      1. So, this is clearly some shit that I have gotten away with during my career because I'm a white dude. Like, 100% I am aware of this -- but I invite my team to do it to me as well. Sometimes, you gotta tell your boss "No, that's a terrible idea." It's important.

      Sometimes you're wrong! That part is OK! This means comms were bad between you and your boss and you didn't understand intention. Sometimes you're right! That part is OK! That means your boss may not have had all of the context needed to make a decision!

    Those who have reported to me for much time at all have probably heard "Wait... I saw you flinch there. Is this idea stupid? Tell me if it's stupid. You can say 'Jeff that's bullshit'" It happened today! We got to a better solution!

      Anyway, normalize telling your boss that their idea sucks.
