I think I have only ever had good stuff happen from arguing with management
It helps to be right, of course, but it gets you credibility with the other workers, and makes you known as someone who can say what they mean regardless of power dynamic

100% agreed. In my experience the two possible outcomes are:
Everyone respects you more and you get to say your piece; whether or not anything you were saying gets taken on or acted on, is uncertain, but sometimes yes
The person you’re talking to gets all huffy about one of the underlings talking to them like that, but nothing really happens
… and #1 is honestly more common than the other one in my experience. IDK, I also got fired from some jobs when I was young because of it, so maybe don’t take my advice too wholeheartedly, but I found the result to be way better and the risks to be overblown compared to what they seem like they would be.
