I mean, if you're the one coming up with the strategy, and someone else says "yeah, that's been tried a few times and never worked", I think it is then on you to explain why This Time Things Will Be Different!
- spywaregorilla 5y agoNo, not really. You are presumably on a team together. You should discuss it and share your knowledge and figure it out, together.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoPart of that is saying "this has been tried several times and it has failed". As in, you shouldn't try this unless you know why it failed before and why it will be different this time. That isn't on someone else to figure out for you, unless you want to task them with figuring it out for you I guess. Honestly, if I worked for someone who got angry and called someone a moron immediately for questioning their new strategy I'd be looking for another job. Nothing is worth dealing with that kind of person.

Also correct > That isn't on someone else to figure out for you, unless you want to task them with figuring it out for you I guess. No, completely wrong. You're in a meeting. Collaborate. You are nothing but a huge detriment if you just voice your opinion, put your head down, and smugly say "told ya so" if they do it and it doesn't work. It is on the team collectively to solve problems together and you get 0 points for being right in retrospect.
