Jeez, one would think some people would lose their jobs over this.
Wishful thinking, I know.
“...one would think some people would lose their jobs over this”
Well there’s the storied New Coke example, that the person who created the New Coke and the advertising and the rollout etc... was called to the boss’s office after the New Coke rollout failed miserably.
Expecting to be fired the executive of the New Coke program approach the CEO and said “well I guess you’re going to fire me now” and the CEO replied “what makes you think that? I wouldn’t fire you, you’re the most experienced person I have.”
Sometimes abysmal failure adds quire a lot to the experience level, much more than bringing in somebody new who hasn’t been properly punched in the guts.
True story.
