I work in a hazardous industry. To meet internal and regulatory standards, we really need a certain level of engineering capability. But the company has been hellbent for several years on diminishing the number of engineers and the influence that engineers have, and we are just on a slow march towards the next major accident. But until somebody dies, nothing will really change. The salami-slicing reduction in engineering decision-making authority also means that there is no path to escalate issues. There's a discontentment felt by every engineer in the organisation resulting in cynicism and disengagement, and yet to hear the upper management speak, we are all bursting with excitement at what exciting times we are living in, and relishing the diversity and inclusion.
