I had a boss who was using false information to tear me apart and threatened to have me sent to work in production by tossing me out of the prototype shop. Come to find out I had a coworker back stabbing me to take my role. So i positioned my self to let him take my role, and watched him fail for the next six months. Then I out shined him on a new machine / process that was far above his head. The boss who had it out for me, then demoted the guy who caused the issue and left me be 100 percent. With in about 18 months both were out of the department for good.
I have an issue with a manager and it did not go over well. It was a lot of nonsense that led up to the disagreement. Going back I would have sorted out those little things beforehand, it came down to a private conversation afterwards where we were able to be civil and figure out how to move forward.
Rising Star
Thankfully none of my disagreements have been major and I've been able to stay on relatively good terms with my managers.
I can't say I've ever let disagreements get to the point where I'd call them major. Early on someone gave me good advice about choosing your battles. He also suggested I read Sun Tzu. So that's been my usual strategy, knowing that the greatest victories require no battle.
Just by making sure there is mutual respect
While we have had disagreements I don't think that any of them have been major persay. We are both passionate about what we do so of course sometimes we disagree about the best course of action but at the end of the day its not anything that deep.
