It reminds me of the adage "Workplace culture is what you do not what you say you do." I have met too many engineering managers over the years who thought they could cleverly have it both ways by exhorting quality is the highest priority while penalizing or criticizing engineers who objected based on quality or design metrics.
- a3n 7y agoI don't ever continue past the 3rd word of a corporate response for exactly this reason. What they say is always what they "should" say, in line with how things "should" be, rather than reality at the moment. The speaker doesn't even have to be familiar with the issue at hand beyond keywords.
