summary
Management suppresses safety issues and shove that under the rug, even penalizing engineers—docked your pay from bonuses—for persistent reporting. Reported problems do not trigger fixes; instead priorities and cost control override safety assessments. Two crashes occur early on, yet the organization continues to accept unsafe engineering practices rather than invest in better testing, oversight, or thorough root-cause remediation, leaving risk unaddressed.
