If you understood how big companies work, you&#x27;d know it takes more than a few months to build &quot;one of the best teams&quot;.  This is one thing in Alex&#x27;s favor though, he&#x27;s new to the job.   Still, if you also understood how big companies work, you&#x27;d know that everyone hates the drama queen.<p>The right move here would have not been to threaten Wes, pay him, and just update the policy.<p>Lesson learned for Alex and his friends:  Do not threaten individual contributors or suffer massive freaking drama.  Thank you internet.
