yeah, I see your point...
I'm trying to remember how I would celebrate a success in the past.
At my current job I don't, the only celebration comes from the top and it always feels fake.
At my previous job - where we organized programming contests - we would celebrate within the team after all the submissions were judged and the ranking was ready.
But we'd never celebrate in the presence of contestants. We'd get public thanks from our boss at the award ceremony though.

@jmaris@eupolicy.social @benroyce@mastodon.social And I feel like if I couldn't come out to the contestants and say "it went great" with a straight face. But then if I imagine an MoD saying "Our soldiers finished training on these two anti-air missile launchers, which will defend our skies, and together with all the other things we bought it makes us strong", it wouldn't feel fake to me. And I wouldn't say "don't celebrate until USA delivers the remaining 12 launchers". I guess that's because I know how bad it was before
