I have been working at my company for more than 10 years. I am in accounting and have risen up through the ranks to a mid management position. There were a series of org restructures and my team ended up reporting to a person who is a really poor people manager and needs everyone to say yes to them.
I have never been a yes man and through a series of events, I ended up openly going against this manager. Much of it was against how the person expected me to have my team work unnecessary longer hours and say yes to taking on more work.
I slowly started to get sidelined and he bypassed me to to get a manager reporting to me to get things he wanted done. Then I was labeled as a troublemaker and the senior folks were all given feedback about me.
I had been in discussions for a couple of years for a promotion. But I was told last week by a senior executive that they werent looking at me for that promotion anymore and that my prospects are limited in the company. I think I am about to be fired.
I had an exceptional record at being the person that could get things done. I just feel so stupid for standing up for my team and then one of them backstabbing me.
