Anesta And Mahesa

Training

"My name is Zein. I will train you later about the new company picture, also about some new products."

"Oh yes sir, I am Anesta. You can call me Nesta"

"You can call me Zein. I don't think our age is too far away."

"It looks like that sir"

"But whatever do you call me? What's good you think" He saw a doubt on my face.

I'm not used to calling someone I just met let alone their level above me as "mas".

Mr. Zein just joined our company. He oversees the Human Resource Development Division.

So HRD in my company is divided into two divisions, namely, Human Resource Development Division and Personnel Division which is more in charge of employee administration.

For the HRD staff at the branch office, we must be able to do these two things. We have to be able to develop resources like training and we have to do personnel tasks.

The work of the HRD staff was fun in my opinion. Because it is not only related to inanimate objects such as papers that contain labor agreements but also related to humans.

There was a time when they came just to "surface" his personal problems.

Once an employee came to me, asking for my time listening to stories about his problems with his girlfriend. The problem is that it makes its work performance decrease.

As she told me about her problem, I tried to position myself as a big brother, so that she would be more free to tell stories. But the decision I made was still my decision as an HRD staff not a decision as a "brother".

"Nes, today we are training in the training center. Later there is a time you will take me around to some of our outlets that have implemented a new company image"

"Well Sir!"

"Okay, let me go to the training center. You can see other staff training some new employees. Yesterday we just hired employees"

"Oh, may sir. I'm glad I got a new science"

"Do you want to take part in training a new child? I'd also like to see how you do training in the branch"

"Well, do you want to evaluate my performance, sir?"

"Hahaha, you are. I'm sure you're good, I just want to see. It could turn out that the way you convey is different from the staff here. It could be interesting, so we can use it here. Sometimes that knowledge has to be shared by Nes"

"Oh, I really feel nothing special about the way I deliver a module" Frankly I'm not too confident when a boss immediately sees me talking in front of the class.

But it looks like Mr. Zein insisted I should do it.

Hopefully Mr. Zein is not surprised by the way I delivered the module, which is more joking than serious.

When I had to train new employees specially placed in the kitchen or booth, I was used to convey in simple and relaxed language. There is also a little bit of humour.

If I convey in a way that is too serious, I worry that they will be sleepy listening to me talk. Especially during sleepy hours.

Sometimes I prefer to have a dialogue with them. Occasionally throwing questions that they did not realize it was the theory that I had just conveyed. I just want to know how far they understand.

Once we arrived at the training center which was not far from the headquarters. Just walk about 300 meters. I saw some classes were full of new employees in training.

"We entered the class at the end. There is special training for new products. So you all learn the product and learn how to deliver it. This is the module for you to bring Nes"

There's about two hours I have to sit listening. I am used to moving actively feel not at home should sit sweet. I also started to get sleepy. Suppose Mr. Zein wasn't sitting next to me. Maybe I'll yawn wide, a sign I'm bored.

As usual if I was bored, I would doodle my book with pictures of lines and curves. Until it becomes a picture that blends.

I was really bored to death, with the way it was delivered that was like a person reading a module. "If it's just like that, read it yourself too" I said in my heart.

Fortunately, my suffering was over soon. I feel like I want to immediately go and walk to the personnel division that is always busy and does not make drowsiness

"Hehehe, does Mr. Zein know?" I said with a grin, embarrassed to be caught being sleepy.

"The sight of your bored face and your restless sitting. Moreover, you are painstakingly holding your mouth to not open wide. Ahaha! I was also sleepy in the way Tio delivered. Or because there I was he got so stiff"

"Maybe sir"

"Eh, after this you are the trainer. About our old products, to those new kids. We're moving Nes' class"

My heart feels like it's pounding, like when I'm in love. Not because I can't tell you about our product but because this time there was Mr. Zein sitting looking at me.

As usual I opened the class with greetings, after that gave a description of our company's products while being inserted a little joke and funny terms created by old employees at our branch office, to easily remember our product name.

Our food products are quite a lot of variants, if for new employees it takes a long time to remember these products.

With the existence of funny terms, it makes it easy to remember especially for products that are slow moving or less selling.

I heard laughter from all the participants as I mentioned funny terms that represented some of our products. Kulirik glimpsed Mr. Zein, wanting to know how he reacted. I saw Mr. Zein smiling widely. I hope he is not angry with the way I deliver.

"Hahaha Nes, you can be funny too huh?. I like your way"

"Thank you sir. That's to make it easier for new employees sir and let them not get sleepy when they hear me talk"

"Yes, maybe your idea. Later note the terms, could be input for us here Nes"

"Yes, I'll take note, sir. I'm afraid you're angry with my way."

"No. Yes, the training was quite old. Tomorrow we'll just keep going again. If you have a need to go to the personnel division please Nes"

"Yes sir, I have a need to go there. Two more days of payroll. Want to check our branch office has been done not yet the data"

"Okay Nes, I'll see you in the morning. You just come straight here"

"Good sir!"

I spent the afternoon there. Time goes by so fast.

"Nes, don't you go home? Asked the same Sigit do not want to go to mess?"

"Eh, yes, Vi. Tell him I'm with him"

I heard my phone ring, I saw Ben's name on the screen.

"Ben Hallo!"

Turns out he wanted to pick me up, and they took me to dinner.

"Sorry Ben, I went home with my friend. It's in the parking lot" I lied.

"Okay Ben, next time we'll be together" I'll bite my lip. I feel guilty.

I immediately went downstairs looking for Sigit, because the IT Division was on the first floor.

Anesta lied to avoid me. I know it. Why did he not honestly tell her his true feelings. He's not comfortable around me. I know him very well, I know from his movements. The way he looked at me.

I looked at Anesta from my car. I was waiting for him on the parking lot of his office. He didn't show up and I called him. He rejected me.

Alright Anesta, I'll stay close to you the same way I used to.
