Safeguards do not make a company less nimble and it's frankly embarrassing that people think that. We should not have to sacrifice people in the name of growth. And the thinking that it's ok to hurt people because it's a "natural cycle of any org" is ridiculous and should be ridiculed. Every company should have a culture of safety where accidents are investigated to determine what changes should be made to processes to ensure there is less harm if that type of accident happens again. That includes tech companies where an accident could be deleting a database or a space company where an accident is a pressure valve exploding.

safeguards are always at odds with agility and latitude.

can you devise a safeguard for this incident which wouldn't negatively impact both of these concepts?
