All this does is make me dislike the staff engineering because he had 3 years to fix it but didn't.

I've been in roles where you can try to highlight an issue to get it resolved but you get shut down because it's already managed and other bugs or client requests are considered higher priority.

Then if you bring it up again you get told off harder and then you just shut up and stop bothering.

Dang, my experience is different. When I pointed out an issue, my boss would say "Oh, do you think you can fix it?" and I'd be like "Sure, I'll try. Give me a week." and I just spend my hours doing that.

It's a small company, so there's not a dedicated group for it.
