You decide to be ruthless. You call a stakeholder meeting and announce: "We're cutting scope to core features only. Everything else goes to phase 2 or gets dropped entirely."
You present your prioritization framework. You show the data. You explain the trade-offs.
Marketing is furious - their social integration was "critical." Sales is livid - custom reporting was "promised to clients." The CFO's blockchain exploration gets axed and they take it personally.
Within a week, you're in a meeting with the CEO. "I'm getting complaints," they say. "People are saying you're difficult to work with. Not collaborative. Too rigid."
"The whole point of Agile is flexibility and stakeholder collaboration. You're being too controlling."
Your carefully planned scope gets overruled. All the features get added back. Plus a few more "to rebuild relationships."
You're now working on an impossible timeline with impossible scope, but now everyone thinks you're an asshole.
Your performance review uses the word "abrasive" three times.
