I guess it also depends on what kind of person you are. I experienced something like this recently and I did stand up for myself.
It did cost several people I cared about their jobs, it didn't cause the company to change much and the personal cost was very high, but in the end I'm still glad we stood up for our principles.
- krmmalik 14y agoI don't intend to sound facetious or condescending, but walking away would have been as good a way of standing up for your principles. At least in my opinion. Don't get me wrong. I've had more than my fair share of confrontations too, but you start to realise that that there are better ways to maintain your principles.
- mtrimpe 14y agoYour comment isn't condescending at all; re-reading mine it might actually have across as such. I think we're actually talking about different degrees of transgressions. I guess I wanted to say that if you feel the behaviour is too far out of line, say systemic overt discrimination or such, to also not be afraid to make a stand, speak up and accept that it might cost you your job. If anybody ever wants to go that route I'd suggest getting a lawyer / interest group on your side from the get-go though.
- krmmalik 14y agoI didn't feel yours was condescending at all. I guess we agree that people don't change ;-)
