No, but the climate of "rush" and the long term sale of "less rules" allows a boss to push for the buck then blame the employee.
Even in the restaurant business I have worked at a corporate chain, and mom and pop chain. I cannot tell you the countless times where a boss pushed you to get things done, to the point you did not have the time or materials to get it done, then fucking bitch when you don't pass a health inspection. I should clarify, pass to my bosses was always nothing less than an "A". I never worked at a place that got lower than a "B". But my point is, if you want an "A" which I want too, then fucking give me the time and don't fucking make me multitask.
That is not my experience with one event, but YEARS. I am 51 and I can tell you, while not every business is evil, the mindset of do the most with the least isn't always good.
I would bet my life that the captain was pushed to go out despite the weather conditions, not because he wanted to, but because he had to eat. Just like the West Virginia coal mine asshole who ran for congress was never charged for the explosion. Just like the Wells Fargo CEO spent no time for the financial damage he caused.
It is FUCKING BULLSHIT to set up optimum protocol then expect the same results when conditions are not optimum. We never would have gotten to the moon if we said "always rush and ignore redundancy".
