if you cannot fight her, join her

如你所说, "当然,我也觉得她在和老板communication方面,interpersonal skills和office politics方面比我强多了,将来前途比我远大。" 如你能看到, 老板也能. 所以以后和她相处应该尽量SUPPORT她, 当然得让老板知道.AFTER ALL, IT IS A JOB AND YOU ARE PAID TO DO WHAT YOU *BOSS* TELL YOU TO DO.
我也是learned it the hard way and got laid off two weeks ago.
It is hard to suck it up but sometimes you just gotta do it.
我老是觉得我们中国XDJM之间老是互相鼓励FIGHT因为我们老是担心马善受人骑. 但我们忘了很重要的一点, 那就是不要在错误的时间, 错误的地点, 和错误的对手打一场错误的战争.要战则必胜, OTHERWISE YOU'LL JUST MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF LIKE I DID ONE MONTH AGO. AND THE WORSE PART IS, I WAS NOT EVEN AWARE THAT THE WORSE WAS ON MY WAY.
