    I worked as a programmer for quite awhile. The Quality folks’ job was to find bugs. QED: Our job was to WRITE bugs for them to find!

    More like compromising to an agreed upon standard. Either that or quiet quitting defines that office’s culture.

    Quality Control is inspecting the goods after they have been made.

    Quality Assurance is developing a system for producing the goods where it is easy to do it right and difficult to do it wrong.

    Back in the 1980’s there was a thing known as TQM or Total Quality Management that concentrated on QA.

    There was also Termite Quality Management or Taiwan Quality Management which is “If you make enough of them, some of them have to work.”

    Along with “close enough”, I can recall “ship it!” as a QC mantra…

    how do those people get behind their desks? There’s no room to squeeze between the desk and the divider. maybe they are dropped into place with a crane on their first day on the job and then never leave.

    Looked at a newly installed door frame and thought it was a bit off vertical. Asked the builder, who took a stance, studied it, then said it looked alright to him. Then I noticed his right leg was slightly shorter than his left.

    Oxymoron (n): a combination of contradictory or incongruous words; broadly, something (such as a concept) that is made up of contradictory or incongruous elements.

    Examples: jumbo shrimp, old news, deafening silence, quality control.

    The 1969 movie Marooned depicts a desperate rocket launch to save 3 astronauts stranded in orbit before their oxygen runs out. The scene from that film that still sticks with me today is the launch director going over the safety checklist, crossing off lots of stuff so they could blast off in time to get there before their colleagues were all dead. The guy was probably also a big customer of lottery tickets at the local Kwikky Mart.

    There is no quality control, standard or otherwise. Control of quality was lost many years ago.

    Quality Control: You must control the quality. If the quality is too high, folks will begin to expect that.

    All this talk about QA and QC reminds me of this:

    6 PHASES OF A PROJECT

    1. Enthusiasm

    2. Disillusionment

    3. Panic

    4. Search for the Guilty

    5. Punishment of the Innocent

    6. Praise & Honors for the Nonparticipants

    This was my job a year before I retired. They automated everything which caused LOTS of errors as opposed to us entering stuff by hand. The Higher Ups weren’t concerned at all, and said, “Just fix it when someone calls to complain.” Awful
