> And one time I was basically fired for it, and the work buried by a psychopath, and the remaining team did it anyway and delivered the solution, averting a product-ending scaling cliff. YMMV.
You're triggering my PTSD. Not to brag, but on paper, I was top performer in the dept at a previous employer. Was loyal, busted my ass, tried and many times did save the company money, but because I started posing a threat to my two sociopath managers (yes, two legitimate sociopaths) and spoke up against unethical (and likely illegal) activities of theirs, they made my life hell and eventually "laid" me off.
Getting fired was actually a blessing though, so fuck them. I'm not playing scummy games and larping as an asskisser for brownie points any more and have been much better off.
