I've been in IT going on 40 years, and I've discovered it's often the 'bad apples' who have the best ideas and insights.
Conformity may bring a sullen peace to the workplace, but non-conformists often bring progress.
Wow,This is so true.
It's not that these employees are "bad apples", but the only ones that will speak up and question the actions/methods of management. The companies with lousy management just wanted the sheeple.
I was labeled the trouble-maker at my last job since I would have the nerve to ask the sometimes uncomfortable, but logical questions at staff meetings. It got to the point where the boss would ask me specifically if I had any other questions at the end of the meetings.
I would rather be the "boat rocker" any day...

You keep asking the 'Why?" questions, you get labeled as resistant to change. Then you have to keep defending yourself against this label. Not that I'm resistant to the change, I just think we need to make sure the change makes sense to us, and not be changing things just for changing. Or someone else has determined this is a "best practice".
