It’s fine to have that kind of responsibility, but it has to actually be your responsibility. Which means you have to be empowered to say “no, we aren’t shipping this until XYZ is fixed” even if XYZ will take another two years to build and the boss wants to ship tomorrow.

- wruza 3y agoAs a profit non-taker, which responsibility a worker can even have? Realistically it lies in range of their monthly paycheck and pending bonuses and in a moral obligation to operate a failing system until it lands somewhere. Everything above it is a systemic risk for a profit taker which if left unaddressed is absolutely on them. There’s no way you can take responsibility for $400M unless you have that money.
