Probably lots of times that I wasn't aware of.
Once I got a disciplinary and six month "probation" for taking a day off that hadn't been approved. I'm not sure what I expected to happen, but I did it anyway because the a-hole who denied it took such pleasure in the denial that I absolutely had to take the day off anyway just to spite him. Frankly, he's lucky he was 1) bigger than me and 2) I'm not predisposed to violence. That smirk was an open invitation.
There was also the time I remember the boss of the company I was working for at the time coming into the room I was working in, standing there for a bit and then walking out. I'd thought it was weird at the time, but later heard that he'd been planning to fire me but saw me hard at work and chickened out. He later made me redundant, which I don't think was a surprise to anyone but me. He's a millionaire running a large US company now. Funny to think about really.
Sometimes you think you're introspective until you realise there's a whole bunch of things you've totally been missing or not facing. In my case, mental health. Looking back at the way I worked in all the jobs I had before I had to quit, I can see what I was doing in order to continue to function totally rubbed people the wrong way, even when it wasn't the overt, angry nonsense I started doing towards the end.
