I here
upload my first post since I moved to Blogger.
Thank God to the administrators of Blogger because my old posts have
suddenly attracted thousands of viewers and all I did was having them
transferred from Wordpress where I only attracted one or two views per day.
If you have read my true horror story in
Paris part 1 to 5, you may wonder whatever happened to that Japanese
middle-aged spinster who tried to brainwash me to hand over to her my cash as
offerings. Maybe this bit is a true horror
story only possible in France. One year
on she is still employed by the same bank because of the iron clad Union power á la
Francaise. Her superior has been under stress
worrying over what she may be doing with her other Japanese clients’ accounts
and yet he can’t fire her. Her coworkers
are also stressed mentally and physically because their workloads have
increased due to the fact this spinster could not be trusted with new
clients. A few months ago I had to call
my current councilor but she had called in sick. Instead I heard that cursed voice at the
other end of the phone. The spinster recognized
who I was and guess what? She giggled in
a low sinister manner. No shame…and no
sanity if I may say. And yet this woman
has a free access to the financial information, whereabouts, etc. of all the
clients of the bank, including mine. My
current councilor and her superior have been begging me not to close my account
and I have given them one year to be rid of the problem. Nothing has changed, if not turned
worse. Time to make decision.
Mulling with the idea I walked up the
subway station of Republique. I found
the air to be smoky. Next moment my eyes
stung. Toxic gas attack? No, it was tear gas. The first time in my life I was exposed to
it. It turned out there was a strike
going on at Place de Republique rallying against the recent change in labour
law or something. In order to calm them down, the police had resorted to blasting tear gas from the look of it. The strikers are probably justified in doing so, but they are also protecting wrong employees.
I cannot change the system. The only course left for an individual like
me is to leave, in this case my current bank.
