    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
