I report to the CFO. Today I sent a question to her and the CEO, and she said it "doesn't look great" that I'm sending him questions without running them by her first. To which I responded, "Sorry, I thought we had an open door policy."

... something tells me that's not stinging her as harshly as I'd like it to. I fear I am finding myself working under an insecure overcompensating female again.

@awl @bajax I have to be chill enough to work with. I'm not insulated from the consequences of being a dick.
I sometimes describe our incredibly rigid hierarchy to my newer coworkers as a militia, and I'm an NCO
At the end of the day I am not flying very many mistakes high before my political capital would be expended and my ass would be grass.

@Sophia Tolstaya You're in a situation where you've got to decide what to prioritize, the corporation or your own well being, if the corporation fight until you prevail, if your own go somewhere where you are more appreciated.

@nanook I had an interview for a CFO position yesterday, actually. I'd be shocked if they made me an offer, but also I'd seriously consider it.

In the meantime, I'm going to keep fighting the current organization. Even though my work bestie keeps warning me to give up and lay low, I can't keep quiet about the problems as I see them.
