I am not any longer. I bit my tongue for over a year. I am no longer in that situation but I expressed my feelings professionally at the end. They think I have an attitude problem.

If you are doing things in a loving Christian way, and not having any conflict and not having problems w/ people then you shouldn't be having problems.

Other peoples problems are their own problems. be it they are liars or not, we cannot judge and we cannot deal w/ it then it's time to not deal w/ them. Conflict or anything negative won't resolve anything. Just pray about it and you'll be fine as long as you don't participate in anything that you in your heart isn't good.

I mean if you are wrong, but believe that you are right, no one will agree with you and their claim that you have an attitude problem turns out to be true.
If you cannot admit to yourself that you might be wrong you might have a real problem, because what started as a discussion will only end up in a shouting contest.

I don't know you well enough to say that you are dishonest or not.
Tricky, on that note, I'll add, Greatday is a very kind person. Let's leave another forum in another forum okay. Be fair about it.

In that case examine what you are doing wrong.
And ask yourself critical questions as:
- Why can't I, even with all the gathered evidence, can't get my point across?
- Is my evidence correct?
- Do I have more than 1 independent source that correlates with my evidence?
etc.

Don't worry, it isn't of The Lord, and the time you spend in worry will never come back to you!

Be happy okay! have peace of mind and heart! I'll think the best for you.

Let go... and Let God... that is all YOU have in your control. Can't change other people you can only change yourself.

Five people left this job in two months. Would that be enough evidence?

It depends if their leaving had anything to do with the problem.
When you go against people who have more resources than you, it becomes imperative that your evidence is 120% correct.
And even then you might not win because corporations can stall for ages while you must find another way of income.
