Reading these threads, I'm either blessed working at a non-dysfunctional place, or people are exaggerating, or people are reading things into meeting invitations that aren't there? (For example, being invited to a meeting that you don't have to be there, but as a courtesy if you want to be there, so it did not take your scheduling into account.)
I’ve worked in places like this. You have to be careful what you push back on and how you do it. It requires a certain amount of political awareness and social skills.
Now that I have over ten years of experience and forced myself to learn how to handle conflict instead of avoiding it, this isn’t difficult for me.
