You’re making a lot of assumptions. The reality is that I was going to be in that city for other reasons, and the visit to his house—which I appreciated and wanted—was tacked on to that trip, and followed by a party the CEO hosted for everyone else who was also in town.
Well, okay, I'm not going to contradict your personal experience. But here's what you said in your article:
> It started half a year ago, in September 2023. My CEO asked me how I was measuring productivity. I told him it wasn’t possible. He told me I was wrong. I took offense. It got heated.
> After things cooled off, he invited me to his house to talk things over in person. (We’re a fully remote company, in different parts of the country, so face time takes some arranging.) I knew I couldn’t just blow off the request, so I decided to approach the question from the standpoint of accountability. How could I demonstrate to my CEO that I was being accountable to the org?
So what I knew is that you said you didn't want to do something, you had an argument, he asked you to come to his house, which is not in your home town, to talk things over, and you knew you couldn't just blow off the request, and had to demonstrate your accountability to the organization. True or not, can you see how one might draw the conclusion that you were forced to present yourself to the CEO in his house in order to show that you were going to toe the line?
