What's funny to me is how sometimes there are two qualities -- being both more competent (than one's peers) and not liked -- that in combination can further perceptions that someone "isn't a team player"..in the eyes of The Majority, the same people who are the real problem.
If the team says pigs can fly, the sky is red and Bob isn't a team player, all of those things might as well be true. After all, perception is reality.
