If you’re a professional and someone tells you to do something in your field but totally wrong, and you do it anyway knowing it will be bad. That’s on you. Even if the money is good, you know the results will suck and it will come back to you.
In Germany when working in construction and you get explicitly told to do something in a way that you know will lead to problems you make them sign of on your objections. It sounds tedious but it is worth it. So many bullshit decisions that would cost you or in the best case can be influenced by being very clear in your stance.
That’s not just Germany, that’s how professional engineering works in the US as well. Make the engineer put their seal on it, and if anything happens, they’re the ones who lose their license (or even go to prison depending on how bad)
I have come across this in all manner of jobs I have done, people insisting I do something wrong, and every time I followed direction I regretted it. Now I will walk before I do it wrong and get blamed.
But that’s no excuse for these chodes, they got an 11 million dollar contract was it? And they didn’t know you have to prepare the surface properly, clean the surface, sometimes apply a bonding agent. Everyone knows that that has every patched concrete or a hundred other jobs.
