Fred: My promotion has been pending since August of last year. Can I know what is the status now?
Manager: Er... I have been following it up with the Human Resource deparment. It seems that they have lost your promotion letter. But there is no problem, I have re-submit the promotion request to them.
Fred: Will the salary adjustment be back dated to August? As I was supposed to be promoted during that time.
Manager: Er.. No. This year's promotion request is only limited to this year's salary adjustment. I am sorry but this is the company's policy.
Fred: But, losing that promotion letter is not my fault and I am penalised for the management's screw up.
Manager: Yes, but there are rules that we have to follow. Look at the bright side, you are not the only one whose promotion letter got lost.
lol. dun get it. does it mean that the manager was also supposed to be promoted?
lol... explanation a bit blur tho.
