<p>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.</p> |
|
<span id="continue-reading"></span> |
|
<p>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.</p> |
|
<p>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 <em>did the work</em>, and they had to label |
|
you something, then this place doesn't respect you as a person.</p> |
