you don't need to add a failure to any metaphorical list-
-because you haven't failed. You made suggestions, and they declined them.

In other words, you did the work properly but they chose not to use it. Their decision, so their problem.

Call me a cycnic, but is it possible that the other staff did not, in fact, complain about you? That it's only something you're being told to ease their own guilt / encourage you to go quietly / discourage you from talking to said staff and gaining sympathy or finding out sinister truths?

I wouldn't be surprised if in fact your ideas have been noted, to be stolen, claimed as someone elses, and implemented after your departure. But then I worked for pure bastards.

No
the complaints were quoted to me (anonymously) but they were so specific I knew exactly who must have been saying what.

Ah well, live and learn.

too many workplaces are like a schoolroom popularity contest
this is pathetic when one is 14 in school, it's just mental inadequacy when it's 40 year olds

when you've moved on, and doing better, those lifers will still be wallowing in their miserable mire.

just think happy thoughts :D
