And I am also pretty sure it, at least for me, will not matter at all, and it will be really bad for everyone else involved.

This is the reality in United States, but not in most of the world.

> But at some point, one needs to launch the thing, despite the complains.

Or: at some point, one decides to launch the thing.

You are reducing the complaints of an engineer as something inevitable and unimportant, as if it happened in every lunch, and in every lunch someone decided to went ahead, because it was what was needed.

Employees should bother to improve their own lives, not to decrease productivity or affect company survival.

* Emphasis mine.

I was going to say that it's something for them to decide, but then the conversation was going to be circular.

Nobody should have the right to not have a right.

My email is not your confidential data. My phone number is not your confidential data.

If your company can only exist by blocking other companies from competition with your customer, then your company should not exist in first place.
