> Last year, the one girl, who did seem to try to follow some common sense approach, got fired for effectively using common sense against big boss wishes.

What did your manager say when you said this to them?

Sigh, sadly, I didn't, because I found out largely after the fact and, more amusingly, after record profit year at the company with the project in question clearly being a major part of everyone's goals ( not mine, I was kinda roped in at the last stages ).

If my manager fire somebody for using common sense, I’m not going to tell them anything. Because I can be next.

that girl doing stuff is one thing, but if you're so scared you can't even ask your direct boss (not the big boss, obvs) a question, like, yo, I dunno.
