Given that problem solving is already split up in that manner to a large extent these days, it's not impossible that such specialisation would continue into the future.
No, it was their job to fix the problem. The very next story has them talking explicitly about how it is their job to FIX problems with new robots, and if they fail even once, they will get fired.
