Of all the updates to the Joel test I've read, this is by far the most... Nebulous. Maybe even asinine because even if you were to ask this in an interview, the interviewer could reply to half it these with a bland "yes" and there's really no way to confirm or deny during the interview since it's all based on opinion. In the best scenario, the affirmative answers were straight up lies and then you know immediately that the organization is not for you (but only until after you join). In the worst scenario, the "yes" was actually honest and it turns out that you disagree with the company on what makes for good "celebration of initiative" or "trustworthy management" and suddenly you're the bad guy for disagreeing.
