How is that different from US corporations

Well for one US corporations are not a monolith (or at least not yet) but yes some US corporations are like the same is this example, some German ones too, also Chinese, British, etc., and in all of these case this type of work culture is terrible and unproductive. But in this case we are very specifically discussing the German train company Deutsche Bahn so what other corporations are or aren't doing is complete irrelevant to the conversation, if you would like to discuss what other corporations with this same business culture I would suggest starting a new discussion thread. I hope this helps clear up any confusion you may have.

My company goes as far as awarding teams that have epic failures. Corporate goals often include more risk taking, and leaders communicate that.

One thing that helps is I am an industry where failure is common and where project failure often has a clear root cause outside the control of the team.
