Bro JR You means my "师傅" Mentor Pool.
Oh! He already resigned and leave LV.
Wow, really ah? I thought he die hard, hardcore and sworn
to death supporter, member and chief of LV.
When he ran his forum, anything bad about LV kena cut, censor
etc. LV like the Mafia for him, once in, in for life and sworn to
uphold LV until death (or no longer driving).
So why he quit? Don't tell me - another Ah Guan issue! Kena
tekan by some newbie, he demanded the newbie kena sack or not he
will quit. Then the newbiw never quit, so he bo pian must quit to
have face!
That one his pattern is famous for us, any time he kena tekan,
he become like school girl or a small baby in the pram, will throw
tantrums and then quit.
Or maybe he like me - kena Toto 1st prize! (Thanks Rbs for
letting people know my secret!).
Whatever la, he happy can liao, nothing in it for me.
Btw CT it's interesting that you still call him ' Mentor.' Don't
get me wrong, I think you're a gentleman who remembers what good
people have done for you. In my years in the force, I have of
course trained many juniors. Yes most will call me "Sir"
during the training, but I always discourage them.
Some will persist, but usually once the training or their
probation period over, they eventually will address me by name or
rank from there onwards. However there is this 1 guy until very
recently will still call me Sir.
Finally 1 day I told him, xxx you are no longer a junior
policeman, you are quite senior now, been promoted many times, you
definitely need not call me 'Sr' anymore. What I did was so long
ago and only taught you a little bit, you have learned from others
since then and also you have gained so much experience, please call
me by name.
Finally for the first time in nearly 17 years, he called me by
name! Lol, and he looked so uncomfortable doing it. Perhaps it's
time your mentor, also accepted that his trainee is now his equal
and should discourage all the previous titles bestowed.
