I've not seen that at my fortune 100. I found other's willing to agree and we walked it up to the most senior evp in the corporation. Got face time andbwe weren't punished. Just, nothing changed. Some of the directors that helped walk it up the chain eventually became more powerful and the suggested actions took place about 15 years later.
Sure, I've certainly seen exceptions, and valued them a lot.
But often, at least in my experience, exceptions are limited in scope to whatever part of the org chart the person who is the exception is in charge of, and then that still governs everything outside of that box...
