Do the right thing, wait to get fired
I'm not exactly disagreeing, but don't forget the other side too -- that you might not know what you're doing, that you might not understand the good reasons that certain rules are in place, that you might not understand the big picture and that your actions might backfire and/or be counterproductive.<p>Don't forget to be humble too, and realize that what you <i>think</i> is the right thing, isn't always the right thing. There's no inherent valor in "breaking the rules" -- if you can, it's much better to gently persuade, bring people to your side, and talk things out.<p>Again, not disagreeing with the article, just pointing out that life isn't that simple always.
