I love blameless postmortems. And, it isn't really whether the team or the team lead decides to do a blameless postmortem. It's whether the company values looking at things this way. And, those values change over time, and shift when the times are good or bad (financially).

I would really love to read about a blameless postmortem that happened in a dying company where everyone was backstabbing each other. Now, that would be a good story!

In fairness, this story does convey that. The "second story" part is great.

I do wish there was a little more about how management came around to seeing it, how they rectified bonuses and pay and PIPs. There is an untold journey here.
