From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cannot say I've seen a dev do that in the UK. Anyone would get fired for throwing a chair. Standing on the table yelling would probably get then a bollocking and maybe a warning.
Oh, 100% agree he should have been fired or at least put on a PIP, but my HR dept is toothless.
It depends on how valuable your organization thinks you are; I used to work for a faang company and I got to experience this 2x and the person doing it faced no repercussions since they were well known rockstar software engineers.
Rock star devs are just devs that know the code so can do it faster, probably because they wrote it. Some just hack shit in.
No one is good enough to justify those behaviours.
