Startups don't have as rigidly defined team boundaries. It wouldn't be uncommon for people to take up tasks and responsibilities that would fall under some other team with a different manager. In larger corporations, teams are ins

I interpreted the comment as a general statement about risk, not about alcohol specifically. Always trying to reduce your risk from bad things to zero is not a great way to live. Lots of things will increase your risk of cancer, like preser

Mocking it instead of being apathetic may spur someone to try and address its problems. It's worse when management tells people not to complain because it's bad for morale. I've used and hated other internal tools - stuff lik

"Always turn the lights off" makes some sense to a shop. Older cars don't have automatic headlights. The mechanics might not want to figure out which is which. If they guess wrong, the car may drain its battery and cause even
