don't ask the difficult questions.
put them on the risk log as risks and so when it goes live and falls flat on it's arse you arse is covered...
but yes as a permie you need to stop thinking about doing things and start thinking about how to ensure you do not get the blame when things go wrong!

Hmmm, I wonder how I should answer;
- I'm a bit thick so I only speak as quickly as my brain works
- I'm a tester; I've had years of training in asking questions people don't like to answer
Or maybe I'll just shut up and let them screw things up.

Just done a BPI for UK team, they had a number of issues that are basically process, some sites had solved the issue other hadn't. Yet at the start the attitude was we are perfect. at the End we had the team agreeing to cross train and track issues. This team has been under one manager for 2 years, scarily I consider him a quite dynamic manager.
