When Greed destroys success?

The recent documentary about Boeing is an interesting watch.
How those at the top exercised rampant cost cutting, destroyed trust in a company and lined their own pockets at the expense of everyone else

"In 2009, Boeing opened a facility in North Charleston, South Carolina—a non-union state—to produce the Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” plane as cheaply and quickly as possible. The majority of the plane structure was outsourced from cheaper suppliers rather than being assembled in-house. The facility was soon full of shoddy engineering—ill-fitting pipes were sledgehammered into place, holes were found in aft body fuselage sections, and tiny metal slivers that were liable to cause massive electrical problems were found in the planes.

Did they also mention the outsourcing of software development and testing to India for a sweet contract of $0 until the 787 started selling. Even after they were paying $9/hour for software development and testing of critical airplane systems. They claimed they didn't need senior engineers working on their planes because the planes were mature. Their outsourcing strategy of leave the details to the suppliers cost them billions and late delays. Their strategy to outsource to less experienced software development and testing skilled workers led to failure to implement and test redundancy, and some very bad crashes, with hundreds of people ki-led. Corporate greed not only destroys success, it cost people their lives.
