Oh, Jess, I know that CYA feeling!
Boss knows about this nonsense in general, although I haven't bothered him with this latest bit. He will back me up if necessary. Thankfully this episode didn't go to that level. Some folks just like to see how far they can push things and back down when someone says "no".
In fact, I have suggested in meetings with my boss and his direct reports that if we are to meet this year's aggressive goals, we are going to have to get more comfortable with saying "no" a little more often. Too often we try to be "nice" and end up spending a lot of time on things in which we shouldn't be involved.
It's like the family scenario where there's one person that everyone comes crying to for "help" and they feel they can't say "no" until things get to a point where saying "yes" becomes detrimental to their own well being. That's where we are right now.
