Except I doubt you'd get fired/sued for doing it, which would be the corporate equivalent of what happened to tank man

- mcv 7y agoYeah, it's braver to stand up to him and tell him no. And I (or 'we', more accurately) have done that. Not to a VP, but to someone from business who insisted we should deploy a new feature to production as promised, when we decided it wouldn't be responsible to do so. And that was a meaningful feature, that we promised to deploy. It's just that we'd come to the conclusion that it wouldn't be prudent to do so at that time, so we didn't. Business guy didn't like it and spent some time screaming at someone (not me, fortunately). It is absolutely important to be able to say no to people who outrank you.
