Jenga effectively. 3 others and Bob spent time destabilizing but Bob over here pulled the block before it collapsed. It's his fault.

This and yes also excessive refactor (I'm guilty).

One case I recall was an SRE that was quite intelligent asking smart questions and management took it as insubordination. The thing is he was fighting against shipping crap that later would ruin oncall.

Another time a coworker solved a big problem, saving time. But because management was not too involved, she got a pip.

One would assume making the system more reliable would get rewarded, in some contexts this is true. Others, it has to be blessed otherwise it can cut against.

Windows NT in 1994 holds a special place in my heart. Such pure computing. Makes me happy to see this project and hope it does great.

I actually have seen good coworkers get chopped down because they cared more about the system than others egos. It saddens me when management supports egos more than the product. It shows up years later to the customers.

I loathe mobile first design, seems to me it's "mobile matters, on other devices just deal with it.".

The Wells Fargo website screams this for me - it used to be dense and packed with info, now it's got large elements and wasted space.

The book "Never split the difference" is a great read on hostage negotiations.
