Letter
Dear Steven,
Before I begin, I would like to apologise for all the inconveniences and troubles caused to you yesterday.
Yesterday evening, I was scheduled for SkyDinning. After setting up the tables and cutleries, I was asked to go down Hill Bistro to collect food on my own instead of having someone there to guide me. While I was asked to do so, Khairul headed to Harbourfront to buy his dinner and left me alone to do it. Not that I didn’t want to carry out instructions passed down by him, but I felt that I wasn’t capable of handling the food alone when I’ve spilled it before. Thus, I waited for him to be back in order to be safe.
Then, the problem arise from the napkins. I was asked to fold them and arrange them neatly. I did as told, but I must admit, I didn’t do a good job out of it. So as expected, I was scolded. But this time, it was much harsher and ruthless. He said that if I was unhappy with my job, I can jolly well report to you and ask for resignation. Such remarks definitely provoke one’s temper tremendously. I told him that it was none of his business if I were to stay in the job or not, then before I could report the matter to any of the seniors, I threw the napkin onto the table, and it hit him on his face. It was unintentional as my aim was not to hurl it onto his face but instead, just on the table itself. He got agitated and before I could explain, he pushed me. His fist landed onto my face. So out of natural instinct, I retaliated. I admit that I’m at fault for doing that. The case was then reported to Frank.
I know that all these fights and quarrels are unnecessary, but Steven, I would like you to know that this is not the first time Khairul has yelled at me and using aggressive words on me. Like you have said, we must learn to work well with each other as a team. I agree with every single words you have said. But for such quote to be true, I believe that there must be respect and fairness for it work out. Once again, I am sincerely sorry for all the troubles and fights that happened today. I would like to assure you that no matter what happen in the future, nothing of this sort would ever happen again. I hope you will give me another chance to prove myself. Thank you.
Yours Faithfully,
Jeremy Ong
