    Not every big company does this.

    I work for a fortune 500. We had a “the customers are not going to be pleased” change get pushed to us, and a lot of internal backlash/pushback prevented it from happening.

    A competitor then did the thing we stopped, and got reamed by the public hard enough to set the standard of “your a dumbass if you even think about this”.

      That’s what I’m talking about though. The stupid changes usually get caught, but you still have someone there who thought it was a good idea.

        And more importantly, while the stupid change itself might have been caught it usually doesn’t translate into a lesson not to listen to the person with the stupid idea next time.
