Making decisions without the final authority to officially make them adds to my risk if they don’t back the decision later. Taking that risk only makes sense if you seek internal raises and promotions. If you go externally for promos and raises, there is only downside to making decisions without the official authority. So I refuse to make any decisions at work at all as a low level grunt. Everything goes to some manager.
