The long and short about My Wonderful Boss
I was summoned to the office of Boss just now. I honestly thought I was going to get the sack, but I have no idea how wrong I was about my wonderful, charismatic, and utterly hamsen Boss.
I got promoted :)
After congratulating me, my Boss was fast to add that the decision was made before the whole complaint letter fiasco, and has nothing to do with the epic poem I wrote. It turns out that besides being very satisfied with my handling of the recent client accounts, he was also very impressed by the glowing feedback he received about my mentorship from Nerd’s uni following his internship.
So in a twisted sort of way , Nerd was the reason for my promotion. Heh.
Before I left his office, my Boss advised me to be more discreet with email correspondences, and also not to spend too much time on poems. I committed the wise words of the great man into my heart immediately. Indeed, I swear that henceforth, I shall strive to be a model worker who dedicates his life to the organization. I will bleed my own blood to fill my Boss’ pockets with money. And I will devote every single hour of my working hours to nothing but working. Right after I’m done typing this entry.
When I feel happy, I feel generous too. In fact, I’m treating Nerd to KFC later :)
With Love,
Sibeh Sian

You know you don't deserve this.
Your boss is just setting you up to take more responsibility so that you can make a bigger screw up.
Increase your pay so that your standard of living and hence your cost of living goes up. And just when you get married with kids, parents, a mortgage and car, then he'll sack you for incompetency, sue you for negligence and then bankrupt you and ruin your life.
Your parents will cry, your wife will take the kids and elope with some Italian playboy and you will end up sleeping at void decks and under the MRT tracks. The four wheels you own will be on the trolley which you go around with to collect throw away paper cartons.
And that will be why you are Sibeh Sian...
Muahahaha. You sure you still want to work for me?

you know what?
usually promotion = punishment for workers.
they get more responsibilities, requires committment but no direct benefits. i dunno if there's a pay raise, but hurhur.. good luck to you.

Green Ogre: On second thoughts, working for you will be a rather bad idea. Heh.
Spinnee: DARN! I forgot to ask about pay raise :(!!!!
Aphrodite: Oei! What 'foolosh mistake'?!?!?! Heh. Anyway, I don't think Ms Tan knows about the letter. She is not going to get the sack, and I'm still her direct subordinate despite the promotion. Oh well.
