The kind of culture you're in favor for, blaming engineer for mistakes and punishing them, is exactly what makes the kinda of Equifax mistake possible. Suddenly, people stop to improve things and just do the minimum possible so they can keep their job, since anything else can cause a mistake that will cost your next performance cycle (or even worse, your job).
- stjohnswarts 6y agoI know I have certainly left cans of worms close various companies because I knew there was only risk and no reward even though I would have loved to tackle the problem. Fix a major problem working late and weekends and get an attaboy at the weekly conference. Do a good job but introduce a bug that is relatively minor but causes a slight delay in deployment and get on the manager's shit list for the rest of your time there.
- hashkb 6y agoI'm talking about blaming and punishing management, not engineers. I'm sorry that wasn't clear.
