> If your past warnings were ignored and you do not feel that there are any politics / biases / prejudices in active play, it is time to introspect, reflect, and ask: > “How will I make my case differently next time?” For me, this usually comes down to "Who will I make my case to next time?" - IE, if you aren't listening to me, making messes that I told you would happen, then expecting me to clean it up, it's time to go. And before someone asks, this has happened more times than I can count. You can never fully discount politics / biases / prejudices and in general (not just personal bias, but technological bias), I find these are the most obvious answers to how a team makes decisions that are against its own best interest. It very rarely comes down to "I made my argument wrong." If anything, on a good team, even if you make your argument wrong, other people will pick up on it and help to correct the wrong parts, and keep the right parts.
