In a real job you suffer the consequences of letting something stupid happen.

They hired you, didn't they?

Then they hire someone more stupid so they can appear to be smart. Which makes it a smart move, which means they're smart.

Pff, past jobs I've been at, you got written up for not doing the stupid thing(policy related, nothing that would put you in actual danger).
