Heh, that reminds me of a few years back, when I was at Lockheed I printed several demotivatioal posters and quietly placed them up around the office.

I got reprimanded by HR after they found this poster I put up in one of the interview rooms: http://i.imgur.com/dzk0YcA.jpg

HR was interviewing someone who was seeking H1-B and noticed this poster hanging on the wall during the interview...

My boss (CTO !!) used to put up this poster with "I rarely test my code. When I do, I do it in production". Good times.

Heh - no, not fired. A gentle slap on the wrist... the head of HR was a good friend.

Today you would have been publicly shamed on social media by outrage culture and then fired.
