Giddy-ish days

Feeling giddy-ish these few days. Head spinning (on & off). Tired! Body aching. I need more iron. My blood pressure gets rather low almost every mth. Maybe also not enuff rest. So many stocks (old stocks & new stocks everywhere) but still not much crowd. Too many malls in Singapore already lah...pple all spread out now. Went to the outlets with mum to get some furnitures shifted from home to suntec and bugis. Then went with mum to the doctor to get some med and go get some other stuffs b4 heading back home. Was feeling tired and giddy so had a nap. Feeling better now. Think will sleep earlier tonight.

Bosses of neighbouring shops & some friends (who acted as customers to test our staffs) commented to us that a couple of our staffs ...cannot make it. When pple are looking ard in the shop for quite some time, they dun notice/are too engrossed doing their stuff/just dun bother. They also say that our products can sell is b'coz of our products. If our staffs take effort to push, our sales can be even more. They work as if to just kill time & get pay only. I don't call standing there looking at customers and talking among themselves as serving customers. Do you? If we say anything to them, they will give us either zero sales or really really really poor sales. Worse they can walk out on us. Experience that b4! Now (with christmas, new year, and cny approaching) is not the time to lose any staffs. Might as well keep quiet & tahan them until after cny. But DEFINITELY will take note. We already are aware who're the ones who "bo chap" and who are the ones who really want the job.

We've decided to extend the contract of our china staff (but it also depends if she wants to stay on with us. a high chance she'll). After march of nxt yr, we'll cut down to only 2-3 staffs (that's including our china staff). That will mean the staff (or maybe even 2 staffs) with poor sales and poor working attitude have got to go. Teamwork is also impt. Not just within the outlet but with all staffs in all outlets. They should work with one another & help one another to hit individual targets so that it'll be easier for them to hit team target as well (they get more commission in this way). Laziness is another thing we don't like. Also they may think we dunno but we know that there's even bullying going on. That's e.gs of bad working attitude. And those with theses attitude will have to go. Will be joining in the flea market at expo after svc this sunday to clear some stocks. Anyways, I hinted to a staff abt this plan we've for nxt yr & I think she told another staff abt it (these 2 staffs are rather close) as we see both of more active today. Shall continue to observe ALL of them esp when they are working alone in the shop. Though we already know who is the one most likely to go, we shall double confirmed it & have everything settled after march.
