100% agreed. In my experience the two possible outcomes are:
- Everyone respects you more and you get to say your piece; whether or not anything you were saying gets taken on or acted on, is uncertain, but sometimes yes
- The person you're talking to gets all huffy about one of the underlings talking to them like that, but nothing really happens
... and #1 is honestly more common than the other one in my experience. IDK, I also got fired from some jobs when I was young because of it, so maybe don't take my advice too wholeheartedly, but I found the result to be way better and the risks to be overblown compared to what they seem like they would be.
