Seems to me if Tesla internal quality reports are this harsh and engineers did feel comfortable writing these things down, that's a positive for company culture. You want engineers to point out problems.

- delfinom 3y ago>Andy Palmer, the former COO of Nissan and CEO of Aston Martin Lagonda People at the executive level are detached from reality and don't want to hear their expert leadership where they handwave and speak prose on stage is leading to poor products. They want you to tell them their ideas were the best ever, they deserve the $50 million compensation because without them saying "let it have 4 wheels", you in your millions of years as an engineer could never figure out how to make a car.
- bushbaba 3y agoSuch leaders are the hallmark of a dying company. Once the leadership gets detached from reality it’s hard to pivot back into building great things. But that’s capitalism for you and the cycle of business. Growth, stagnation, and then decline.
