Is it okay to argue with your boss?

[Shavkat]

It is fine to argue with your boss if you know he is wrong and you are right on your point.

Indeed. We are not hired as dummies. Sometimes bosses are so unreasonable just to prove that they are right.

It's fine only if you have the facts corrected and have the data and research to prove him or her wrong and a good boss will accept his defeat only if you have the required artillery to argue with them.

You are right. We cannot argue with someone if we cannot prove certain issues or concerns against them.

Argue? No. Constructively disagree? Yes. When you argue with your boss, it can easily be interpreted as contempt.

In my view, it is fine to argue with our bosses as long as it was done professionally. It is also like accepting constructive criticisms. But then, some bosses would not admit that they are at fault sometimes. The course of action is to explain your side and stop arguing. Why? There is nothing going to happen if we continue defending your point to him or her.

I think this is not really reasonable. There are times when you may not be on the same page with your boss so you have to be polite about it.

If you do not want to lose your job, never argue. No one likes people who argue, especially the subordinates

I think that is not right. According to me even if you are right the staff is not entitled to argue with their bosses.

I won't confront my boss, especially since my job depends on it. I will address them respectfully and find a way to communicate effectively.
