sensible or timid?

thought of this after been with my colleagues for > 1 year..

Say when something doesnt goes in the way you expect, and you realised you had been "short-changed" by the management,

Eg: Pay scheme wasnt fair, thus you got slightly lesser money for the first month.

Would you :

1) Keep quiet, take note of the scheme and dont repeat the mistake next month?

2) Or complain and argue with the top/pay department, more for the principle rather than the money?


Thus,

Are those people who choose (1) are sensible people who knows that it's useless to fight with the top for something that's been in place for so long, and rather not to be "marked" by the top after arguing;

or simply timid people who would always be taken advantage of?

And, are those people who choose (2) are people with principles in life and would always speak up for themselves for what they deserve;

or simply people who have not seen the corporate world and think that the world is really so democratic?

(this is a different story from someone who fights as a customer/cilent.)


Well, after thinking, i still cant find an answer to this question in my mind...


And anyway, if you are curious, i'm the person who choose (1). so am i sensible or timid?
