WHY? Why would you get fired for fixing warnings? Would it make some

They would see you as wasting valuable time fixing non-problems.
I would not work in a place like that. Worse sti8ll is when you
work in a place point out logic errors that result in bad answers
that, obviously, don't get flagged by the compiler and nobody wants

That's exactly what I did. I was promptly told I was likely to get fired
for it.
