i agree with you 100%.
i was called in to a meeting last month with one of the people that can not stand me and the president of the company.
I was told I am not a team player by the president because this putz is friends with him and filled his head with lies about me.
2 days before the meeting i sent a harmless message to the guy that does not like me(he is not a manager, but has seniority). I asked him if WE can come up with a solution for me because I felt MY plate was full with work. I did not get bitchy or whine about it i just asked for some help.
he said he will come up with something. Well 2 days later i am in the conference room getting BLASTED by him and the president of the company!
I sat there and listened to what they had to say and about 10 minutes in to it, i politley asked if i may interject.
The president said sure.
I proceeded to inform BOTH of them that I do not appreciate the insinuations against me and that it WAS NOT TRUE. The one guy kept trying to cut me out and defend himself, but i was pushed around by this guy for the better part of a year and had enough.
Because we make monitoring software we are monitored. I told the president that this guy is telling half truths and i feel so confident that I am overworked that he can review my recording on ANY given day and SEE FOR HIM SELF that I was not only teling the truth, but indeed over worked.
They both sat there stunned because I NEVER spoke to them like that. I do not know if he ever went back and saw how over worked i was, but it was never brought up again.
My point is that the guy who i asked for help with my plate being full tried to get me A) Fired or B) in BIG trouble and look bad in the eyes of the president. i not only stood my ground, but i embarrased and humiliated this guy.
