"I would be very surprised if in a few years from today a bunch of engineers don't testify that ample of warning was given to management about this. "
Reddit doesn't make it easy to find what they replied to.
The trick is to add ?context=3 to the end of the URL: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/bdfqm4/the_real_rea... (or for the better "old" interface: https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/bdfqm4/the_real_rea...)
Try using "old.reddit.com" while it last. And stop using reddit once that gets taken down.
Reddit was once a great site. Now it's a corporatized, censored mess that sold its soul for short-term cashout in their 2020 IPO.
If I switch to "desktop site" on Chrome, any text I enter gets automatically erased after hitting a certain number of characters.
I sometimes can't believe the amount of incompetence that is allowed to thrive at successful companies.
This happens on every subreddit, every. single. time. I can't believe in 2018 we got a front-end that does this, just shoddy, shoddy engineering.
If you're not logged in, you can just add "old." at the start of the url.
Just click parent
I love this mentality that "managers" are the only people responsible, and that the people actually putting the thing together are not. It's the same with the bank scandals, or the VW scandal, or the Facebook scams; it's all the executive team! We were just peons following orders! We aren't responsible!
If you see a major safety issue or other concern, and report it to your superior, who does nothing, you're pretty weak if you shrug your shoulders and say, "I did my job!"
Well, the managers are the dudes who are getting paid for being responsible. The 'peons' are correct.
The pressure to keep putting food on the table is strong, especially when you have kids.
Many people see nonsense they have no power to personally fix, and in a big bureaucratic organization even making a ruckus will usually get you nothing but shown the door.
So for many, the choice is 1: say nothing, keep your paychecks, and the problem still exists, or 2: say something, possibly lose your job, and the problem still doesn't get fixed because you have no authority.
The only resort is whistleblowing, which may or may not work and is losing its protections all the time.
Boy, good thing that's what your job description says, it completely absolves you of any accountability in the real world!
"Not my job" is such a great attitude, and is precisely the reason why these huge scandals are able to persist. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
