I was watching this TEDx video: Margaret Heffernan “Dare to Disagree” and it really made me think. https://www.ted.com/talks/margaret_heffernan_dare_to_disagree One of the reasons I suspect I was laid off from About.com was because I had the temerity to disagree with staff. I would point out bugs and flaws in their code or design. I had discussions with both editors and senior executives about how the site could be improved and what I thought was going wrong and right.
