The Famous MBS TEk’s “The Purge”

Let me share with you my not-so-sweet experience last June 19.
It was a very ordinary day. We’ll that’s what I thought…I was not aware (well nobody does) that it’ll be our last day of work in our beloved MBS Tek aka US Auto Parts Network, Legazpi Office.
I remember, that day - I was rushing to the office as usual. It was around 8:45 in the morning. And I was a bit surprised to know that the managers were there and we were not informed about their arrival. I just thought to myself “it must be a surprise visit.” I was indeed surprised because “the Dancing King” Country Manager and VP for Marketing was there…along with the CFO - Michael Mclane(It was my first and last sighting of this giant btw) and Butanding herself. I was even ranting that I was not wearing a “smart/casual/semi-formal/ whatever attire” because the legendary HR Officers did not inform us.
After 10 minutes of logging in and preparing for work (or at least pretending to), I noticed the “very famous” Operations Manager Sir Joel calling my team members one by one. And it seemed to me that they are being called by Marc, the VP for Marketing (Phils.) in order to talk to them. I said to myself, there’s something totally weird about what’s going on. So I asked Sir Joel about the fuss, and he said Marc’s going to talk to all of us.
So okay, it’s clear to me. Marc’s always like that. He talks to us – including the TLs(Team Leaders) to check on things. But wait, he’s going to talk to regular employees too. That’s really unusual! And that’s when Sir Joel came back to me and said, “Raziel..Marc will talk to you first” in a very sweet voice.
