The highest authorities are concerned; given the severity of the harm caused, the harshest penalties should be imposed.

Many employees of this design institute are innocent; after their design qualifications were downgraded, the institute lost contracts, and the salaries of the designers decreased.

I was also innocent; at the previous company, the deputy production manager asked to carry out welding work, but since the conditions for doing so were not met (it was the second day of pilot production of the equipment), I refused to allow it. From then on, they kept putting me in difficult situations; I couldn’t find any work anymore. Don’t you think I’m innocent?

There’s nothing to do; sometimes it’s necessary to be practical. But everything will get better little by little
