With all due respect, this is a quite naive viewpoint. I've been fired from multiple jobs from trying exactly the items you are suggesting. Sometimes, management just wants you to shut up and do the job, and not try to change anything.

Wisdom is knowing how to find out which you're dealing with without getting fired

Yeah I'd agree especially for example a company with constant short deadlines. Complaints about the short deadlines and making a big fuss about it is not going to work as those deadlines are imposed by someone with ultimate power in the org. In their mind you're just a piece of dirt under their shoe, someone who cranks the handle and complaints are not welcome.

If you're in an org where something like this is happening it's often best to move on to another job. Trying to make any sort of change in these orgs is like pissing in the wind.

They don't care and will often fire you as a trouble maker.

Just move on.

I'm not saying it always works. I'm saying it is possible, and definitely worth considering and even trying. You said you failed multiple times, would you do it again?

The way to do this without being fired, of course, is to have a union.

Or a good way to all get fired at the same time, depending on the situation.

Well, depending on the labor laws in your country, of course.
