Careful, uncovering truth might put management in a bad light.

Example from my life:

Me: Boss, the production database has had 2 failed drives for over 6 months, if we lose another our whole operation is cooked

Boss: If it hasn't failed yet, it can wait another 2 weeks

Me: It cannot

Boss: I'm not signing a PO

Me: Goes to Boss's Boss We are one hard drive away from losing the business, please sign this PO

Boss's Boss: signs quickly How long has this been going on?

Me: At least since October


2 days later:

Boss: You are being dismissed due to insubordination

Me: I literally saved your company

Boss's Boss: Sorry my hands are tied

Fuck corporate America for what they do to us on an hourly basis
