There are 3 situations 1. No one is being an asshole, it's a real misunderstanding or difference of opinion. The article basically helps you in this circumstance. It's rare. 2. The other party is an asshole. They should be fired. If no one gets along with them this is probably true. 3. You are an asshole. You should be fired. If you find yourself always working with people you think are assholes this is probably true. Figure out if it's 1,2, or 3 first

I'm not sure being an asshole is enough to get fired if you're doing the job and not breaking any rules. I suppose it depends on what "being an asshole" means in this context. If it means rude or curt or whatever, then no. If it means actually breaking the rules, then sure.

I think it's more likely that number 1 is the norm and 2 and 3 are the rare exceptions. We aren't omniscient beings. Your perception that person A stole credit for your idea may forget that person A was involved or doesn't account for the work they did that you weren't aware of. 3 people sit around at a table during happy hour discussing ideas for an offsite. Person A suggests that they have it in Atlanta and provides good justification. Later, Person B follows up with their contact in finance to see if they can extend the budget, and gets it approved. Person C, who's job it was to plan the offsite, coordinates with the travel coordinators, gets invitations sent out, and other various Who's idea was this? Who deserves the credit? I think all 3 have claims and it'd be easy for each one of them to accuse the other 2 of idea theft or taking credit for things they didn't do. A contrived example, yes, but I think misunderstandings due to a lack of seeing all the information/data happens more often than people realize.
