So what exactly was wrong with that, as she said they are not colleagues IN THE BOARDROOM, which they are not. It is not as if those in the boardroom are going to say "You should fire me, as they are much better than I am".
It is dog eat dog in the boardroom and you are there to fight your corner, nobody else is going to. She was just being honest and I like that about her, she speaks her mind and I do not see anything wrong with that.
