Dear manager to whom I do not report:

I don't care if you are the CEO of our big-a$$, gigandawanda company. Your title alone is not enough for me to bump you to the top of the list. If you want to meet with me, tell me WHY you come before sales and revenue-related commitments I have already made.

And b!tchy responses just make me even more likely to hold my ground to follow directives given by my manager and expectations from sales mgmt all the way to the top of our big-a$$, gigandawanda company that is in the last quarter of the fiscal year. Contracts and moolah come first, not your title.
