Promoted.

Working with people of your age but not of equal maturity can be a trying experience. A friendly request was met with a lengthy email filled with personal attacks and threats. I actually laughed when he wrote about his professionalism.

I might be new, but I am not one who gives up without a fight. Through this, I also realise the importance of positive relationship with your superiors, to put it blatantly, 关系 ('guanxi') in my line of work helps. I have 2 officers to silence my critic.

A lapse of 3 weeks, the promotion order is finally in.
