I suspect like most folks the poster probably is frustrated by disingenuous civility rather than "nice" behavior...

Asserting ones personal priorities supersede the defined goals is also a classic mistake, as productivity means different things to different people.

One can have high output, but still be a liability for company projects that require cooperation with other disciplines including business operations.

Yes even geniuses get fired for poor team conduct, and it is usually always a surprise to their ego.

I am not saying you aren't necessarily on a boondoggle project, but rather your role is likely poorly defined in the team. A common issue for smaller firms, especially relevant when layoffs are in the pipeline. i.e. better to bail than be declared redundant or a problem.

Have a great day, and lets try to be less presumptuous about other peoples motives Professor X. =3
