I believe that Ive lost 2 maybe 3 jobs because of this
Because of not being an idiot? Great. /for all morons, this is obviously cynical sarcasm.
Careful, uncovering truth might put management in a bad light.
Example from my life:
Me: Boss, the production database has had 2 failed drives for over 6 months, if we lose another our whole operation is cooked
Boss: If it hasn't failed yet, it can wait another 2 weeks
Me: It cannot
Boss: I'm not signing a PO
Me: Goes to Boss's Boss We are one hard drive away from losing the business, please sign this PO
Boss's Boss: signs quickly How long has this been going on?
Me: At least since October
2 days later:
Boss: You are being dismissed due to insubordination
Me: I literally saved your company
Boss's Boss: Sorry my hands are tied
Fuck corporate America for what they do to us on an hourly basis
Don't underestimate the pride of people who make poor decisions and how much it hurts them when a rookie spots them
