The Incident Ledger
“My name is attached to every failure, permanently.” Blameless-postmortem research is blunt: systems fail through conditions, not villains — but this script files every incident and every bug under your identity instead of the system's.
RECOGNITION SIGNS
- 01
You reread the incident channel months later, checking if your name still stings.
- 02
A bug assigned to you lands like a grade, not a ticket.
- 03
You avoid risky, high-leverage work because another incident would 'confirm' the story.
THOUGHT PATTERNS
- 01.“Everyone remembers me as the outage guy”
- 02.“My bug count is my report card”
- 03.“I rewrote the postmortem in my head on the drive home”
- 04.“The pager going off at 3am feels like it's my fault before I even check”
- 05.“I still flinch when someone says 'can we talk about last Tuesday's deploy'”
- 06.“My manager praises the team and all I hear is my old incident report”
