How many of you have worked in quality industry? Either pharmaceutical/chemical, med devices, or software

Did you ever encounter an environment where quality associates were not encouraged to bring to light events and deviations? I know there are politics that evolve from quality statics at every major corporation, but some of them seem to be particularly "choosey."

Is it better to compromise your integrity and ignore details that may lead to a lack of compliance, or is it better to be 100% open and reveal any event that is observed?

In the "quality control/assurance" profession, they record almost everything, and there's also audits and third party inspectors to check em.

Wait, WHAT? Is that a fake image because those would be grounded inside and on the same exact grounding. The only thing you should be able to do with a tester on those is a continuity check.

Clearly its either fake, or a garbage wiring job.

Like using those shitty plastic boxes instead of the metal ones that are grounded.

if you find yourself in that kind of situation, you should start looking for a new job right away
on the one hand, even though all companies say they want 100% compliance, no one is going to hire a whistleblower
on the other hand, if you worked quality at a company that had a quality violation, you just proved your incompetence
really, you should get out of quality altogether

>quality industry

what? This isn't a term used.

>Is it better to compromise your integrity and ignore details that may lead to a lack of compliance, or is it better to be 100% open and reveal any event that is observed?

noncompliance is met with lawsuits in almost every industry, especially ones where people rely on your products to live. So this question is stupid.

Why would you need to ground a plastic box when they dont conduct and there is a ground wire in Romex cable? If you were anyone who knows jack shit about electrical installation, or electricity for that matter, you would know how retarded your post sounds.

Learn English please. Then read that post again and apply logic. I swear, /sci/ has some of the stupidest people. Are you a phone poster?

It's not like customer's don't notice product defects or other things that failed to be caught by a QA/QS tech.

Plus, in addition to inspections/audits by large customers, there are ISO and FDA audits that will catch accidental and intentional errors/non-conformances.

I work for a medical device manufacturer, so our customers are very quality-conscious, and all have their own QA departments and procedures for validating products prior to use.

It's taken vary seriously, and if someone is found to not be taking product quality seriously, they don't last long enough to impact any product that leaves the manufacturing facility.
