Sales rep smiles awkwardly at new Sales Director, who looks put off by him.

For example, at some companies, a rush job might still take a few weeks, depending on how many people are lined up in that chain of command. The other company might consider a rush job something that needs to get done by EOD.
The employees are bound to bump heads on that, as well as just general etiquette issues.
Like, at some offices, it's commonplace for a boss to stop by their employee's desk to inquire about a project. At other companies, that would be seen as totally impolite — instead, they're used to things like that happening over email.
This person thinks they messed up bigly when talking with their new Senior Director… but did they?

Pestering your new boss because of an emergency on your end is certainly a choice! It happens every now and then, though. And I imagine she had sympathy for this guy, because as a sales rep, getting things to your clients on time can affect your income stream. If you can't get something into the client and they drop you, you're losing out on commissions or bonus money.
That shows that this boss has a good heart and is caring towards her employees. After all, she could've pulled that “Poor planning on your end does not constitute an emergency on my end” card, as so many folks do in the corporate world. They're correct about that. But working in this manner has bought this boss loyalty from an employee who remembers how she helped them in their time of need.

This person added a little epilouge
Good news! She didn't take any notice of this person's hasty demands. She seemingly just took it all in stride. Let's hope they continue their harmonious working relationship from here on out.
