There comes a time when one must stand

and do the right thing, or sit by and watch.

 

Thanks to Captain Cozier 👏🏻 

For choosing to Stand Up.

 

 

Other than that I’m sitting on my paws.

I can't remember the name of the movie but I believe it starred Gene Hackman. He saved members of his crew when told not to, he was fired as well and his ship gave him a great send off as well. Anyone remember this movie?

The most difficult times in my career were when I clashed with management over "policy."  They are also my proudest moments as a human being.

I, too, have BTDT.  I would not change a thing, either.   Sometimes you have to stand up for what is right.

Thank goodness he wasn't willing to let people get sick and/or die in order to keep his job.  How sad is it that such behavior is something we applaud rather than expect.

@Tadaki, but on the positive side, thankfully there is a "we" here. Too many are so wedded to the chains of command that they forget about personal responsiblity. Think Nuremberg.
