Yeah I've had a few talkings-to in the past. My previous boss and I clashed on multiple occasions because I had the balls to disagree with her on some things. Nothing as serious as an official warning though.

The problem is, people see us strong, confident blokes doing their thing and not giving a fuck about what other people think and perceive it as arrogance. A while back I seem to remember Kowalski saying the same thing - he said something along the lines of "people who see me as arrogant are weak" - and he's absolutely right. Anyone with their shit in order wouldn't complain or discipline a chap just for being confident and "alpha".
