Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Not being questioned was a feature of working in those times. The culture was much more hierarchical.
Yes, my FIL was not a bitter man at all, but he related a story to me on several occasions - when he started working, he made some suggestions to the boss about how they might approach the job. The boss said "You're not paid to think, you're paid to work!".
And he always said it rather bitterly. It really made an impression on him.
