This post has been placed in quotes after a discussion @ esplanade with HR… some things have been clarified, there is no special treatment for ucc ushers.. so i was quick to jump to the conclusion.. however i’m not gonna delete the post as it still applies to wat i feel after modules 1, 2, 3 and 6..that espl has a lot to improve in terms of training.. it was only after modules 4 and 5, conducted after this post was 1st put up, that i realised the place has a personal side to it… also, pls read the above post…

Been to 4 esplanade training sessions, and i’m having mixed feelings about the place and ppl… i think i never mention b4 the ppl there.. they are very professional and serious about the place and their work, which is a good thing, if only it wasnt done so excessively.. We are starting to hear comments from the trainers that the UCC ushers are very cliquish and wun interact out of the ucc circle.. the weirdest thing we heard was that we feel superior to the other trainees who are mostly newbies to the ushering circle, and all of us have ushered for @ least a yr @ ucc and some of us, indoor stadium.. So that’s y we are not paying attn to the facilitators and the subjects covered, cos we noe everything… I seriously dun see how we can get to interact @ esplanade training sessions…1stly it’s a lecture sys, and in lectures u dun openly talk…u only make small talk, whisper abit to the ppl sitting next to u… and would u pref to sit with strangers or friends? I would pref the latter definitely.. 2ndly, i dun think many ppl there wanna really get to noe one another? i wun bother to go beyond getting a few phone numbers in case i wanna swap duties or something, but i wun purposely go n make frens there…call me a dao-kia, but even if i wanna swap duty, i would try the other 8 ucc ushers there 1st.. I really hate the comment about us not paying attention..ok i sit like i bloody dun care…never take out notes, hugging my bag and sliding down my seat… but my eyes are always on the speaker or screen…and i like to think that i ask smart qns, or @ least ask about things the instructors never covered but what would be useful for the other trainees..it doesnt hurt to confirm the simple stuff too…. yesh i rather be this kind of person than one who seems to be paying full attention but really isnt.. I think ppl there need to lighten up, there’s no way u can call urself a facilitator when u treat the trainees the way a sergeant would treat his recruits.. a faci facilitates discussions, opens doors and not force ppl thru the doors.. that’s basically wat i feel about the ppl there… I think i will stop asking qns in public, cos i dun wanna kana marked as someone who noes alot about ushering..i gonna ask in private..it’s not worth making enemies over this..we can all be professionals too rite…just work there for the money, dun even think about making friends cos it’s probably close to impossible…mai4 liao4 see3 gan1
