>they can't be bothered to fix the broken shit

Surely it's more likely that it's just cheaper to pay for the errors than to pay to fix the errors.

Why fix 10k worth of errors if it'll cost me 100k to fix it?

The orgs are not ruthless like that, anything less than a certain % of the org revenue is not worth bothering unless it creates _more_ work to the person responsible for it than fixing it does.

Add some % if person who gets more work from the problem is not the same as the person who needs to fix it. People will happily leave things in a broken state if no one calls them out on it.
