Many times good engineering is over-ridden by management. The decision makers should take the hit.

Engineers who are unwilling or unable to say "No" and have it stick when it comes to safety are not engineers!
It's one reason why I abhor programmers who call themselves "Software Engineers". If you don't get to make the go/no-go FINAL call, you are not an engineer.

Nonsense. Not every thing is a individual quality slippage. Most of the times its also quantity slippage. Under hiring, under investing in quality, quality checks and other processes on a long term causes these problems.
Notice engineering has no say in budgets, hiring numbers, time to delivery etc.
Managements making all the wrong decisions over years, and then blaming a dozen engineers for not working themselves to death to cover it is not something that will sell in serious discussions.
