Am i the only one always at odds with upper management?

[pstall]

Maybe there's a reason 2 of my top 5 fav movies are Cool Hand Luke and One flew over the cuckoo's nest. 

I seem to always be that guy that either says what everyone is thinking or challenging reports or data or whatever. 

Never fails I'm like Tom Hanks in Big and go i dont get it and then upper mgmt wants to hurry up and get out and i just can't let some things go. I'm not trying to make a name for myself but just looking after the little guy and try to get people to be factually correct. 

Am i the only one?

No,  some managers think they are always right.  I run away from those because most times they are wrong.  Manager who listens is a good manager.

Im just not afraid to throw a grenade, when it's the right time of course. 

People i have worked with will grumble and complain and i go dude you gotta speak up. People won't change a process etc if you don't tell them what's up.

I need to finally do my own thing.

This.

If you always fight, you rarely or never win.  If on the other hand, you don't often fight, then when you do, the boss tends to notice more.

As long as you're not sleeping with anyone, it's ok to be at odds. It makes things awkward afterwards if you are.

No, you aren't the only one.

I do but man the level of unchecked ineptitude is mind blowing.
