				 ars138161yMy first day in one job, the CEO gave me access to the prod db after I asked for a sandbox to do my db tests. Right before I clicked the confirm button to drop a table, I asked him “just checking but this is a development database right? Because I’m about to drop this table.” And he’s like “yeah please don’t do that”. ars138161yMy first day in one job, the CEO gave me access to the prod db after I asked for a sandbox to do my db tests.
