[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Define "pushing back."  Is that part of this person's job?  For example, it this a lawyer telling you not to do X because Y?  Or an engineer telling you that an idea is not going to work because Z?  Or information security telling you not to ever do something because it has security implications?  Being a "yes man" isn't always the right thing to do, and saying "no" to things can be an important part of some jobs.

Or is it just a whiner who won't do his job?[/quote]

everything. 
anything i ask them to do or ask them to ask their reports to do. there is ALWAYS a problem. always a pushback. and the undercurrent of it is that I am not doing a good job and they are explaining it to me. 
However my bosses and everyone else we work with think i am doing just fine. and a lot of the pushback does not take into consideration the needs of the business. 
again though, I'm ok with pushback, but pushback on EVERYTHING is exhausting and a productivity killer.[/quote]
