1 - Never jeopardize your integrity!!! Once you do – it is over for you with that company.

2 - No matter how dumb it may seem - we have not been given all the facts. It may not change the level of dumbness but remember, there could be unknown variables associated with the topic. This could include directives from senior management that your manager can not negotiate.

3 - If you can inform the management in a tactful manner of the reasons why it does not make sense, you may enlighten them to a new way of thinking as to minimize these things from occurring in the future. Thus reducing stress for you and helping the management improve their technical decision making process.

Very interesting discussion!

Thanks, Joe
