certain someone's box which says "Initiatives to Motivate staff" or "Demonstrates soft skills" was looking a bit empty.
