> You don't know how liberating hearing a guy like that say that. In my company, no way someone says that, they'd rather do absolutely nothing than risk anything.

It's also worth understanding the difference in risks and incentives.

Do you work in an industry where someone failing to speak up about issues with the work will directly risk other coworkers lives?

Where I work, the worst that happens from bad decisions is reduced profits. Besides the personal glory of "being right", there's no upside to sticking ones neck out. Especially if your manager is vindictive, and takes your "being right" over him as a reason to punish you. Better to let bad things happen, and then help fix the inevitable clusterfuck.

At the end of the day, reduced profits aren't great, but they're not an existential threat for the biz where I work.
