+Sometimes, you'll have to say no: No, I can't do it; no, it can't be made in
+this time; no, I don't feel capable of doing this; no, I don't feel
+comfortable writing this.

+
+Saying no doesn't mean you won't do it.  Once I had to say to our CTO: "Ok,
+I'll do it, but I want to note that I don't agree with what we are doing." In
+the end, the app was barred exactly because the thing we were doing.
+
+Being explicit about what you don't feel is a good point may not be what some
+higher ups are expecting. The fact that you don't approve but will do it
+anyway may be something that can either show that your not simply a drone or,
+unfortunately, label you as a "troublemaker". Honestly, if you feel it threw
+you in the former, you should start looking for a new place to work. If you
+said you won't be comfortable and still _did the work_, and they had to label
+you something, then this place doesn't respect you as a person.
