and I would like to see the CS and VIP together. As I said at the beginning, I hope we can resolve in a mature way
BV That’s my issue, I don’t believe it can be resolved in a mature way, 11 months this has been going on
RM But those people now are in VIP team, they are not under our umbrella
BV I see them every day and what they are doing, in last 2 years everyone who started has gone, I think that’s something to worry about
RM I’m taking it on board, I would like them to communicate with the team only when work related, if they act as 8 year olds out of work, it’s not my concern, but in work I can address
BV They are doing it in the work
RM But I mean in the cafeteria, as long as they do their jobs professionally, they can speak to who they want or not speak to who they want, I guess it is what it is, we can each one of us pick his friends in and inside of work. I’m looking at it as something to look into, but again I can’t force you to do it, I can’t promise from May 1st they go to VIP and all will be rosey, we are dealing with people and not computers. If someone comes to the team, whether its Susana or Samira, tell them there is other ways to deal with it or communicate it, if not work related, back to your desk, as long as it works like that it should be fine, it may not be perfect, you may not all be friends, but this is the solution I can think of. And you need to think it this is something you would like to try, nothing is perfect, we can aspire to be perfect but nothing is perfect. You can always decide not to, of course you can take different way out, ive sat with HR and Samira and Susanna and I’m sitting here with you, I think it can be resolved, that’s where I am , it’s harder to build something, it’s easy to break it. That’s where I am, we are coming to the end of the meeting, I’m flying tomorrow but will feed back to HR who will communicate with you, does all make sense?
BV (Bart shrugs)
RM Is there anything else you would like raise? Any other questions?
BV Wanted to hear your point of you, you have the overview of everything, it seems like we are 99% aligned in our view.
RM At least we are trying, we share our view, not always we agree, I see yours, I hope you see mine
BV The thing is, I don’t see myself going back, it will be the same in a couple of weeks RM But we can address issues before they become crisis. Maybe I can set up a meeting in the next couple of weeks with Samira and Susana and the TL’s in VIP and make sure
