Say you have a boss with very bad command of the language. You write papers in perfect grammar.

But during the review, she keeps introducing grammatical errors.

You highlight them, track the changes, and inform her that there are errors and you have made edits.

She rejects all your edits and the errors are all still there.

Then she wants you to submit the work,with all her errors, to the higher level.

And so, the biggest people in your workplace will think you are the one with the terrible language. And then the repercussion is, you get passed over for promotions.


How do you handle this?

That is very good. Is that a norm for civil service at 35 years old?

Your base pay is probably 9k+ per month or so. Probably a MX10 (or equivalent).

At age 35, that's very good. Easily top 10% of your cohort. Congrats.

Norm? Definitely not. His salary is actually at the end point of most degree holders' civil service career. If he reaches there at 35 years of age, he's definitely a good performer.
