Hi Andrei, I'm not sure that this is about wrong or right. I think it is about cultural fit. I am not sure that I could work easily with people prepared to die in a ditch over a single pixel either. But then again, I'd be happy to offer my best advice and then see how the result worked in practice, no matter which way the decision went.
I think we all have the option to pick our battles, and should have the grace/maturity to accept that we may not fit into a given organisation (and subsequently walk). As cool as it is, I'm not sure I'd fit into the Big G either - although working with Mr Veen on the Analytics stuff would have been totally awesome. Have you read Bob Sutton's book with the NSFW title? Maybe we need a Designerly Way equivalent to the "when everyone around you is an a**hole, chances are, you are the a**hole" - and relate it to cultural fit.
