I agree on some level with the article; however, there are always situations where things get complicated. One time, I was working and I made my boss aware of an issue with one of the systems. At the time there was an audit going through and this would have delayed the results for quite a while. After making him aware of the issue I was let go 2 days later. I feel like it's very important to be loyal to the boss; however, I also think there is a line that should be drawn in the sand in regards to self preservation. The best places I've worked have been the places where my manager has an open door policy, and where my manager is very good about communicating what he/ she thinks without letting things build up into resentment.
