All the time. Yes I get chastised but more often than not I come up with some really awesome ideas.
Have you ever made a decision at your workplace and acted on it because you thought it was best for all and then got chastised by a boss for it afterwards?
Yep.
And I'm probably gonna do it next week, again.
I've been waiting 2 months for final approval on new ID badge layout, and sent them 4 worksheets for official dept/job names - and still haven't heard back. But the CEO wants the new badges by the end of this month, so I have to ... HAVE TO ... Start printing them next week.
All the time then I told the boss to take this job and shove it
Absolutely. At my old job I tried to implement a faster system to help organise psychology appointments and do the reception work faster. And my boss freaked out because only my manager and I could understand the system.
Oh yeah, that's the way the cookie crumbles. But let me tell you, nobody chastises like the Japanese.
I was working for the Tomen Corporation in Sydney in the early 90s and one day the boss came into my office and said, "If you ever do that again I will bring a ceremonial knife into this office and watch you ritually disembowel yourself."
No, I never did it again. I wasn't sure if he was kidding.
