I did this in Skype a while ago because one of the people had a lot of random stuff behind them and I was nosy. I tried to make them bigger to see better and in the process of doing so managed to pin them for the entire group.

I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work.

How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
