That is certainly not good.
It's difficult for me to judge how bad, because I don't know what level of dissent is "normal" for an extreme engineering challenge like this, nor the competency/experience of the employees expressing that dissent.
This is by no means a defense of this company's actions. Clearly, it seems they have erred in a deadly way and have blood on their hands.
- salawat 3y agoAn Engineer... not those who want to larp, but one that answers the Calling to the bottom of their soul; does not work for you. They work for the Public, and humanity as a whole to try to create the machines/processes/structures/tools that allow us to thrive in spite of a universe that by all means is out to kill us. Dissent is obligatory in doing your job. If you do not protest, if you do not fight for every inch of assurance you calculate as being necessary, literally no one else in the room will. This whole affair sickens me. It reeks of corner cutting, complacency, and unjustifiable risk taking.
