Nope, the boss is not always right. I always try to have a discussion with the boss where I explain my position, working hard to suppress my naturally contentious self. However, once I've made my pitch, it's still not my call... it's the boss's call. Like others have said, pick your battles. Very few are worth going to the mat over. A couple may be and then you need to make sure you've got options when you find yourself blinking and scratching on the sidewalk, wondering what happened.
