How should we view the approach of \"first do the work and then discuss issues\"?

I wonder if fellow seafarers have encountered similar problems in their daily work: 1. As a leader, have you ever said that when there are issues while assigning tasks, one should first get the work done and address the problems afterward? 2. As a front-line worker, have you encountered situations where your supervisors (including section chiefs) require you to follow orders first and discuss issues after the work is done? What’s your opinion on the above situation? Requirements: It shouldn’t be arbitrary behavior; it must be due to issues with the work arrangement. Let me first state my attitude: 1. Why should we work first and discuss the problems later, rather than discussing the problems first? ——I’ll first state my question: 2. If the work is urgent, then of course one should work on it first.
One must absolutely obey the leader’s assignments and uphold their authority; only by completing tasks excellently does one qualify to raise issues.
Negotiations require bargaining chips; without them, no negotiation will be successful regardless of the timing.
For work that isn’t one’s own. . . Give a notice first, then do the work. . . More theory
Obedience is necessary, and it’s essential to do one’s job well. But what can be said about the leader’s style of management – the unreasonable way in which staff are assigned tasks and work schedules are arranged (which happens repeatedly)? Must workers simply accept—obey—work—and complete their tasks?
A response should be given once it’s done, rather than after the work is finished. For example, what kind of assistance do you need to complete the work better and more quickly, or what other tasks can you undertake to help finish the overall work more effectively, and so on. Instead of waiting until the work arrangement is finalized before bringing it up
Obeying orders and doing one’s job is the most basic professional quality; as for what the problem is and whether it can be resolved after discussion, that depends on the circumstances. It won’t solve the problem; you can keep your opinions and continue working, or you can report it to your superiors. If you really can’t stand it, just quit!
