Well I found out the hard way that company culture or values can mean nothing if you don't CYA. Granted, the shop was small enough that our team was in charge of both the security policies and ops, but still, on one unfortunate occasion I've stepped outside my area of responsibility to "do what's right" and got punished. The next time I've been in a similar situation - well, I've walked away from the fire and grabbed the popcorn.

By the way, I'm still burnt out. This work is stressful. Don't let it take away what's already scarce for you.
