“People don’t want to be associated with something low status and are likely to subject anything they perceive as low status to a lot of scrutiny.”
Ouch! Alas, it is true in general. However, I think it’s a dangerous heuristic when not backed by the kinds of substantive comments made in 1-6.
I do think toning down 5 might foster a better culture. Perhaps there is more information here I don’t know. But this kinda sounds like someone tried something it didn’t work out, and they don’t get a second chance. That’s not a great rubric to establish if you want people to take risks.
