I really don’t think a no fault workplace is what was envisioned in management literature in regards to actual management practice. If management actually considers themselves to not be at fault – then who is?

We are all a little to blame apparently, when you spread the blame around to everyone, you are a little less culpable; well, a whole lot less culpable actually. This is very much a cultural issue when management refuses to take the blame when it all goes bad, but hands out accolades to themselves when some level of success is achieved. They will eventually stumble and fumble their way through this, they have pretty much unlimited resources and the advantage of incumbency. My guess is they will be handing out special honours, selection decisions will stand, maybe some promotions and even awards later on. 

Generally, you hand out awards for not getting into this mess in the first place, but this doesn’t really suit their narrative so let’s watch this play out. When it comes to compliance and quality, you should be onto it. Compliance should be a managed program driven from the top down. If the management doesn’t take responsibility for quality and compliance requirements, then what is the point of having a layer management? We are not talking about a blame free culture, we are talking about an accountability free workplace.
