A lot of developers skip right over the phase where they respectfully seek clarity about a difficult situation right into "speaking up" and lambasting their manager for perceived slights.

Those are the situations where "speaking up" does not help. Trying to have an honest and earnest conversation should always be the first step.

Yes. I would like to add that even in professional environments you should have some level of trust in your gut feelings. It is great to reflect and be critical of one self, to try and see thigs from different perspective. Maybe ask a friend at work first.

Thanks for the input
