Getting 100,000 widgets produced on time --with none of them meeting
spec--is called FAILURE.
Yeah, but he doesn't stand there on the line and measure them all.

they're paid more. ;-)
If you, Mr. Manager, don't know enough to recognize when your
subordinates have done their jobs *properly*, then you haven't done
your homework and are cheating the company.
Well, of course, that's what customers are for -- to QC our products. ;-)
