PR MOTORCYCLES: Till We Meet Again

Brief Summary

As a very effective training officer in one of the biggest appliance dealership in the Philippines, Miss Amelia Rivera was valued by the top management.

While in the birthday party she was introduced to Mr. Pedro Reyes, a longtime friend of her father. Mr. Reyes happens to be the president of a large motorcycle dealership that operates branches in all the provincial capital throughout the Philippines. Mr. Reyes offered Amelia to be the HR Manager. Because of her father’s advice, with twice of her current salary and a complimentary staff of five subordinates, she proceeded to perform her new job with enthusiasm after a week. Through written memos and personal calls she laid out the HR policies to the twelve regional managers of the company.

Regional managers religiously observed and implemented the HR policies, except for Mr. Sotero Mantic. He even criticized Amelia before she could even finish her report in one of their meeting. One of the managers told Amelia that Mr. Mantic is a bright fellow but he is not a high performer, he thinks highly of himself, and he feels indispensable to the company. This maybe because Mr. Reyes considers the regional managers as the workhorses of his company and he provides them with all the incentives, financial or otherwise.

After trying hard to win the respect of Mr. Mantic, all her efforts failed and was told that HR work is a waste of company funds. Amelia filed her resignation after she was informed that Mr. Reyes promoted the subordinate of Mr. Mantic without her knowledge.

The actions of the company’s president in relation to the responsibility of Amelia affects her decision to resign from her job.
