Some good ways to get on my bad side:

1. Don't bother to enter the meeting you scheduled on my project into my calendar.


2. Be annoyed with me for not being prepared for a meeting I didn't know about.


3. Send an AE to our top three Japanese customers to do a half-hearted implementation of my project so they can get a "head start." Definitely don't tell me about the trip.


4. Make engineering decisions at the marketing level.


5. Insist on having me give a 1-2 hour presentation every week about my supposed progress.
