What pisses me off is that this "rogue engineer" excuse must sometimes succeed, otherwise they wouldn't do it. And being an engineer myself I can tell you that few engineers get the idea to do something like that by themselves without at least management approval. More often than not it's done under direct management command.
- organsnyder 8y agoEven if management isn't directly demanding it, they've promoted an environment that incentivizes this sort of behavior. This could be as blatant and nefarious as setting impossible goals (and looking the other way when they're somehow achieved), or the more subtle and innocent situation where the boss is known as someone who reacts poorly to bad news.
