"Well, I'd approach my supervisor, and express my concerns, sharing everything I know about how the said policy and its negative impact. I'd then ask several questions surrounding why this policy was in place and ask if this has been addressed or tackled before. This way I could perhaps trouble shoot the situation further. I'd ask them if anything like my suggestions have been attempted before. I'd again share why I felt it was prudent to bring it up, and would ask if they felt it was a priority to address this now, or at another time in the near future. I want to support my team in every way I can, and that includes trusting in the priorities set by our leaders. But I'm responsible for my actions and inactions. So if there is a concern, it is incumbent on me to bring it to our leaders' attention, and let them decide."
