[DefendTheTruth]

I had a conversation with a superior (big boss) at one time in my life of employment. There was a discussion about a disagreement between me and my supervisor (my manager) and I was dead sure that my boss had no justification what so ever and if I could bring my case to his superior, then I will be cleared of his overreach, which was pretty cumbersome for my career.

So, it was me that complained about my manager at one time and I got the possibility to explain what was going wrong between the two of us. I happily accepted the proposal for a meeting.

I presented my case, my boss also to some extent, but I am the feeling that the two had a separate discussion about the issue before the one with me that I am talking about here.

We were 4 heads in the meeting, all three with some level of higher position to that of mine, one is a kind of technical consultant, officially but also with much more power to have a say. I started to reiterate my case and tried to convince the superior about what has been going on wrong with my boss, according to my feeling.

The superior found me wrong already after I expressed my first round of complains.

I was shocked, that someone will tell me you are wrong, becuase I thought I must have been the "victim" around the issue of our discussion and was dead sure that the superior would tell my manager, it was his overreach.

I tried to defend myself and started to argue against the claims of the superior too.

The short answer I got was and still sticked with me is the short reply: "does not matter, whatever you say". Mind you, I was there hoping the issue would get arbitrated and that was the sense of the meeting, why I was there.

If what I say doesn't matter, then how on the earth is something going to be arbitrated, if it was not an arbitration, then why was it even necessarty to call the meeting? This question remains a one I had never found an answer to it, already a number of years since.

I remembered about this issue, after reading in the media (western media) over the internet today about an alleged "lack of free access for the aid agencies in Tigray".

The Ethiopian government has declared that it has withdrawn its forces back and declared a unilateral ceasefire, but the aid agencies can't find "a free access to deliever their aid" still. I just wondered myself who is hindering them still?

So, no matter what the Ethiopian government does, the aid agencies will never find "a free (unfettered) access" .
This is part of history.
