I bet the executives who made the decision gave themselves a bonus and are still working there despite the monumental blunder.

    There can be value in having learned things the hard way. The decisions I made that resulted in melted piles of scrap really seared themselves into my memory, and help me make better decisions around those systems going forward.

    Unfortunately, our corporate systems aren't great at distinguishing people who gained valuable lessons from people who don't recognize they screwed up.
