1. Bemiller, the publicist, accidentally killed one work laptop because he didn’t know how to ask for help. Every morning when he turned it on, he would be greeted by a pop-up from the storage service Dropbox, which he always accepted without reading. After a few months, the computer began to run painfully slowly. It often died without warning. Bemiller could not get any work done, and his manager ordered him a new laptop. By the time the replacement came in the mail, IT had figured out the issue – and it was completely avoidable.
