I am a senior engineer Link to heading

I’ve never heard of this before. This is completely new to me. I don’t understand. No clue, really! I don’t know.

Yet.

Admitting you don’t know is OK. More than OK, it’s healthy.

Admit you don’t know, and:

  • Others don’t feel ashamed of not knowing either;
  • Those who do know, especially juniors, get an opportunity to shine;
  • Your manager more accurately sees risks;

Not knowing is temporary, and will not be punished. Learning shows growth, and should be rewarded.
