Tan works for a MNC as an assistant under the regional director. Being the talkative, he has no problems becoming good friends with his boss. The boss even promised him that if he is promoted to other positions, he will bring along Tan. Now Tan, with the boss at his back, became arrogant and use this power to boss his co-workers.
Unfortunately, it didn't last for poor Tan. The boss was promoted and moved to Shanghai. But he did not bring Tan along. The new regional director is an old rival of Tan and he hired a fresh graduate as his assistant. Tan was brushed aside to a corner. Under the new reign however, sales suffered. Clients just do not trust the new boss and his inexperienced assistant. Tan, who has the gift of the tongue, was the one that pulled in clients and keep them satisfied.
How can the new boss salvage the situation? He has his own pride and as Tan's rival, he just cannot bring himself to approach Tan for help. But if he doesn't do it, he face the wrath of his own boss. Tan, of course, being a selfish one, will not help and rather sit in the corner and watch.
The rest of the office is too scared to step onto this powder keg. What do you think can be done?

I don't understand why there are no comments here. Are you interacting okay with your blogging group? have you commenting on others' posts?
Hey weili, i shall be the honoured one to comment on your post! As for brad, i think the main reason why people ae not commenting is that the scenario is hard to relate to and it is a bit of a difficult situation here. Alright, i feel the new boss should do what he has to do in order to secure his very own job. Forget about saving his own face. Apologise for all the wrong stuff he did in the past and ask for forgiveness. Start to build a good relationship with Tan and promote him to be his assistant. Turn the rival to his side. This is a good opportunity to secure his own job and make a new friend, don't you think?
There are a few language problems in this post, but
the main problem, Weili, is that it is too open-ended. (Is Miko alluding to that by saying others can't relate?)
I would have preferred if one of your blogging group members would have mentioned this. But they haven't so I must. Asking what can be done without focusing on one person's perspective makes this a very tough task.
