There's nothing wrong with being polite, we should all be that. What we shouldn't be is open to being taken advantage of. It's good to set boundaries at work and let people know when something goes over the line. Which can be done while being polite. It's like the old line about the businessman so skillful he could tell someone to go to hell and have them looking forward to the trip.

Yes I have definitely thought this before. I feel like it makes you a doormat who is always getting stuff dumped on you. They think you won't say anything so they keep piling thing after thing on you.

That’s true
On the flip side, I feel like I am too direct and that seems to be equally frowned upon lol
