Eh Brah

May 08, 2008

I just want to thank the obnoxious, rude man I saw at the big Wailea resort pool a few weeks ago. If you hadn’t been so loud and arrogant, I never would have seen just how friendly and professional the resort staff could be. You were there for some function put on by a local company, and I was there with my children. I was appalled when you started yelling “I want my bar service now! I want a lounge chair on the grass! I want! I want! I want!” You went on like that forever. The staff tried to tell you that they didn’t allow chairs on the grass and that your bar service would come with everyone else’s, but then you started throwing your weight around, saying you were a big shot with the company putting on the function. Let me tell you something: that company isn’t all that popular on this island right now, so you might want to be careful when you brag about that in the future. As for the resort staff, I’m sorry you have to deal with people like that.

Follow-up Required

I think a follow-up to this story is needed regarding the disciplinary action taken on this individual. Apparently there are several other incident where this individual has marred this local companies name. He's also run people off the road with the company car and exchanged hostile greetings and drove off. All the while he walks away unscathed where as if were anyone of us mere mortals we would probably terminated immediately. Thus he's been labeled the "Golden Boy". This local company has a cooperate code of conduct all of which doesn't apply to the "Golden Boy". That's why I feel a follow-up report is in order.

This is probably the companies policy, the way it takes care of its own. Good thing the company name wasn't mentioned in the article. I can not imagine how bad it would make them look. And if you were called in by your superiors, I'm sure you told them it was all just a misunderstanding, and let them know what really happend(your story). Anyway don't you just love the Eh Bras, too funny.

By the way I'm sure the company doesn't want to hear anymore about this incident, probably wishes its employees didn't hear about it in the first place, but if its like our company, everyone knows. If you are the "Golden Boy" then this is probably just another notch in your belt to take you to the top.

Congratulations you've done it again.

couldn't do it.
