If they are adopting stupid methods which will not work then someone should talk out.
I know I do and have also been sacked for it as well.
But I would say it is more "Devils advocate" than trouble making.
But people in power see it as being a smart arse and making them look bad – as they are the ones telling the project to go down this route.
If someone under me tells me there is an easier way to achieve a goal I am all for it (as long as it will work) as sometimes even the seasoned can miss an obvious item.
I have been in many meeting when people have a great idea but say nothing.
Thanks for the reply – for a moment there I thought I was the only one who has had to deal with d!ckheads !!!!
