You know what else is bad luck? Superstitions!
This is an interesting question...
I read that in Taiwan they have a superstition where the IT team place a small bag och unopened potato chips on top of each server rack for good luck. The bag must be in date and unopened.
This means that they have a reason to check up on the physical servers semi regularly and can notice things that are out of order, it also means that the IT team gets a treat when the complete the task of replacing the bags.
Is this good or bad?
I don't actually know....
That's just a good Organizational Behaviour practice.
A bag of oily, flammable potato chips doesn’t seem like a good thing to put on top of a server rack. They should replace it with something else.
I'll go to Taiwan and tell them your opinion, where should I send the invoice for the tickets?
Just because they believe in one weird thing, you say they're superstitious? I don't know about that, maybe they're just a little stitious.
