Ah, but I am supposed to attend this event and even forward the invite to my clients and prospects in the area. Hell, it's probably already gone out in some blast email. The guy running the event, while not an executive, has been with the company forever, doesn't like me (I think) and is generally difficult. The guy who I think wrote the invite is a complete stranger to me and I have no idea how he'd take it or who his boss is. I do know he works in the same office as my boss's boss and I see nothing good at all coming from trying to do the right thing. My boss is a VP and has some power. He can be fearless in flexing it at times, but is somewhat bi-polar and I question whether he'd come to my defense if this thing got passed around to other bosses. There really is no way out of this. Ignore my boss and risk having him ask me later if I did anything about it. Do what he says and wait for the $hitstorm to rain down upon me.
