Just had a rather revealing “debate” with Petra Barus. His entire argument boiled down to this: I've been fired from three companies, | supposedly can’t work at all, and I'm basically a dumb language model operating on just one single parameter. Wow, what a deep and original take. Really got me thinking. Meanwhile, here we are on Eid, a major Muslim celebration and a national public holiday across Indonesia where most people are resting and spending time with family. Yet Petra, who is Christian, made sure to proudly announce that he is still working today for SawitPRO. Let that sink in. So which one is it? Is Sawitpro such a toxic and demanding company that it forces its employees to work even on important religious holidays? Or does Petra have such a serious skill issue that he feels the need to clock in and prove his worth even when the entire country is on holiday? Either way, the optics are terrible. It says far more about Petra's situation and Sawitpro’s culture than it ever could about me. Happy Eid Mubarak to everyone who actually knows how to respect boundaries, take a well-deserved break, and celebrate with dignity. Some workplaces and some professionals clearly still have a lot to learn about that.
