Chaos happens a lot in production and in the associated roles such as Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). Day to day you can be dealing a scale of chaos from noise, interruptions, unknowns, mysteries all the way up to incidents, emergencies and disasters. If you are working in that space, you will have to deal with tradeoffs of risk, time, uncertainty and more. The "unknown unknowns" as Donald Rumsfeld put it or the 1-in-a-million events can happen regularly, if are operating a lot of code, data or systems.
If this is going to happen all the time, you need to have support around you, in particular a team, leadership and organization you can trust to support you whatever happens. You have to be able to relax even in the stressful environment, not worrying about your personal safety or career. This leads to the SRE best practice of blameless when things are failing; it's the fault of the system, not the person. There is no way that you are going to get people working their best, if they are going to get blamed for making mistakes. That way leads to hiding things, avoiding responsibility and a negative feedback loop where everyone avoids making things better.
If you have a culture of blame and fear, you are going to get the worst from your people. Which leads me to my experience working at Twitter when Phony Stark aka Space Karen aka Elmo Maga bought it. He did not trust his employees, did not support them, did not communicate with them, and indeed blamed them. He wanted and fostered a culture of fear and uncertainty.
It was so chaotic at the end I once had two managers message me the same hour that they were my new manager. I also I didn't know at the time that he was my manager for two days:
Elon Musk is a negative example of how to manage and how to be a grown human. He has many character flaws and a Character Limit.
He is not an example to copy.
It's nauseating seeing him repeating this again at the US Government: Déjà Vu: Elon Musk Takes His Twitter Takeover Tactics to Washington (Gift link)
