Readit NewsBoeing doesn't have a culture problem, they have an idiot problem. The idea that you can hire competent engineers offering salaries like that is absurd.
They need to adopt a pay for performance mentality and bring in managers who are not afraid to fire underperformers.
The five Key Elements of Safety Culture are:
1) Informed Culture- the organization collects and analyses relevant data, and actively disseminates safety information.
2) Reporting Culture- cultivating an atmosphere where people have confidence to report safety concerns without fear of blame. Employees must know that confidentiality will be maintained and that the information they submit will be acted upon, otherwise they will decide that there is no benefit in their reporting.
3) Learning Culture- an organization is able to learn from its mistakes and make changes. It will also ensure that people understand the SMS processes at a personal level.
4) Just Culture- errors and unsafe acts will not be punished if the error was unintentional. However, those who act recklessly or take deliberate and unjustifiable risks will still be subject to disciplinary action.
5) Flexible Culture- the organization and the people in it are capable of adapting effectively to changing demands.

No sane organization would ever implement this. If someone repeatedly makes mistakes, they're going to get fired even if the mistakes are unintentional. Anything else is going to cause more safety issues in the long-term as inadequate employees are allowed to proliferate.

Really? Is this representative of anyone's normal workflow?
This is like building a calculator that can't get 1+1 correct, and then complaining nobody would ever need a calculator to calculate 1+1 so therefore it's an unfair question.
This sentence alone, and within the paragraph that hosts it, is pretty meaningless. Their (even benign) racial restrictions are the result of not just timidity but also their internal anti-evil signals. Not addressing that in the Stratechery article seems short-sighted.
In fact, this whole article builds and then just ends, without saying anything particularly poignant. It's like a movie review that mostly recounts the plot of the movie and ends with one or two sentences about production or script.
Google doesn't want to offend or be racist, which is their "don't be evil" directive. The boundaries of those controls weren't well thought through, and were mostly limiting gates, without some pass-throughs for reasonable requests.
I think Google needs to do better, but this article isn't the insightful critical salvo he meant it to be.
This is where you're wrong. A non-trivial percentage of Google's workforce does want to be racist and does want to offend.
And despite the fact that this group is a minority in the company, their lack of scruples allows them to have substantial power in setting corporate policy. Since they're willing to play dirty, they get their way more often than the employees who play by the rules.
Especially institutions like MIT... one would expect that they have a solid understanding of data analysis.
If you've been following Harvard's anti-Semitism drama over the last 4 months, it appears they're not really accountable to anybody. Neither US Congress nor their wealthiest donors have been able to force action from them.
The page title is "How Showmax, an African streaming service, dethroned Netflix", and the name of the service is also the very first word of the subtitle on the page. It is also referred to by name several other times throughout the article.
>it has not dethroned Netflix
If you go by subscriber count, which is a bit more robust than your criteria, it has.
Also, Showmax most definitely does not have more subscribers than Netflix. That is only true if you limit to a specific geographic region. But if you don't state as much in the title, you are lying by omission.
No, I haven't tried and I won't. Yes, I'm sure it has things that interest me. So what? The point is it's another one of these time sinks that profit off your need for entertainment. Ill entertaint myself, thank you.
