Having to leave due to disagreeing affects you even if you eventually land somewhere else better. It absolutely alters the way you view that space between you and those with more influence than you, and you will likely do a bunch of added work trying to build yourself back up. Even if your confidence isn't shattered, you'll probably wind up doing a bunch of things mentioned in the article anyways, negating the advice of "just be honest". Unless of course you're stubborn, that does have its benefits sometimes! Also a lot of comments are coming at this from a boss -> employee role, but it also applies from a lesser known person on social media -> more influential person on social media too. Being honest and straightforward does not work there most of the time and leads to a lot of misunderstanding!
