Of course. Of late, I have been saying no too, though it isn't because I am forced to do things, but that I have been taking on too much overall, as there is always more I feel I could be doing. My supervisor has been trying to get me to do a little less in some areas. :D
That makes sense. I typically am saying no because I can see requirements or outcomes that the person didn't realize. I imagine it is probably frustrating for people, but if they could see the bigger picture they would understand.
There are times it is necessary - but for those that are the highest performers, there tends to be a lot of leeway. I just do what I am told ;)
I do what I am told within reason. There are times when I have to firmly say no.

Most of the time they never come back... 😃 Maybe it is my delivery.
It has taken three years for some people to come back and say they were wrong... it is a mountain for some people!
