Ignore them. When you do have to interact with them, be polite and professional. No more, no less. Find other allies, at all levels, you will have a much better cohort than just trying to crack the Puffs (Gilmore Girls reference.)

When I first started at the company, I’m at now… I vividly remember arriving early to help the other admin set up for a quarterly Townhall. After we were done setting up all the food and everything, we all made ourselves a plate and then went into the room to take our seats before the masses. When I walked in… I saw the CEO’s assistant had reserved three seats. One for herself, and two for two of the other Admins. Leaving me out. I was just kind of like… OK cool I see how it is.

An accrual based C-Corp taxpayer completed a Chapter 11 reorganization and converted a total of $1M A/P to suppliers into a $410K LT note (a $590K liability reduction). Should we view this $590K as the Sec. 108(a)(1)(A) excludable income? After reading through IRS Pub 4681, I think it makes sense to view the $590 as "Reduced Price After Purchase", but not
