You should take it upon yourself to make regular backups in case you fuck up really bad.
I had an intern that deleted everything on its fifth day, luckily l was automatically making backups two times a day, so it was fine.
Company was a shitshow, new features or changes were expected immediately, so we got used to work directly on prod. I told him to test anything on a dummy DB and show me before we submit it, but he got around it when I wasn't looking. The security tools were garbage, I wasn't allowed to change permissions.
