Hurt you in what way? Have you become less knowledgeable due to your curiosity?
- giantg2 5y agoAny knowledge I do have is basically useless (Filenet, Neoxam, etc). In fact, some of the knowledge is harmful - I've learned more about the policies that are broken during performance evaluations, and of the lies the company tells. I ask questions that the company would rather I don't ask. I was in a meeting once that I disagreed with something that was being said. I knew enough to keep my mouth shut. Then the manager called on me to share my thoughts. So I gave him my opinion, which included a question to validate my theory. I was yelled at, in front of everyone during that meeting. I don't think I ever did get an answer to that question, even in private. I have 10 years of experience and a master degree. I've worked as a senior developer and a tech lead for a year each. Because I question things and am not a 'yes' man, I'm a midlevel dev with no future.
