The big boss from Bremen visited us quarterly. As usual he never stays long, only in the morning. After lunch he would leave for the airport to other branches in the Asia Pacific region.
Herr Pieter Khulman is many heads above me. He is huge, probably thrice my size. He has piercing eyes and a chubby, jovial face. He reminds me of Shrek. Maybe due to his size, he walks slowly, swaying from side to side like a pendulum. Observing him, one would think he is afraid the ground he trod on is paved with delicate flowers and he is trying to avoid stepping on them.
We are not encouraged to carry a conversation with him for he does not stop long for us to do so. A normal greeting, “Good Morning”, a nod or a smile is sufficient enough. Managers do not have the chance to conduct a one to one meeting with him. Communications are often held in the presence of our GM.
With no interactions with the staff, he does not know exactly what happens in the office. So why does he bothers to visit us? Anyway he does not have the chance to speak to any of the managers for they were told to ‘disappear’ whenever he visits.
