    Need to know is a thing. If you don’t need to know in order to do your job, then you don’t need to be told the how or why. Your job is to do what you’ve been told.

    If you can’t handle that, then fucking quit. Or consult a web search, I guess. Why waste time and effort explaining if it’s not necessary or important? Sometimes it really is just as simple as “some moron says to.”

      If I can think of a reason to not do it, then I should ask why. If the reason isn’t explained to me it’s a much more logical conclusion to believe that the reason is a bad one. Or that the person telling me what to do is a moron. If I disagree with the reason but it’s not a harmful one then we can start determining if whether it’s meaningful enough for me to push back.

      If “some moron says” means the thing we’re doing is going to go poorly, that should be brought to attention.
