In our case no, because the "staff" account is really just an
"administrator" account -- so it's the one used to be an application (or
system) admin rather than the user's regular account. Most of the people
who have those are IT people, although a few non-IT people are starting to
get them as we roll out new applications and systems.

So when I log into an application (like the CAS management console, or the
Duo admin pages, or a Linux box where I want to use "sudo" to do root-y
things, or a Windows server where I need admin rights), I log in as
"adm_curryd" instead of "curryd". When I want to do things as a normal
person, I log in as "curryd".
