If the bugs don't change the bottom line, then the company is not dysfunctional. There's simply a mismatch between the expectations of an employee and the employer.

That is normal for someone working below a Senior Developer, a manager, and some unknown portfolio of VP's, Executive VP's, and C-level staff. A person that far down the food chain doesn't have a medium size picture, let alone the large one...i.e. the perception that the company is dysfunctional is not based on business metrics but "how I've always done stuff before."

Sometimes you can tell when a company is heading down the wrong road, but a person that far down the food chain has no power to change things, so the world gets a free case study.

Only rarely are leaves of a tall org-tree positioned to expertly judge the sausage industry in general, its current trends, and the market advantages of its varied competitors.

As long as you don't turn that "rarely" into a "never", I agree.
