Alternatively, he could just make the 'L' sign on his forehead before punching her in the foof. I'm sure he'll know what's best.

I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
Pretty pictures of stuff and things here...

I was impossible and coupled to the fact that we had to use Lotus Notes utilising all the complex group user functions ...
Jeez... so glad I don't have more than half a dozen Licklibrary daily these days!
In your situation, I would go over your manager's head and complain about your manager complaining about your going over their head. Maybe they'll be told to butt out.
This happened to me in one of my old teams. I spent a few weeks on a piece of work for central management. My direct manager asked me to send it over for proof reading, at which point he told me it was really good. Next thing I know he's sent it to central management himself with no mention of me, saying that it was something he put together.
I put a complaint in and it didn't go well. They just said I would have got the credit in other ways eventually. I'm not sure how though when he'd sorted it so that no one had a clue I'd done the work.
They may as well send us all Christmas cards dipped in shit with "Fuck Off" inside.
They made over £40M clear profit last year too.

I know the expectations of my job and the level, amount, and type of service I'm paid to provide. It's up to me to juggle it all, and this is the bit that gives me the conundrum. I like the freedom but don't get paid enough for the responsibility. Elsewhere I'd get better pay but all the responsibility would evaporate and I'd be back to code monkey unless I wanted to move into management.
Managing stuff, I'm good at. Managing people is something I've never tried and really don't fancy.
I had to organise it and pay for the whole bloody thing. Nobody else bothered to turn up. The boss got drunk and tried to shag my missus, failed, and was sick on my bed. I had to clean it up.
You should have seen the emails going round the next day tho...
There was much leftover food.
and frankly left that all behind when I hit 40 and said no more.
all that said you were flattered the big cheese asked you to provide him something directly so imparting recognition and status on you.
As you are part of the Team expectation is if any of the names you put forward fall under her remit you are effectively allocating her resources, disregarding anything she might have planned or been asked to provide.
obvious golden rule you always cc key people in. to save everyone’s ego you start the email hi Mr CIO here is the list you asked for.
cc in your line manager.
Back in the day I would of asked the same of you as she did.
Not out of petty mindedness or that I was ever weak or vulnerable just if I lead the team it is courtesy to make me aware of potential changes.
if your are playing that game you play by those rules silly time wasting but the rules of corporate life.
I'm going to give mine a miss; everything that I would be doing on the wasted day I'd just have to pick up otherwise, so I'll just use the time instead.
In previous years our parties have alternated between Bristol-area and North London. One year they had it in Bath Racecourse, with no overnight stay for "locals". I'm from Newport, so I just didn't go. I used to hate the big affairs anyway, with the absolutely crass sexual nature of the "entertainment".
