I wonder if a company culture that is heavy on blame when things go poorly is conversely liberal with praise/rewards when things go well? Might not be that bad of a place to work if so.


In what universe would this hypothetical company exist? There are plenty of companies organized solely around blame and finger-pointing. They are terrible companies that no software developer should tolerate.


Dreams are free. In the real world, management will typically take all the credit if things go well, for the same reasons as they'll blame-shift and arse-cover if things don't.
