Re: WMATA: Not So Clandestine Run Of 6 Car Consist Of 7k Cars In Automatic Mode

This seems to be a society-wide problem. I dunno when it started (forever? 1920s?), but it was deliberately accelerated in the '60s and is so strong now it's institutionalized.

IMHO, it has to do with how your Ultimate Boss thinks. In transit, this would be the voting public (and by association, the politicians who are voted in by that public), and the voting public ultimately does not give a shit about how the workplace is run, only about results. When the results suck, the shit will flow downwards, because of CYA and the chain (politicians->executives->managers) needing to look like they are doing something about it.

I was fortunate enough to work for years for good bosses who were more interested in making sure the problem gets solved than pointing fingers. As long as you put in honest effort, it counted. Unfortunately, my luck has run out.
