We bring an idea to work.
It's sound. We've checked it twice.
It would save the team an hour a week.
The answer is no.
Or someone else's idea goes ahead instead.
And it stings like they said no to us.
But our idea had to land somewhere.
On a spreadsheet someone colour-coded by hand.
On a process they fought for two years ago.
Their no might not be about our idea at all.
It might be about the work they've already put in.
Some things aren't worth us fighting for.
Someone else already did.
