Dwn: remember N? he has resigned…
Me: eh? Why?
Dwn: turned out he hasn’t graduated. He repeated one paper but flunked it. He bumped into his former dean at his old university during a short course, and the dean was surprised to learn that he is now an executive in our old office, knowing that he never graduated.
Me: oh…
Dwn: the dean actually enquired about this at the HR department. Upon investigation, it turned out that when he applied for the job, N only submitted his transcript, and told the HR department then that he was waiting for the result of the repeated paper.
Me: and then?
Dwn: he flunked the paper again. But once he got the job, he kept very quiet. Until it all came out recently… so, he resigned.
Me: why was the dean so sebok like that?
Dwn: they said that back in the old days, the dean used to have some issues with N…
Me: so, where is N now?
Dwn: he is currently working at Company XYZ. Our former CEO found out about his situation and used his connection to get N a job.
Me: Alhamdulillah. Maybe his rezeki will be better there…
Dwn: true. But some of the officers in our old office are not looking at him kindly though. In fact, just the other day, your old manager said “macamana lah kita nak pandang dia lepas ni…?” Seems like our old office does deal with Company XYZ, so N might have to attend meetings in the old office…
Me: I’m sure he must had been thinking of something to remedy his situation… Besides, I personally think he performed well as an executive…
Dwn: apparently, he didn’t do anything for 3 years to rectify the problem. And he was already a senior executive, albeit on probation… In fact, when HR asked for a copy of his degree for confirmation purposes, he claimed that the university has not release it because he hasn’t paid his tuition fees in full…
Me: He is full of potentials…
Dwn: yes, I agree. But you don’t have to be too sympathetic though…
Me: huh?
Dwn: He seemed so ngam with you, yet he said bad things about you behind your back.
Me: really?
Dwn: yup, I can’t remember what exactly he said but I remember him saying such things… even though he often visited your room and discussed stuff with you…
Me: oh…
Dwn: yup
Me: never mind lah. I hope he will fare better in Company XYZ… he has a lot of potentials and it will be a waste if it is overlooked just because he doesn’t own a piece of paper called degree…
