My last job was one where I simply did not get invited to meetings. My successor 
said that they simply not want someone smart (not to mention smart alecky) 
suggesting things that They don't;t want to hear.

My "favorite" incident was when they spent a huge amount of money on a Playboy 
license, which I suggested they were about 30 years too late for as the world 
had moved on.

We sold about a thousand garments, and sometime later there were 12,000 
in-sellable garments sitting in the warehouse.

Of course, I've also been criticized for not being gracious with "Told you sos".

OTOH, they knew I was the best at doing  what I did, and knew I wasn't keen on 
interruptions.

Cheers,
Jim
