Sometimes it is best to let your employer shoot themselves in the foot. It is often less stressful than arguing with them. I've certainly heard "I don't pay you to think" and "we'll do it my way because I say so" more than a few times. By the time I reached 25 or so, I just decided to roll with it because I was there to get paid and not to win any battles.
- nikau 4y agoYep after a while you learn which battles to fight - will the outcome make my life harder? sure I'll fight it hard. If its just a negative for the business but no impact on me I'll point out the issues but wont go any further than that.
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoDisagreeing is not arguing. You don’t have to fight decisions. You can politely point that you have reservations or questions about things without being confrontational.
- JohnFen 4y ago> I've certainly heard "I don't pay you to think" Woah, you have?? Odd -- software engineers, anyway, are literally paid to think. I've never heard anything remotely like that, but if I did, I'm sure I'd start looking for a new place to work. That would be a clear sign that I'm not a good fit in that company.
