British people asking “How do you do?” to each other where nobod…e.” I don’t want to tell her the pointless “Hey!” It’s not like I’m meeting her for the first time. Our “Hey!” is as pointless as British people asking “How do you do?” to each other where nobody answers. British people saying*.

What do you do when you disagree with your manager or someone senior to you? Do you voice your opinion or do you choose to keep quiet? Speaking truth to power is a rare skill. Telling someone above you that they’re wrong requires courage and confidence. Holding your tongue and staying silent or nodding your head in agreement even when you disagree definitely feels safe. It doesn’t require fighting your fears or going against your instinct.
