This is a failure of leadership to ensure that a quality product is being delivered by the system they're responsible for.
I'd usually be pretty forgiving especially when there is a high degree of novelty.
Maybe this particular vaccine is novel and that benefit of the doubt should be extended in this case, I'm not sure though.
It's also possible this is common variation but we never hear about it.
- mulmen 6y agoScenario: An engineer who you pay $200,000.00/yr in salary pushes code to prod which brings your totally unique SaaS product down. Accounting says the incident cost $2,000,000.00. Do you: A) Fire the engineer on the spot. B) Conduct a thorough investigation of your testing and deployment practices and implement changes to avoid such a mistake in the future.
- Guthur 6y agoMissing a lot of information to actually answer that question. Was the engineer wilfully negligent of checks and balances put in place. Was he wilfully negligent because of undue pressure to deliver more in the same time and without any system changes. Did his mother recently die and he couldn't take time off to grieve properly. There are many aspects that make up the analysis of a failure in quality, and that is the job of leadership.
- mulmen 6y agoOk let me expand the choices then. C) Fire the engineer's manager. D) Resign.
- Guthur 6y agoI've a feeling that everyone has misinterpret the sentiment of my remark. What i was trying to imply is that there's something to be reviewed here and it's leaderships responsibility to do so. I'm feeling that potentially with covid and all it's a little too emotive and the whole comment was misplaced and doomed to degenerate into a slinging match. Also there is a lack of detailed knowledge that precludes me from making more detailed statements.
