Don't you dare to fire me from your hypothetical company! In a more serious note, where did you find that drinking Tejeva is making them more productive? It sounds like an mild addiction wish I suspect is doing the opposite. The infinity was to make a point about resources, you put much focus into it and is just a silly hypothetical scenario to state a point. In organizations there is always problems with people and always problems with the system, pointing out the former doesn't mean one doesn't acknowledge the later; and like I said their solution for the future of just buying more stock is correct, so I agreed the system is flawed, their previous behavior is _also_ on the wrong and the one that raises red flags in a personal level.

> where did you find that drinking Tejeva is making them more productive? In the blog post, the person said they wanted to drink 3-4 bottles a day. So, I assume drinking it makes them happy and, thus, more productive. > It sounds like an mild addiction wish I suspect is doing the opposite. I don't understand the need to drink Tejeva. But different people have different needs/wants. In a similar situation, I'm not a parent or a handicapped or a minority. So, I don't truly understand their needs/situations. But I don't assume that "oh honey your need isn't significant; you can absolutely live without X", especially when it costs so little. > The infinity was to make a point about resources, you put much focus into it and is just a silly hypothetical scenario to state a point. But we are judging a person's action, and we should avoid judging them based on something they haven't done. Of course, if they start hogging 100 bottles a day where it's not physically possible for a single person to drink it all, then, yeah, I agree that it seems too many. > their previous behavior is _also_ on the wrong and the one that raises red flags in a personal level. This is where I disagree. The person's not in the wrong. They are upfront about taking 6 bottles. They are clear that they enjoy drinking that many bottles. Needing to drink 6 bottles is like any other need (e.g. need to leave early, need to exercise, need to rest, need to go on a walk, need to poop longer than normal, need to eat more than a normal person). Some people need something more than the others. What raises a red flag is a person who points finger at another person instead of a system that creates scarcity. This person would be destructive in a post mortem, for example.
