> Try telling your boss they're not as smart or talented as they think they are and see how that goes.

Why would I? My boss is very smart and talented :) No, seriously, I'm anonymous here so it's not because my boss would be reading it - I just not enjoy working for idiots and I have the luxury of being able not to do it for long.

But in general yes, telling people they're idiots doesn't usually go well, so don't do that either.

> "making broad generalizations about your coworkers based on their gender"

Oh it has nothing to do with gender. If've seen hyperwoke males as much as I seen females. It's the type you want to bite your tongue around, not gender.
