Answer to: Repeated unjustified comments "your demonstration sucks" during a presentation

Ohh. Stupid Boss appears and kills the invention of your life. Believe me, not you are the first with whom it happens. What I see: The Boss was clearly unprofessional. One does not talk on this way to his own employee, particularly not to his skilled employee. The Boss is now in the process of delegating the task to the n+2 girl, thus the last what he wants, is dealing with the details of the work of someone on n-3 (for him). If he also fears his job or he is on serious uncertainity, yes he might pretty well say this. He can do that, you are a speck of dust to him. Very likely, he is not really interested in your work details. He was a Chinese and you are a Westerner, sad, but A) you have no proof B) probably he is pretty well accepted to do this to you, because you are a Westerner. Note, Taiwanese Chinese is a different Chinese dialect from Mandarin, they talk essentially on a foreign language even if they talk on Mandarin. Your key is n+2. She is becoming stronger and she has a direct contact with n+1. You can affect n+2 over indirect channels with n+1. You must reach with n+1 a shared reality about that your invention provides good results. If n+2 buys it, n+3 will say "OK". Talking with the HR was simply a stupid idea. HR is not your friend. HR represents the company, where n+3 is a local boss, and you are a foreigner level 0. They have even much lesser idea from your work as the boss. They are not interested. Their best to solve this problem is doing nothing and waiting for happening nothing. Their second best option to solve this problem is firing you. Hope that they will choose the first. Forget talking to the HR. You are not so important in the company as you would think. You have a development detail to make better drones, fine. He is reponsible for the work of about 100 guys, he barely knows their name, and the competitors are brutally strong. What to do "to your idea", that he would more happily delegate to n+1, he has a hundreds of more important tasks to do.
