Thanks so much for this AMA. Organizationally speaking, how high up in the org did your findings go (or not go) before they were quashed or ignored. In other words, was there support for your work by your direct manager or their manager but then above that you ran into issues? Or was your direct manager even unsupportive?

Fascinating; thanks. I'm on the tail end of my career but was an ambitious engineer in the past too. I too had done some extracurricular work that landed me in trouble - probation, not firing.

I think now I am much more cognizant of how I push within an organization and more patient, but damn I still stir up trouble. Don't go and change. The highest reed catches the most wind, they say, but some companies really want high reeds. And those also tend to be the companies where VPs routinely talk to low-level employees, which is healthy.
