That is funny.
After almost 30 years at Intel, we were expected to let management know as soon as possible of possible problems.
You never got punished or demoted because you raised a flag.
Myself and about 10 others knew about the Pentium “Floating Point Flaw” but we were ordered to cover it up by the project head who had sizable stock options based on how many we sold.
When word got out he ordered it covered it up, he was quietly fired.
In my job at Boeing Safety was job #1.
Reputation and product trust #2
Making money was somewhere else down the line.
That happens naturally if you have a safe, reliable product
that people want.
That may have changed since I left.
