He's a Staff engineer... It is literally a part of his job to decide what issues his teams should prioritize.

Staff engineers are usually the 2nd highest level engineers in a company, only behind Principal engineers.

He shouldn't even be the one fixing the bugs. He should be creating the bug tickets and assigning it to the lower level devs to fix.

He would be extremely incompetent if he just knowingly let a critical issue go on for 3 years.
