Two jobs after that, I got in a big argument with the CTO on a conference call in front of everybody my first month on the job, and they later tried to make me team lead when I was like 22 years old because I was the only one who could produce any useful (i.e. honest) information for them about what was actually going on with the project. I declined and quit instead to work at a startup with friends of mine. I was Peter Gibbons before Peter Gibbons was cool.

I think I have only ever had good stuff happen from arguing with management

It helps to be right, of course, but it gets you credibility with the other workers, and makes you known as someone who can say what they mean regardless of power dynamic

Maybe I'm just lucky that those above me on those occasions have liked those attributes
