Kaum nyinyir

Sekumpulan kaum nyinyir
Saya tau ketika isi amplop thr saya di nyinyirin orang. Oh kok cuma segitu ya isinya, si A aja segini. Mulai deh membandingkan. Saya kasih tau ya, saya kerja keras buat keluarga saya. Itu utamanya. tapi ketika saya bisa memberikan rejeki saya ke orang lain segitu, saya anggap itu bonus dari Tuhan. Mengenai berapa banyak saya bisa kasih ke orang itu urusan saya dan hak pribadi saya. Dan yang jelas saya menyesuaikan dengan isi dompet saya artinya ya memang segitu kemampuan saya.
Saya gak akan kasih Anda anda semua dengan nilai yg fantastis agar supaya saya dapat pujian dari Anda Anda. No way. Saya gak haus pujian. Saya dapat pujian tapi sehabis itu saya ngutang kemana kemana? Sori yaa. Saya gak kayak kalian.
Mending saya kasih dikit tapi ikhlas, yaah walaupun masih tetap di katain 😑
Saya gak akan hidup dalam kepura puraan. Pura pura kaya, pura pura tajir, supaya dpt pujian sekampung, supaya dipandang orang, isi amplop thr buat dibagi tebal tapi habis itu mau beli tiket aja nggak sanggup, ngutang kemana2.
Yaah, jadi ya berusahalah untuk menahan diri untuk tidak nyinyir mengenai isi amplop orang, pemberian orang.
Kamu gak tau kan  gimana orang itu berusaha agar uangnya yg sedikit bisa cukup utk dibagi2? Kamu pikir yg dibagi kalian doang?
Udah ngasih aja di nyinyirin, apalagi nggak ya? Habis saya dikatain. 😌😌

Not Hiring Woman with Gaps

Hiring managers: if you are NOT HIRING WOMEN with gaps on their resumes due to child caring, you are making a big mistake. It is not the gap in their employment that is the problem, but the gap in your own judgment. 
1)    Gaps in resume do not mean gaps in talent, dedication, passion, loyalty. 
 2)    If a woman has an employment gap due to raising a child, that does not mean she has forgotten any of her skills. 
3)    Caring for a child is hard work, and should NOT be even counted as a gap at all – just like looking for work is hard work, too.
 4)    Women returning to workforce are very  loyal to their employers who hire them, - according to studies. 

 Shocker for some: these days more and more dads take career breaks to care for children. The above applies to these stay-home dads, as well. They have even harder time explaining their break to their employers. “I stayed at home to care for our two children” writes one dad. “When I tried to explain this to a recruiter, he asked ‘Don’t your children have a mother?’ I told him that raising children is the responsibility of both parents!” Please do not overlook resumes of people with gaps in employment.  The talent is a terrible thing to waste ! Agree ?

Gagal Fokus

Seorang Guru menuliskan ini di papan tulis : 
5 x 1 = 7 
5 x 2 = 10 
5 x 3 = 15 
 5 x 4 = 20 
5 x 5 = 25 
 5 x 6 = 30 
5 x 7 = 35 
 5 x 8 = 40 
5 x 9 = 45 
5 x 10 = 50 

Setelah selesai menulis dia balik melihat murid-muridnya yang mulai tertawa menyadari ada sesuatu yang salah. Pak gurupun bertanya : "Mengapa kalian tertawa?" Serentak mereka semua menjawab : "Yang nomor satu salaaaahhh Paaakk!" (tertawa bareng). Sejenak Pak guru menatap muridnya, tersenyum menjelaskan :
 "Saya memang sengaja menulis seperti itu agar kalian bisa belajar sesuatu dari ini. Saya ingin kalian tahu, bagaimana dunia ini memperlakukan kita. Kaliankan sudah melihat bahwa saya juga menuliskan hal yang benar sebanyak 9 kali, tapi tak ada satupun kalian yang memberi selamat. Kalian malah lebih cenderung menertawakan saya hanya untuk satu kesalahan. Hidup ini jarang sekali mengapresiasi hal-hal yang baik bahkan yang kita lakukan ribuan sekalipun. Hidup ini justru akan selalu mengkritisi kesalahan kita, bahkan sekecil apapun yang kita perbuat. Ketahuilah anak-anakku : "Orang lebih dikenal dari satu kesalahan yang ia perbuat, dibandingkan dengan seribu kebaikan yang ia lakukan". Semoga dari kesalah

an kita bisa memperbaiki diri lebih baik lagi.

Jangan kaitkan teroris dengan Islam

Jangan Kaitkan Islam dengan Teroris

Kita tidak suka bila Islam dikaitkan dengan teroris. Tapi ingat, yang mengaitkannya adalah para teroris itu sendiri. Mereka justru ingin dilihat sebagai muslim. Mereka ingin dunia tahu bahwa yang mereka lakukan itu adalah ajaran Islam.

Jadi, kalau keberatan dengan pengaitan Islam dengan teroris, nyatakanlah keberatan itu kepada para teroris itu. Jangan kepada pihak lain. Jangan karang cerita bahwa pihak lain ingin menjelekkan citra Islam. Bagi para teroris tindakan mereka itu tidak jelek. Mereka bangga dengan itu.

Kenapa masih berfantasi ada pihak lain yang mengaitkan Islam dengan terorisme? Sudah jelas kok siapa yang mengaitkan. Alangkah kacaunya kalau ada teroris muslim, yang ingin menunjukkan bahwa aksi mereka itu sesuai ajaran Islam, tapi kemudian Yahudi dan Nasrani yang justru disalahkan. Kagak nyambung.

Hotel Brand Websites, OTA’s, Meta Search and Wholesalers: A Distribution Dilemma Within The Industry

By Nick Cohen
The year is 2001, and the world is still recovering from the tragedy of September 11^th.  The travel industry is in a downward spiral as fears of flying and terrorism ripple across the United States and beyond, and hotels have lost significant occupancy due to a decrease in demand.
Simultaneously, a fledgling technology is emerging which will eventually take advantage of the internet explosion, as well as hotel management’s desperation to fill rooms. It will reshape our industry forever, and this platform now commonly referred to as Online Travel Agencies, or OTAs, will allow hotels to easily sell their rooms on the internet through new consumer facing websites such as Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz.
Fast forward to 2017. The OTA’s have gained the majority of market share for online reservations, and digital platforms like Booking.com and Ctrip.com have loyal member volumes that far surpass brand websites.  In many cases, the OTA companies are valued well beyond traditional hotel brands (as of May 2017, Priceline Group has a market capitalization of nearly USD 92 Billion).  They have also helped to create a new concept as they grew in popularity and scale over the last number of years, and it was the precedent of transparency. Pricing that was once hidden to the everyday user, could now be exposed to the whole world, publicly, with a few clicks online. As OTA channels grew enormously with time, so did the access to real time rates and availability for virtually every hotel around the world.
With this concept in mind, from the OTA’s we have seen the rapid expansion of ‘meta search’ channels. These are one-stop price comparison platforms where a customer can view a price for a single hotel room across multiple websites (without having to browse those websites one-by-one). Sites within this category include Kayak, Trivago, TripAdvisor, Qunar and Google, and they are all working to simplify the travel research process for consumers.

Featured above are some of the most popular meta search channels

With the OTA channels continuing to grow through massive marketing efforts and superior technology, and with meta search sites following their lead, a relatively new challenge has emerged for hoteliers. It represents a very complex dynamic between one of the most traditional ways to sell a hotel room, and one of the most modern ways to sell a hotel room. This once again all comes back to the concept of price transparency. Wholesale has been a core business driver in hotels for many years, helping properties build base business through private negotiated rates and partnerships. Historically, these wholesalers would sell their inventory offline to their own private networks of contacts. Even though the pricing would typically be lower than publicly available RACK rates, it was a reliable foundation of occupancy for hotels to build off of.
As technology has become more sophisticated with Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) readily available, we have seen the rapid growth of wholesale rates being sold publicly, online, through some of the powerful meta search channels mentioned above.  This means that wholesalers are selling discounted rates, which directly undercut brand websites and OTAs, to anyone who has access to the internet.  Beyond just meta search, some OTA websites are now even positioning themselves as ‘online marketplaces,’ where they too will sell wholesale inventory directly instead of the inventory provided by the hotels. To remain competitive and increase market share, online channels want to sell the lowest price possible, even if it means reducing their own margins by selling a cheaper room to the customer.

Meta Search Websites such as HotelsCombined (shown above) showcase wholesale aggregator sites like Amoma.com and HotelQuickly.com which have prices that undercut the brand’s direct website and other OTA channels

You would think that hoteliers would want to fix this problem immediately. Online wholesale business undercuts channels which are much more profitable such as their direct brand website.  This issue however is multi-layered and is not easy to remedy for the following key reasons:

Hotels still want wholesale business!

Hotels still maintain strong relationships with a number of wholesale partners, big and small, and they rely on these partnerships to generate base business. Turning off these channels would potentially mean the loss of significant revenues, at least in the short term.  Although wholesale channels can undercut other websites when sold online, they also still generate incremental business when sold offline through the traditional method

Finding the source of whole business online can be very difficult

When wholesale rates appears online, it’s generally very difficult to know which wholesaler specifically is providing that inventory. The wholesale partners themselves don’t generally sell rooms through their own websites, but sell their rates through wholesale aggregation channels such as Amoma.com.  It’s channels like Amoma who then sell the rates online through their own interface, and promote their rates through larger meta search intermediaries such as Trivago and TripAdvisor.  Generally the only way to find the true source is to make a test booking online, and then track how that reservation comes into the hotel’s central reservation system (each reservation is typically flagged with an inventory source).  Many hotels are reluctant to do this since a booking requires use of a credit card and sometimes even pre-payment, and then cancellation of that test booking is not always easy to do. The test booking process is both cumbersome to manage at scale, and is also financially risky for a hotel if those booking cannot be cancelled.

Room bookings can be made through Amoma.com and other wholesale aggregator websites by anyone online. However, the back end wholesale source for each booking from Amoma and other channels like it can be very challenging for a hotel to identify.

Employee incentives are at stake

Within hotel sales departments, team members are still incentivized to drive wholesale volume, regardless of where that volume is being sold (offline or online). Wholesale partners generally don’t provide specifics on how they are selling their inventory, and as long as room allotments are sold, the responsible sales team members are satisfied. This is creating an unavoidable rift between the direction of some sales leaders with the revenue management and digital strategy teams.

So what’s next?

Hotel companies are dealing with this situation in a variety of ways. Some are cutting off wholesale altogether since they simply can’t control where their inventory is ending up. Others are maintaining the partnerships, but are working to move away from static room allotments and over to dynamic pricing and availability where the hotels have more control over the inventory they send to the wholesalers. This is a major problem facing the industry that very much remains unsolved.
If we take ourselves back to the 2001, price transparency was a challenge for hoteliers. Properties simply didn’t have direct access to a large enough segment of customers, therefore traditional partnerships like wholesale was an absolute necessity. With the growth of the OTAs though, and the emergence of new technologies such as meta search, that access is no longer an issue. The world is accessible for each hotel with a few quick key strokes on a computer. It is now only a matter of time until hoteliers make one of the following decisions:

• Utilize wholesalers purely as another online distribution channel, selling rates that are parity with every other website (brand.com and OTAs)
• Remove wholesale out of the channel mix altogether, realizing that room inventory can be be sold among the multitude of websites and digital platforms already available

Latar belakang Pendidikan

Sebenarnya, yang sepanjang waktu membawa misi terpenting & hasil pendidikan itu adalah kita pribadi, bukan institusi pendidikannya. Apapun latarbelakang akademik & apapun nama besar institusi pendidikan yang pernah kita nikmati, masyarakat melihat KITA-nya terlebih dahulu. 

Jika kita banyak berbuat baik bagi masyarakat, fokus penghargaannya adalah pada orangnya terlebih dahulu. Jika kita brengsek pun, kutukan lingkungan langsung tertuju pada kita, bukan pada sekolah / kuliahan yang pernah kita jalani. 

Maka, kalo sejak awal kita udah menilai orang berdasarkan akademiknya terlebih dahulu, hasil penilaiannya akan bias, karena akan muncul ekspektasi tertentu yang justru gak relevan dengan karakter asli orang itu. "Loh, kamu kan sekolah di A, seharusnya kamu pinter dong..." "Loh, kamu kan kuliah di B, seharusnya kamu bisa kerja dong..." Inilah bias yang fatal di dunia kerja, bisnis dan korporasi; khususnya dalam hal rekrutmen... Hanya sekitar 5-10% saja bidang2 pekerjaan yang membutuhkan nama baik alma mater tertentu.

 Selebihnya, sangat bergantung dari karakter, reputasi, kompetensi dan etika kerja yang kita miliki. Selalu jagalah nama baik keluarga, alma mater, dan perusahaan tempat kita bekerja; melalui pemikiran, kata2, perbuatan dan sumbangsih terbaik kita pada masyarakat.
