I'm Worker A, and I speak up when I get asked to implement something terrible. Sometimes it works, but usually they don't care. At least I don't lose my job over it.

I can't imagine working in a place where you have to be in fear of speaking the truth. I have never suffered negative consequences at any company I've worked at for pointing out why a terrible idea is terrible, but I've seen plenty of people who are afraid to speak up. It puzzles me.

Where I work, doing it won't end up in being fired, but it would certainly prevent promotions and payrises.
