Most employees know when something at work isn’t right. A flawed process, an unrealistic deadline, a leader making decisions without input—these issues happen in every workplace. But speaking up about them is tricky. Raise concerns the wrong way, and you risk being seen as negative, disruptive, or even difficult. Stay silent, and the problem persists while you get stuck dealing with the fallout.

大多数员工都能察觉到工作中存在的问题，比如不合理的流程、不切实际的截止日期、或是在没有征求意见的情况下领导就做出决策——这些在每个工作场所都可能发生。但是，要就这些问题发声却不容易。如果表达方式不当，可能会被视为消极、捣乱，甚至是难以相处的人。如果选择沉默不语，问题就会一直存在，而你也不得不继续应对这些带来的后果。
