We all have to deal with stupidity.

Stupid people.

Stupid specifications.

Stupid bosses, managers, co-workers.

Stupid company policies.

How do you stay sane at work? How do you deal with all of the above?

When a co-workers requests a moronic change to one of your drawings, how do you deal with it? When you disagree with someone, how do you respectfully disagree?

I can share with you a bit from a business owner's point of view. Respectfully disagreeing with colleagues is critical to the overall functioning of a company. Getting along with the other workers is very high on our list of things we require of an employee. No one knows everything. We can, and do, forgive mistakes. Employees, however, who cause problems and make other people feel uncomfortable--no matter how smart they are--are usually looking for another job very quickly.
