Did you ever work on a project where you said to your boss, "We need to do X or this won't work," and your boss said, "X is too [expensive | time consuming | difficult], we won't do that."

Or a project where your boss hired a bunch of incompetents at the last minute because the project was running late, and the new hires made endless mistakes that you then had to fix?

Do you want to seppuku because your nuclear plant blew up because your boss was an idiot and wouldn't listen to the engineers?

And don't suggest that the engineers become whistleblowers. We all know how that turns out.
