blazebounty
/ˈbleɪzˌbaʊnti/nounVerified NewA reward structure that pays for heroic rescues and pays nothing for the quiet prevention of the fires being rescued.
The engineer who saves the launch gets the bonus; the engineer whose boring checklist meant nothing ever burned gets a mention in a document. Blazebounty teaches the organization, gently and repeatedly, that fires are career opportunities.
Etym. — blaze + bounty: a price put on putting fires out — and therefore, indirectly, on their existence.
