A good article; it resonated with my current situation.
I'd like to share an insight from a workplace where I've been for 10 years and have had 6 different managers and various teams.
When you start working with a new manager or team, hold back on excessive commitment and trust until the first serious crisis arises within the team or department. This usually happens within a few months. It's in serious situations that people's true capabilities are revealed when they're needed most.
I am speculating that only a fraction of users explicitly shut down a program that appears beasides the clock. Is it truly worth irritating that segment of users?

i didnt find how to turn off notifications about trending topics on android app without going to android settings- so i uninstalled the app.It was enough for me.
read some psychological articles about interpersonal interactions. Group processes. Do not break existing unwritten rules. There is always a some sort of climate in a team/workplace. Observe how other people interact formally and informally. Be more like them and after you are accepted as group member - you then can pursue your own goals. Get to know other people before you roll out your ambitions.
understanding people group dinamics from a social psychology perspective has been eye-opener for me. Rekommended reading - social identity theory and then a book: Social Groups in action and interaction. 2nd ed. Charles Strangor.
