On the side of the organizers, you guys should not be doing verbal agreements anymore.
Maybe you already experienced verbal agreements with places/venues before and it turn out well but unlucky you are now they didn't fulfill there promises.
I heard also that one of the biggies of the place shouted at one or two of the waiters in front of the President and General Manger of that company. Luckily, Japanese people (most of them) just ignore this kind of attitude when they are not on their mother land.
A friend of mine overheard a conversation between one of the employees and one of the biggies there, the employee asked if they can use the musical instruments, and the latter replied "Do you know how expensive 'Pearl' (a drumset) is?". WOW!
I knew that the company who held the event there already made a full payment. The contract between them states that 50% MUST be made after signing of the contract, but the company already paid in full for the food and drinks. The dues left is the champagne used for there "Kampai". That's 9K+. That company is already used to paying full what's in the contract and pay later for the remaining dues later (if there is) and YES they have a Word of Honor.
One thing also, no one is bringing a checkbook that night. It has been agreed upon by the organizers and the management that excess should be paid after the event. Maybe the term 'after' is ambiguous but it's not RIGHT after the event. This is a big company and they have a reputation to protect. They will not just migrate to another continent just because of 9K+. And oh, I heard that they made this payment last month. Basing on that, dli na man siguro malugi ang venue ana. Nagamit pa man gani siguro nila ang bayad para mopalit sa ingridients na ipakaon sa costumers nila starting November until sa event sa Company =).
One of the definitions of 'EXCLUSIVE' based of Google, "not divided or shared with others". How come naa lain people makasulod sa place na exclusive?
If you're the one involve in the negotiation for this event, is it you're responsibilty to remember the person you are in contact with? How come one of the biggies of the venue didn't know the person? That biggies called by name the wrong person when that biggies is in the event to "facilitate".
Also, when the President of that company was delivering his speech, a 'blender' was turned ON in the bar and the sound is very irritating because the bar is just beside the President. Do they know good manners? Why is the 'blender' tuned ON? Ahh, a customer from the not 'EXCLUSIVE' area order something to be blended..
I am also employed in a company owned and ran by people with the same nationality as that of the one who is poorly served by the venue they used for there event. My sympathy is for them.
Every Human Resource Department of every company here in Cebu can communicate and make recommendations for things that could benefit each other. I hope it won't come to this. For this not to push through, both sides must talk ASAP.
I thinks the organizers just trust the management of the venue that they don't even bother to put everything in writings. Maybe next time, everything must be in writing. Everything as in how many times you can use the toilet to how many times you can go IN and OUT of the place. Silly!
Lastly, when you are at work, imo ba dad-on imong bata sa imo workplace?
Naa man gud dako-dako sa venue nga nagkugos og bata dayon shouted sa waiter in front of everybody else.
Happy holidays...
