The dynamic seems fairly similar to army grunts.

So, in tech, do people not go to strip clubs anymore?

Like, what's the culture now? Are all interpersonal relationships now formalized into an algorithm?

Do people not get into actual fistfights at the office anymore?

I've been in the industry 20 years and not had that happen anywhere I worked in the UK.

The guy I knew who did that at his gaming company Christmas party got put on "final warning" for a year.

Do you think that's because of the corporate culture you're at or due to you personally not knowing about it?

What do you do after-hours at conferences in Vegas? Check out the Britney Spears show or Cirque du Soleil?

So, how come he didn't get fired? Was he critical to project success at all?

Worked in the industry for the last 15 years or so (in Ireland). Never heard of this. I'd think it'd be a HR matter if someone suggested it in most decent companies.
