If you find out after being hired that the perceived reason for your hiring was to make the boys grow up, start looking for a new job. That culture is broken, and you will not fix it. Even on the off chance that you spend hours, days, weeks, or months trying to get the others to behave and you somehow magically do, you’ve wasted your time on a task that gives you no extra money, takes up your emotional energy, and saps your desire to be in tech. You’re doing extra work for no extra pay.
