    Risks are normally outside the reasonable control of the company. For example, sales not hitting the target. They can’t just press a button and up goes the sales.

    This was entirely within the company’s control. That risk shouldn’t ever be there at all. They could’ve avoided the entire situation if they chose not to ship the faulty software.

      Brilliant. Simply write software without bugs. You should certainly be in charge.

        Or just test the damn thing before shipping it to customers. That’s standard practice in the software industry.

        If they had just installed it on one of their own Windows machines, none of this would’ve happened.

          Testing? You expect this person to consider testing?

          That’s an extra step that will realistically lead to more work! That’s outrageous, can’t have that. Just won’t do.
