HR here. Unfortunately, you are in the wrong. Memes aren't professional communication. If you're in an established group of friendly coworkers, it might be alright. Your meme could be interpreted in different ways, some of which wouldn't be well-received.
If I'd received the notification from the CIO, I'd be addressing it with you without pause. Why does the CIO's age matter? I didn't realize humor was bound by age.
In the future, if you'd like IT to know you've been waiting for their response to your request, I suggest communicating with your manager.
Also, you're likely in the right position because you sound like you may deal better with data than with people. People don't care about your ideas regarding operational efficiencies when you don't work to establish a relationship with them. Your responses in this thread indicate you need to take a step back and ask yourself about how you carry yourself into your environment.
Congrats on the PhD. I suppose you were hoping to hear that from somebody. Maybe now that you've proven yourself to be a professional academic, you can focus on proving you can be professional.
There's nothing here!
