This is a re-post from my old blog.
Aside from being a review
and tutorial center, our company also publishes review books and other
materials.
Two years ago, a self-declared INTELLECTUAL came
to our office telling us that there was an error in one of our reviewers. He
demanded to talk with the owner of the company without considering that the
owner may be busy, out of town, in a meeting or simply... not in that small
branch. So, we called the Academic Head to pacify him and of course to listen
to what he had to say..
The Acad Head patiently
explained and justified all the issues that he raised, but he simply ignored
her and insulted her for being a graduate from a public (but reputable) school
here in Manila. After defending herself assertively but very politely, the Acad
Head assured the man that 'we
will try to look into this.'
Two weeks ago, the man
came back. He said he was checking if we did what he said we should do. When
asked what he had been doing lately, he proudly answered, 'looking for mistakes committed by others like you.' He
kept on talking. He even said that we, employed teachers, in our review center,
were NO MATCH for him and that we were in every way INFERIOR to him.
I honestly don't know what
to think of the whole thing, actually I found it somehow amusing that there is
such person, but one thing I know is true, it is not worth
feeling BAD about..
