昨天的培訓為的是今天的比賽，公司希望我們分組，一起製作一個迷你版產品。組員以營業部、設計部和編輯部組成，所有人會被編到與不同市場的同事同組，即是說不會和日常合作的人拍檔，例如香港營業員 x 倫敦編輯 x 開普敦設計師或巴林營業員 x 新加坡編輯 x 杜拜設計師。新穎的組合，但工作仍然是平日做的事，我一心想應該不難應付。我算是幸運中的不幸，幸運因為其中一個營業員就是香港的同事，不幸是另有杜拜和馬來西亞的同事。問題在於有的是新同事，未理解應該做什麼，對一切的程序比較陌生，感到壓力；另一位杜拜同事雖然不是新人，但她不是負責公司這個產品，所以不是太熟產品細節，自薦做指揮工作；至於馬來西亞同事也是比較新，但她表現冷靜，處變不驚，沒有大呼小叫。過程中那個指揮官令我十分反感，她沒有貢獻之餘，就只懂把「怎麼樣? 我們完成了未?」、「進度如何?」、「為什麼你坐著甚麼都不幹?」等等問題掛在口邊，只顧結果！又不停催促同事快一點，說沒有時間，如果你沒用幫不了手，她的話裡聽不出一點尊重。另一位杜拜同事她很想出一分力，但沒有人有空給講解，她感到無助，硬著頭皮做起來，遇到疑問便大叫，說她感到很大壓力，差點要哭出來。我心情被一切亂局影響，令我也堅張起來，聽見其他團伍已經完成，令我更加急起來，最後我們雖然在限時內完成產品，但我並不滿意。
The training yesterday is for the competition today. It is the company’s idea. They want us from different departments divided into small teams to work on a mini-product together. The teams combined with staff from sales, design and content departments. We were randomly allocated to ensure you will not work with your local based colleagues; in another words, you will have to work with someone you never met before, for example, the sales from Hong Kong x the editor in London x the designer from Cape Town or the sales from Bahrain x the editor in Singapore x the designer in Dubai. What would it be to work with a new team while doing your daily routine? At first I was thinking it would not be hard to deal with because I will do my job as usual and I was lucky that one of the sales in my team is also my teammate in Hong Kong. However, the other two sales were from Malaysia and Dubai who are new to the company. They do not know how to start and do not familiar with the procedure. Another lady, based in Dubai, was from another production line, that’s why she is not familiar with the details of the product we were working on, however, she is well experience in management and nominated herself as the leading role. The Malaysian sales was quite calm and rest assure. In the whole process, the self-nominated leader annoyed me. She did not have any contribution and the only thing she did was keep asking as questions like “How is it go? Are we done yet?”, “How’s the progress?”or “Why are you sitting here with nothing to do?”These kind of questions and her attitude are really a pain in my ass. She is so result-oriented. She also urged us to act quickly and beat the time. If she thinks that you have no value in the task, she did not respect you and gave you a bitch face. Another new Dubai sales was willing to help, but no one was free to guide her what to do. When she faced some error and helpless, she yelled and almost cry. This competition really stressed her out. I was also tense with stressful circumstances, I felt extra stress when I learnt that the other teams have completed their products. Although we completed our product before the deadline, I am not satisfied.
回想這三個多小時都鬧劇，令我覺得自己很幸運能加入香港這個團隊，有著一班很負責任的同事，如我所說，只要每一個人做好自己本份，對自己的工作有擔帶，有著清晰的目標及定位，做起事來一定會事半工倍。作為一個團隊，你所作的每一樣事情都會影響到其他人，你沒有做好，小至其他人就需要為你善後，大至影響全公司運作，長遠影響公司利益，絕對不是好事。這是我在這個鬧劇中體驗到的，大家不清楚自己做甚麼，沒有一個好的領導，過程沒有正能量，只管結果，結果大家都受壓下工作，心理質素一定不好。
In this 3-hour chaos, I felt so bless to be part of the excellent team in Hong Kong. I had a small team of responsible teammates. If everyone do the best of their job and be responsible, having a clear goal and on the ball, you pay less effort to get the result. As a team, every bit you did and every single decision you made will affect the other people. If you messed up, someone may need to clean your mess or even affecting the operation of the company. In long term, the profit of the company will be affected. I learnt from this chaos that if you are not clear of your role, without a good leader, no positive energy and result-oriented in a teamwork situation, the consequence is the employees are under stress and the psychological quality is not in a healthy.
晚上就是公司的全體員工晚宴，主題是黑＆白，所有人只能穿這兩種顏色，也是女同事展示潛質的機會，大家都打扮得像紅地毯上的名星一樣，令我覺得自己不夠隆重。晚宴在Media One City舉行，多謝公司的闊綽，我又可以奢華一番。
At night, we had a gala dinner with Black & White theme, all of us can dress up with these two colours. It was also a chance for the ladies to show off their potential. Everyone dressed up like a celebrity walking on the red carpet. It made myself feel that I am under-dressed. The dinner held in Media One City and thanks for the company, I feel the luxury once again.
食物其實麻麻，不題也罷。當中值得一題是我們的CEO都算很親民，沒有架子，她十年前一手創辦公司，當時員工只有十幾人，現在已經有百幾人，在世界各地營運自己的事業，可算是鐵娘子。她能叫出每一位員工的名字，可惜叫不出我的，世界變灰了！希望明年再見，她不會說「而我不知道Trianne是誰」。
The food was not the something worth to mention. Instead, our CEO is a very friendly lady. She set up her company ten years ago which only 10-20 employees. Nowadays, the company has developed successfully which has hundreds employees already. She set up different offices in the world and able to name all of her money maker. Unfortunately, not my name. Hopefully next year, she could know who the hell is Trianne.
