You can't just raise every objection, petty or not, and feel justified when a couple of them turn out to be important. The ideal to strive for should be to identify non-petty objections and only raise those. Raising many petty ones are actively harmful to the social fabric of the workplace.
- Zikes 13y agoAs I explained in my parent comment, "petty" is far too subjective a term. I have no doubt that I'm seen as captious by many of the people I work with because I bring up problems that they see as petty, but my unique perspective on the project at hand puts me in a position to see the significance of that issue and how it applies to the project as a whole. But if those people read the linked article, they'll say "oh, he's just being captious" and be dismissive.
