The trade is already a constant struggle with management over cutting corners and short term thinking. I’m not about to be blamed for that situation.

Do you think the situation for real engineers is different?

Look, I wasn't expecting anyone to thank me for my service when I went back to school for COBOL and saved all of your paychecks circa '97 - '99, but I'm not going to sit here and be compared to those bucket-toting girder jockeys.

Yes. Because whilst the same pressures exist, there's a short number of engineers licensed to actually sign off on a project, and they're not going to jeopardise that license for you.

Sounds like a case of real consequences for engineers working out well.

Only if you ignore downsides like drastically increased costs for most civil engineering projects.
