Dear Racer,
For Heaven's sake, that's not a lesson you need to remember!!!!I'm working with a client in a tech writing/prod department, filled with employees and sub-contractors who have been whipped into submission by an insensitive, incompetent manager and it is literally costing my client thousands upon thousands of dollars. To give you just a brief example, one sub-contractor working as a proof reader was working from THREE copies, edited by THREE different individuals to make the final to send to the client. As a pro, you can imagine the nightmare that ensued.
It's not speaking up that's the problem - the way in which you speak up could help the situation or make it worse. However, NOT speaking up makes it worse for you (NOT a good thing) and worse for your client.
So, dear Racer, please continue to speak up!!! If I can help, please let me know!Affectionately,
Coral
