Yes and no. Sometimes letting someone be stupid means they’re quickly replaced by someone hopefully less stupid.

True, but I don’t think Keanu here is giving career advancement advice

Only the stupidity that affects your work directly.

Pff, past jobs I’ve been at, you got written up for not doing the stupid thing(policy related, nothing that would put you in actual danger).

You only need to have evidence of how it wasn’t ur fault, easy as that.

Right, so there’s very few middle management or C Suite jobs, got it.
