Many cases, the stakeholders don't have an appreciation for what you're suggesting or even the consideration to balance your workload:
"Oh, thanks for bringing the problem to my attention, let me just add that to your massive pile of work and make it a P1 like everything else - and this problem space is also now your responsibility forever because you're (in my mind) the expert on it"
- unfortunately, there are many managers that operate this way. Just clueless.
That's why i always advocate a cautious, cynical, self preserving approach but again depends on the env and your relationships.
