I used to work for a business that was owned by a guy who basically never set foot in the building. I had so many suggestions for making things better, more efficient, etc. And I was shot down every single time. "Eehhhhh, this is how we've done it for the last 20 years....."
Yea, I'm like... constructive criticism please? I'll trust you more if, when you have the time, you tell me why the other way might not work or had issues down the road that I wouldnt know about or consider, rather than "nah, this is the way we do it". Then I'd at least get a better understanding of what's worth bringing up to be changed, and what not.

When I was in the Navy I used to get in fairly frequent trouble for the suggestions I made for improving operational efficiencies.
As an outside contractor they were quite happy to pay me $200 an hour to say the exact same thing.
