Ok, as many of you know, I work as a software developer.
Well, we also use an Agile methodology when developing our software.
Well, today, another of my opinions was shot down, because to paraphrase "It's not what the business wants".
Well, guess what: What the business wants isn't always the best solution! My solution has less redundancy, and met the requirements better than what was originally proposed! And it was cleaner! I was told, "yours is not to judge...", to which I replied, "I'm simply offering my opinion of what I think is a better solution."
But no, the PM thinks that my solution would make things "too crowded" in one column.
I should have really asked why "the business" wants it that way.
I kept my cool in the meeting, but man am I steamed about this.
It makes me want to stop speaking up.
