> By that logic, almost no individual failure is a firing offense. That's pretty close to how it should be. That's the core premise of the no-blame post-mortem culture that's great about some companies. As long as you go through the port-mortem process, which includes doing your best to prevent this from happening again (which may include changing organizational processes, testing strategies, etc), then everyone can move on with their lives. Firing happens when you have a history of performing below your level. Never for a single engineering failure.
