Complicated love affair in Miri

An operation engineer, female, less than 2 years in the organization was in relationship with a local technician. She was sweet and friendly that many could have fallen for her easy style and could have easily mistaken her charming approach as something serious - something called love, probably. But not what she thinks. False hopes, probably not that false, I dont know, was given. The technician was on cloud nine, until time came for the engineer to make decision. Change of heart. She realized she needed somebody equivalent, an engineer too, as a life partner. She found the operation engineer she thought could make her life meaningful, unfortunately working on the same platform with the technician but different shift. The poor technician could not take it and demanded promise to be fulfilled.
In one incident at Miri Airport, upon her arrival from KL, he grabbed her into his car, but somehow let go when others watched. The case was reported. The company conducted internal investigation. HR stepped in. The solutions were to immediately transfer her to another sister company in Semenanjung. Her new beau was tranfered to another platform.

Lessons learnt:

1. Never underestimate the power of love.
2. Old ways of transfering problematic people to faraway location may not work these days when email and whatsapp know no border.
