Why hire foreign promoters if all they do is watch TV on company time?

The STOMPer wrote:

"I was passing by the mioTV booth set up at Suntec City on the evening of Jan 26 when I noticed that their product promoters, who seem to be of Filipino descent, were deeply engrossed in watching the TV programme showing on the display TV screen.

"On closer look, it turned out that they were watching the GMA channel, a Pinoy TV channel available on mioTV.

"This is not the first time that I have witnessed Filipino mioTV promoters at Suntec City making use of the convenience of their company's resources to indulge in their own personal leisure pleasures.

"I have observed in my numerous travels past the area that such incidents only happen when a majority of the staff on duty are foreign.

"By exploiting the resources of their employer for their own personal satisfaction at the expense of their designated work responsibilities, I feel that they are displaying a blatant lack of work professionalism.

"This certainly does not reflect well on SingTel and its efforts to promote mioTV. How can sales be achieved when the promoters are busy watching television at work? I definitely hope that SingTel will make a conscientious effort to remind its mioTV sales staff of the importance of proper behaviour in public."

SINktel will tell you that, the promoters are their outsourced contractor, in which they have no control.

What better way to promote MIO tv than to show an enjoyment of watching MIO tv?
