@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic I used to think I must be so stupid, because every time I'd try participate in any kind of planning I'd receive so many negative responses I figured I must be really bad at it. With the benefit of hindsight, I realise that people were actually receiving my critiques, usually flaws in approach that were obvious to me, as personal attacks or intellectual grandstanding. I was legit just trying to be helpful! Not my fault they were too insecure to benefit from it!!

@Vincarsi

Part of my current job is to look at processes and systems and ask "OK, where could this all go horribly wrong?" and point out whatever I can think of. Anything from the arrangement in the labs to someone dropping an assembly (that's happened.)

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic

@ScottSoCal @Vincarsi @AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic Is that really the job, or do they want someone who can be blamed if things go wrong, but until then doesn't annoy anyone else?

@PossiblyAutistic

No, that really is part of the job. I have the authority to put production on hold if they don't fix it.
