Do people screw up deliberately?

 Following on from the previous post, do some people screw things up deliberately if –

There is no chance of carrying the can for it.
Potentially harmful change is nudged towards failure.
The nudge is virtually undetectable anyway.
Picking up the pieces will keep the show on the road.

So do organisation folk screw things up deliberately, especially if they don’t have to admit to themselves that screwing up is what they are doing? Especially if colleagues screw up too?

    Demetrius - probably. I'm sure there are many examples if we focus on what happened and are not sidetracked by assuming good intentions.
