Same here. No matter how hard I try, and use different approaches, from coaching, to sharing videos, through poiting out why this can benefit you personally, to showing how exactly it creates results, there simply is no interest. People don't care.

It's even worse than that - even the owner of the company I worked for didn't care that the product of his own company will be mediocre, while shouting generally the quality is the goal. It turns out that it was the goal as long as it was incidental and free (no such thing, but it looks that way if you are not deeply involved) and because it sounds good. As soon as reputation collides with the immediate profit, profit always wins.
Yuup. I do find that most of the time business decision makers actually have no clue about quality. Especially with software products if it looks like it works in the demo/looks pretty then the quality must be good right, and these engineers are just being pedantic, cause theyre engineers.
