First month and last month for Alice

today, mark ton he day Alice join PMC for the first month, and it become the last month she was recruited. Mr. Chuang sent me a mail on his last day in Shanghai, mentioned about his uncomfortable feeling toward working with Alice, and asked me to put her in other department or change her function in the company, I knew it gonna happen last week since Alice and him had a bad communication in the office, the night prior to their business trip to Shanghai. I told Alice that she must overcome this hurdle in Shanghai.

Chuang told me story about his unpleasant feeling and talked about all the trivial yet harrasment issue occured in Shanghai, I can understand the bad impact of gossips, I deliver her the message about the chemistry issue between she and Chuang, she have no idea what's going on until I express those minor issues to her, she went mad, really mad and accuse the wrong information sent by Chuang, this is another wake up call to me, Alice is a ture friend of mine, she came to join PMC because of me, she have no intention to lie, but Chuang, high as the head of PMC, lies to me simply becasue he dislike Alice, no teaching, no educating and no varification, this is terrible, I told Alice not to work here and told Chuang to provide her additional month as compensation. this is a tough decision and I know I will be blames by many of her friend and Alice may angry about my putting her in a hot seat , when the seat is heaten, I don't even come to rescure her.

What about me? I should make up my mind to stay until end of Oct. and release myself from the management position, hopefully to take up consulting role, if this is not acceptable, then I will leave this bad enviroment wihtout any regret.

I know this is only a transition, but I am not sure how long is will take, I need the salary for the family, but I need to realize my goal by putting my heart somewhere instead in PMC.

For the alst 20 months, being entreprnour of my own, I encountered many unexpected situation, meet a lot of people who don't walk the talk, maybe this is the picture of life, Jesus and Satan walking in different aile, it's pararell, so, don't mix it up in your heart, keep 2 values at the same time, think in multipal ways simontenursely.

Yuping and I had a lunch at Ben Doo, I didn't know she will come, and I am really shock by learning that her mother just pass away the day before yesterday, if I were her, will at least free myself for a week. am I too weak ? or she is too strong?

A lot to learn and life is really too short to be wasted.
