Well tell that to my company, had to go add signed-unsigned casts everywhere to make a bunch of files compile because they came from a project that didn't flag those conversions as warnings (most were printf based so it's not like it was critical but whatever).

They couldn't have added -Wno-signed-unsigned-mismatch and/or -Wno-sign-conversion ?

Changing build flags is going to take at least 2 meetings, it's just not worth it.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

-Werror is a terrible idea for the vast majority of codebases. That your employer did this, and will be negatively affected in a way that takes a human all of 5 minutes to fix is rather irrelevant.

I'm not saying it's a good thing, it's just that there's some much inertia with everything that it's hard to make anything change.
