Is troubleshooting something that Senior engineers should not care about? /u/Glum_Worldliness4904 CSCQ protests reddit

My 2 previous workplaces were large FinTech Enterprises and I noticed 1 thing that I don’t really understand. Senior engineers were cared to write specs some implementation to it, close KPI and we’re done. When the service/feature/subsytem/etc goes to production I noticed some (pretty complex and subtle) bugs that usually went to middle engineers. The things is it was not appreciated and was like Meh.

For example some mid level engineer from a separate team on our department went down to a Linux Kernel level to investigate performance spike in code written by a Senior engineer. I was very impressed by the approach, but no one else seemed to care.

Is such KPI-chasing practice become common in the industry?
