Yes, don't push that button!
It's a known bug in the game. Those buttons sink ships! Manually move the guys around. Double clicking the compartment will staff it. Right clicking the compartment will select it and then you can double click crew members and they will go there.
And don't save right near a kill! It too can cause bugs, as in the ship reincarnates. And there's some more bugs to do with that.
Make sure your 50k from anything, on the surface, before you save.
