One can often take these to your manager or your team retrospective, and ask questions, turning it around to be forward-looking:
"During planning, I expressed my concerns that [bad thing that happen] might happen. Is there something I do to raise this matter more effectively in the future? Do we need to improve communications more generally?"

The alpha "better luck battling it out next time" attitude of the TFA's author just speaks for his own surroundings, there are places where people really help each other, managers included.
