> Broadly, maybe. At work, I don't care about being liked by people that can't admit they are wrong. Why do you presume all outcomes of your eggregious interactions is placing blame on others? It seems you are totally oblivious to some of the most basic principles of working in a professional environment: if you antagonize and attack your team members, you are not trusted to help out and have their backs. This means you are not an asset but a liability. Working close to you is making them vulnerable to being stabbed in the back by you at the slightest issue. And that's why you are not liked, even if/when you are right. All the people can be right, but that doesn't justify you insisting on pissing on everyone else's cereals.

Maybe I'm not expressing myself well enough, but I'm not sure why you jumped from "telling someone they are wrong" to "antagonize and attack". I feel like you can almost always do the first without incurring in the second. I 100% agree that if you tell people they are wrong aggressively and arrogantly, that will backfire, and they are probably justified in ignoring your correction. But some people, and particularly some organizations, seem incapable of accepting even the most thoughtful correction, and that's the kind of place/people I'd rather keep a distance.
