Discussion between superiors and older team members, whatever you see happening to them will be you in 2-6 months when honeymoon phase is over.

Example: (B= Boss OE= Old Employee)

B: Dude why the f*** did you miss the standup? 

OE: I had to  talk to Brian who was having issues with some code that was urgent to fix for prod. 

B: You know you can't miss the standup its our reputation on the line , don't f*** this up again!

OE: Ok 
-------
4 weeks later

B: WTFFFFF why didn't you help Karen fix the code , they have prod issues!!!!!!!!!!

OE: I was at the standup at the time.

B: Who the F**** CARES ABOUT STANDUP! Don't F*** this up, oh and I had to report this incident to HR for careless decisions on your part, so its on file.
