That’s exactly why I (a man) do it. Because I’m trying to be polite about you being wrong and before I put your nose in it, I’m giving you a chance to acknowledge your mistake.
It’s diplomacy, but yeah, apparently some men are still extra salty when the messenger is a woman. Go figure.
Same. I have been working where I work much longer than my boss. I know the relevant requirements better most of the time. I don’t throw that in their face. Plus, even if I’m right, they can (in the moment) pull rank and enforce whatever they want. I remain humble in my assertions and in return they almost never pull rank. It’s a good balance. My boss actually depends on me to know the requirements and be able to tell everyone what they are. Then, they just enforce them. Win-win for me.
