Speak up, it might not do anything, but I think there is a more telling issue if you don't agree with a policy. Might be time to move on.
Absolutely not; civil service is as bad with politics as anywhere
I have always said what was on my mind!
Usually it does not hurt as long as you are tactful and sensitive to others.
Yes, if I were to say no then I would be working with the wrong organization (bad culture)
Yes, I can speak out and it won't hurt my career.
Depends on time and place
No, it will hurt career unless you are at the top or your position isnso important that it doesn't matter what people think
No. Disagreeing with company leadership makes you a target for not being a "team player".
I feel that it wouldn't hurt my career if I spoke out against work policies.
Sometimes. It depends on the issue at hand. If it is something that everyone had agreed upon or follows as a standard practice, then yes. If not, leave it for another day.
If you disagree with policy you will always hurt your career, especially if you are female or non-white. HR is all about lip service and seeming to be good. Product looks at people like rungs on a personal ladder. Value is unimportant. The only thing that matters is next quarter's P&L statement.
Yes. I do feel everyone can speak out as long as it is rational and appropriate for the workplace.
It really depends on the upper management.
Division policy - yes. Corporate policy - no.
You have to be strategic about speaking up. Gauge the audience, their intent, and their ability to soak-in the constructive criticism. Often, in conventional industries, it won't go well, but growth-oriented sectors, welcome disagreements, as it provides an opportunity to find cracks, and fix them before, a rift occurs.
