> What do you mean by "career limiting"?

Career limiting means you'll see less career advancements.

> speaking up like that should be considered a good thing.

Agreed. But in practice it's unfortunately not always seen that way.

> If it's not, why would you want to continue working there?

Because I weight several factors when deciding where to work and there are other benefits to working here.

So you mean career-limiting at that particular company? I understand. Thanks!

You may also get a bit of a reputation that may follow you around.

In areas with very close knit industries it can hurt your opportunities.

[JohnFen]

Yes, it might! But there are lots of employers who value employees who are focused on customer experience.

It's probably limited my opportunities some, but I can't really tell. There are plenty of opportunities out there, and if a company doesn't want me because I'm willing to be honest and argue for what I think is right, then that's a company I don't want to work for anyway. So it all works out for the best for everybody.

I totally understand and respect your ideals. I wish more people were like you. But at the same time you fail the see the nuance for why others might make a different decision. I think it's reasonable for someone to take a moral stance here, and I can also respect someone that choses to stay at the job that's the best at providing for their family. That's the insight I was providing.

Umm, I totally see why others would decide differently. Everyone makes their own choices and trade-offs.

I was just trying to point out that if the objection is that doing those sorts of things is a career-killer, that's objectively not true. It might mean that certain specific companies won't like you, but you won't be rejected by the industry overall.
