Trying period for both my wife and myself

What do we need to do to get our career kick start at mid-age? This period did not occur the smoothest career tempo for my Queen and myself.. My queen runs into the laziest "Miss Hollywood" as his immediate superior who only work on jobs that inherit limelight, those dim and unglamourous work was left to my wife.. and last minute ones too... for a few of the "tasks" were tasked at the eleventh hour.. Such convenience to get someone to take the blame..

For me... I recently got into some what I called "unlucky event" and got honour to be the scapegoat for the incident.. This had also resulted in my performance bonus, for last year good work that I had put in, being withheld until further notice by my policy department.. I just do not understand why would the organisation punish their employee for the slightest mistakes they commit, even though it did not compromise the organisation's position in any way...

My subordinate got into some scuffles while he was partying.. As young punks always get themselves into after downing mugs and mugs of alcohol, fights.. He was a victim of the STANDARD staring case as claimed by the other party, guess it is just an opening statement to find someone to beat up.. Of course, my guy did what I felt the most appropriate action, retaliate and punch his way out.. Guess what, he was stopped by the Police while running away from danger.. The Police could not officially conclude who had started the fight and hence gives the both of them stern warning in lieu of prosecution.. well even though the other punk got some previous track record of affray before this.. Guess what, the Police forwarded this decision to my organisation who decided to punish him for getting into trouble.. Despite numerous attempts to appeal to my HR that he was the victim, with no concrete evidence to prove his innocence, (Well if the Police cannot find any, how can I??) his promotion and bonuses SINCE last July was withheld until further notice by the Policy Department.. What bullshit!!! Ten months on and they cannot decide whether his bonus is forfeited..

Things can only be better... Lets pray hard for the turn of events..
