Somebody asked me once, “What would you fire me for?” I said, “That’s a good question. Let me think. Well, certainly embezzlement, sexual harassment, or breach of confidentiality. Wait, I know what I’d fire you for. If we were discussing something that went wrong, doing a postmortem, and you said, ‘Oh, I knew that was a problem but nobody asked me.’ Then I’d probably run you over in the parking lot, because you would allow something to go wrong that you saw was coming.”
