If that’s the reality, you would think that employees would be willing to break an NDA for it. “We’re all going to die, but I really need my bonus this year” seems like a parody rather than a real strongly held position.

If anything this points to a more moderate (but still bad) worry among the employees.

I suppose there may be a bit of a prisoner's dilemma to it. Single voices can be discredited. It would take a coordinated disclosure to actually make the message stick.

We have been living in a parody for some time now, so it feels normal.

Ok, but maybe an employee isn't 100% sure that this will happen. They then have to weigh letting the world know about a risk against the certainty that their career will be damaged.

“We’re all going to die, but I really need my bonus this year”

Is probably the best description of the state of engineering today
