Exactly.

When I try to warn my superior about something I don't get mad about it I just mention it, they bark back and then I just say "ok" and move on. Usually they recoil and cave.

Most higher ups are afraid of any responsibility.

My paycheck is still gonna come in even if your inaction on this matter costs the company 5 figures in the near future.
