Could you tell me if there is there any difference between take something up with someone and bring something up with someone? For example:
We are going to take the issue up with the boss.
We are going to bring the issue up with the boss.

Bringing something up is like discussing a topic. It could be about anything.
Taking something up can be a bit more contentious, suggesting here that the issue may be with the boss himself, something he did, a disagreement over a decision he made, etc.
