If we plug this in without telling anyone, nobody will know we caused the outage
- Akronymus 3y agoIMO they ought to have told others. They werent at fault, the process for procuring parts failed. The fact they kept quiet about it is more damning to me, than causing the outage in the first place.

- EchoChamberMan 3y ago99.999% chance you are in management.
- kotaKat 3y agoYeah, but as the customer, I like getting the reason-for-outage reports that say "our CO tech was performing maintenance and accidentally bumped your fiber causing the outage". Sometimes we need a reminder that people are human and make fuckups.
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoExcept "shoot the messenger" is standard operating procedure (SOP) for most organizations. If you develop psychological safety, then you will get the real reason, but that is incredibly rare. "The pins were not fixed in place as they should have been, when it happened. It's not my fault." Yeah, I'm sure that'll go over well. Even Google fails to follow their studies; morale is at an all time low from what I've read. Google found psychology safety as the number one predictor of team success, like, a decade ago? Maybe Sundar missed that report. See "no good deed goes unpunished" below.
- Akronymus 3y agoI am not in management. Never was, most likely never will be. Just had the luck of working for companies that take "blameless" problem analysis seriously.
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoHow very fortunate for you, the lucky few. For the rest of us, telling management is more often like going to HR about your problems - a bad idea.
- AstroJetson 3y agoCue "Root Cause Analysis" meetings with fish-bone diagrams for days!
- deprecative 3y agoRight? Could just be a mirror for management to look at.
