So a while ago Audi invited us to its A8 launch event which was hosted for THEEE elitist crowd which means there was little talk of the car, except how glorious and technologically superior its new headlight technology is, but there was glamor all around, music and dinner all around which was nice but we got rather bored over there and I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about the event.

Ever since then, Audi has held a grudge against me. The bosses in my company met with them here and since they are a corporation for profit, they apologized to them without me even getting a gist of it, just so I don't barge out of office.

Now though, Audi didn't communicate to us the 1.2 A3 launch and people who bought it, emailed me stuff, etc so I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about the car with my opinion involved (mostly favorable), where I tried to move public opinion in favor of the 1200cc engine and I got another email with a lot of anger and fury. It has made me so much pissed at them that I went to the roof on the 15th floor, sat down, light up a smoke and think of the ways I can destroy them. Create an imperialistic army and shove a death star right down their throat and have them shit out new clean brain star which I can replace it with the current execs head.

Obviously, I cannot share with you the entire email, but I have yet to reply and I am just trying to keep myself calm. Even though no one ever dares question or goes against me and actually stands by our content but this exec (also owner of the local franchise) is holding grudges.

Just read whatever you send about 9 times before you send it. I learned that one a long time ago.

Yeah. Thanks for the advice. Have been following it for a while but not religiously.

If you guys read both the linked articles, I only wish I could share the emails. I mean I am waiting for my anger/rant mode to subside so I can respond rationally.

I read both of your articles, good stuff but I do kind of see where Audi might be pissed. Truth hurts sometimes.

This was after my time - used to work at this firm, but here's a cautionary tale .

I asked them to tell me one single thing that I mentioned is wrong from the event, they said no. They just wanted me to run advertorial. I just wanted to tl;dr to his email but let's see. Cheers.

Woah. That was a close call. Good on the guys at the firm though for accepting it as how buddies usually talk with each other.

Mine is a different case. The country manager Audi has gone bonkers and he's mad at today's article on me comparing the power output of the 1.3 liter engine of the Corolla and Audi's 1.2, which was done, simply to educate the people that Audi's 1.2 is more powerful and economical. And he just embarrasses himself saying you should've compared with BMW, but duh, BMW doesn't have a 1.2....

Saying Audi does more with less is a good thing, as far as I can tell. Superior engineering? Vorsprung durch Technik? Did they forget that shit?

haha. I don't know. As far as everyone who read the piece said that it was in favor of Audi if anything, but my colleagues have said that we're gonna deal with him. You do not have to worry about him. He's gonna get a reply from us.

Though I wanted to reply myself but colleagues and boss said, it wouldn't be appropriate, let us rip him a new one.
