Obviously the real world often gets in the way, but a competent manager would look at that org structure and say "shouldn't we move some of those smart ppl on to the build team to catch issues before they're in prod? Seems awfully risky waiting until it's live to catch these bugs which could cause us massive financial harm"
Bathrooms have a high risk of life threatening accidents and any locks should be bypassable indicators - this is why most have a coin unlock on the outside.
