I worked somewhere that was killing off their QA department and in a company wide meeting explained it by saying
“when you go to a store a pick up a part, you expect it to have gone through QA”
Lots of head scratching that day.
They still don’t QA their products. They just ship them and let the customers complain if something is wrong.
Reminds me when we had three companies merging at the same time and the bosses brought everyone in to tell the grunts and sales people that no one will be losing jobs. I ask, “You know when you move in with someone and you have to get rid of a set of dishes. Do you think you need three sets of dishes?” Yeah, so there were tons of lay offs.
Why even lie about it. Anyone smart enough to be worth something at the company is also smart enough to know better. You’ll lose everyone you can’t afford to lose.
