You're exactly right, Old. I learned the hard way that, even when management ASKS for suggestions, it's a good way to get yourself labeled as a "malcontent" or a "troublemaker" if you take the bait and open your mouth. Doesn't have to be a suggestion about your supervisor; it can be one about a procedure that could be done more efficiently and save the company a ton of money, or it can be something to do with safety that might keep the company from being sued.

In fact, it might be a good idea to start leaving for work 5 minutes earlier, and hanging around 5 minutes longer at the end of the day...so they can't accuse you of slacking off.
