I am hired because I know what I am doing, not because I will do whatever
I am told is a good idea. This might cost me bonuses, raises, promotions,
and may even label me as "undesirable" by places I don't want to work at
anyway, but I don't care. I will not compromise my own principles and
judgement without putting up a fight. Of course, I won't always win,
and I will sometimes be forced to do things I don't agree with, but
if I am my objections will be known, and if I am shown to be right and
problems later develop, I will shout "I told you so!" repeatedly, laugh
hysterically, and do a small dance or jig as appropriate to my heritage.

Is this the right attitude? Or should we be the Yes-Man? Do other folks question our integrity and suspect our hidden agenda that does not exist?
