Sorta the guy that "pulled the trigger". Sometime one finds themselves in a position to be the person that has to stand up. When you don't, it's on you as much as the bosses that put you in that position. I was an aerospace engineer for 37 years. There were days I had to say "no". I was often "over ruled" and it was equally as likely that my bosses "got away with it" as not. And when they didn't no one ever said "wow, you were right". But in the long term, I developed the reputation as a person that would stand their ground. It didn't always make me "popular", but it is funny, when someone knows they need the no "bullshit" answer, guess who they come to?
