Every time people around me use statements or questions from the list below, I feel an aneurysm coming on. They make my head hurt just reading them.
If I challenge my boss, she will thank me. If I speak up for what is right, my boss will not persecute me. If I fight for my integrity despite pressure from above, I will always keep my job.
None of these results are guaranteed if I do the right thing. The only time I have a guarantee is if I stay silent. My silence guarantees things will stay the way they are. Speaking up is the only way change may happen.

My headache began as soon as she started to speak. She and her counterpart were having issues - AGAIN! The crazy thing was both these people were talented and were great individual contributors.
