That sounds patently ridiculous.
The culture comes from the top. It's super easy for them to allow people lower down to take the fall for something they pressured subordinates to do.
Shoot, just look at Wells Fargo last year.
The higher ups said that those lower needed to boost account signups, so, suddenly people found themselves signed up with accounts they had never signed up for.
But we blame those lower for following an order, even if it's an implied order, because they were the ones who did the deed. It was so hard to link Al Capone to murder they had to get him for tax evasion.
He called the shots, but others took the shots.
So, when you say that it's ridiculous to target those execs who are setting the standards which are causing these problems, these deaths, you got some screw loose up there friend, because those execs are getting paid hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars, while those doing what they are told so that they can keep their job are just trying to eat and pay rent.
Without any real knowledge of this situation, I'm pretty comfortable saying that anyone reporting this isn't perpetuating the culture. But, let's not jump to conclusions...
Because that's what you're suggesting, and it sounds patently ridiculous.
