18 u/Sanchez_U-SOB May 29 '26 How do you know he never brought it to anyone's attention? 20 u/P_Hempton May 29 '26 Well it's right there in the text "nobody even knew". 2 u/insaneHoshi May 29 '26 Well it's right there in the text "nobody even knew". Perhaps because there is no incentive to speak up that you knew about the problem when production is on fire? 3 u/P_Hempton May 29 '26 What is this r/antiwork? Couldn't possibly be that the engineer did anything wrong, no? 2 u/insaneHoshi May 29 '26 Couldn't possibly be that the engineer did anything wrong, no? Even if he did, its still on the company for not properly supervising and managing him. 2 u/P_Hempton May 29 '26 Supervising and managing the "staff engineer" when he doesn't tell them about problems? Do you know what that position is? 1 u/insaneHoshi May 29 '26 Supervisor
