Tombstone Mentality

[A Can of Man]

I'm intrigued :lol:
Charge 7 mentioned it.
From what I've searched it looks like an attitude where u don't change anything until some dies from the problem... THEN you fix it.

Check the airline industry. You'll find several references.

That's where I learned what it roughly was.

there is also a good quote about it from fight club....it relates to the auto industry and insurance

Oh it's something new to me.

 

[chewie_nz]

ah! found it....the quote from fight club;

Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Business woman on plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator: You wouldn't believe.
Business woman on plane: Which car company do you work for?
Narrator: A major one.

Have you heard of "graveyard humor". Sort of same thread but the same type of mindset.
