Astro,
I hv been killing myself doing this cause this is soo not me. (I tink its a virgo thing to be kpo and guan jia po.

)
But my collig put me in the correct retrospective. Since I hv done everything dat is ME to resolve and the problem persist, I should do it the total opposite way.
Some history:
1. This kids dad used to work in our company. He is a well liked and VERY good worker. The guess is he asked our dept director a favour to let his boy try out.
2. The director took the boy in and dump it onto the mgr. Coincidently, the boy and mgr are from same country AND the boy is the same age of the mgr's dotter, so there is some further 'obligation' to push in this kid.
3. My mgr is overloaded coz we are short of manpower at all our projs. Therefore, he let each team work on our own. (We are supposed to have a LEAD but there is none, so the mgr PT) With soo much work on his hand, he cant be bothered with the cp of Linda abt the young boy.
4. Our proj schedule is super short and tight. So the mgr prob puts it as, juz another month to go....
5. My mgr reads me like a book. He knows dat i am the gan cheong spider kind and will push the team to work. In a way, it worked with the other guys, so he assumed it will work with this kid. But this fella is reallie @#%^$^#%$^#^#$^.....
