Whose fault is it?

Whose fault? Humans are complex creatures; wherever there are people, there is cooperation, but also disagreements and conflicts. Humans are always a combination of interests and contradictions. Perhaps I’m going too deep here. During work, and also on our HaiChuan forum, it’s common to see disputes and arguments arising from work-related matters; in fact, people argue from the perspective of their own interests. Although it’s all for the sake of work, such situations end up causing tension and hostility, which is not good for anyone. After all, when working in the same company, constantly having conflicts with colleagues is not a pleasant situation. But as the saying goes, \"In the world of business, one has no control over their circumstances.\" No one wants to start trouble, but sometimes it’s inevitable. Perhaps when people are not at work, even while drinking and chatting with friends, they might say that working itself isn’t difficult – it’s human relationships that are the hardest part. Whose fault is it after all? There are disputes between the process teams and the support staff regarding who is responsible for certain tasks – who should handle this valve, who should carry out this work. There are also conflicts among the support staff themselves. If a pump doesn’t operate properly, it could be due to insufficient process conditions, a faulty pump, or a problem with the motor. If a gauge gives inaccurate readings, is it because of the process conditions or because the gauge itself is malfunctioning? There are countless such issues that arise during work; examples are endless. One question keeps coming to mind: for matters as routine as these, there must surely be some standards. It can’t be that those working at the lower levels just fight over who has the upper hand. Society is developing rapidly these days, and the chemical industry has also gone through years of refinement. Moreover, there are useful experiences from abroad as well – everything there relies on standards, systems, and clear divisions of labor; there should always be definite regulations in place. Perhaps there are such standards, but in actual work, it’s unclear whether companies’ workshops are established according to these standards or not; it’s also unclear whether the people working there end up struggling to decide what to do. Whether it’s the workers who are confused, or whether the managers prefer to see them arguing with each other as it facilitates work, that remains unknown. After all the arguing, on one hand it helps to identify the key points, which is beneficial for work; but sometimes, work might get neglected and left unattended.
